Exert from the Miami Travel Guide
Miami, Florida is a sprawling cosmopolitan city known for its deep cultural heritage, over the top personality and wide array of entertainment.
The Hispanic and Caribbean influence soon becomes evident upon arrival. From Spanish conquistadors to immigrants from neighboring Latin-American nations; Spanish-speakers have played a huge role in the evolution of Miami.
Cubans have had a presence in the city for awhile thanks to Cuba being in such close proximity to Miami. After Fidel Castro’s rise to power in 1959, the influence of Cubans further increased as waves of them left their homeland to flock to Florida’s shores.
Cubans brought with them unique styles of music and dance, such as rumba and conga, as well as their language and delicious food.
