Calle Ocho

SW 8th St.

A Little Slice of Cuba


Must See

Address:
SW 8th Street
(between 12th and 27th Ave.)
Miami, FL 33130

Description

Located in the "Little Havana" section of Miami, Calle Ocho provides its visitors all the flavor of Cuba in the setting of downtown Miami. With plenty of small ethnic shops such as fruiterias (fruit stores) and panaderias (bakeries) and of course authentic Cuban restaurants, this is the place to go to get a sample of Miami's Cuban vibe, and do some serious shopping and relaxing in the process. In March the neighborhood hosts the largest street party in the country and gives revelers a chance to join in one of the longest conga lines in the world.
