Маленька гаванська сигарна фабрика

Ми відвідаємо всесвітньо відому маленьку гаванську сигарну фабрику. Ви дізнаєтесь і побачите кубинську техніку катання, а також різноманітні подарунки, доступні там. Ми пропонуємо цей огляд від : Gary Warner: Це було дуже інформативно та повчально. Ми забронювали його і точно дізналися про сигарну індустрію та процес створення сигар, які мені подобаються! Дуже рекомендую екскурсію! Це було дуже корисно, і ми купили сигари додому!

Музей Кубаочо та Центр виконавських мистецтв

Коментар Ренді: феноменальна атмосфера, музика та безліч творів мистецтва. Ми отримали мохіто, які були безперечно варті грошей. Ми спробували купу мохіто в цьому районі, і цей вибухнув у воді. Коментар пані Флауерз: Це було фантастично! Ми дуже добре провели час! Чудова музика, коктейлі, танці. Ми не можемо дочекатися, щоб відвідати знову!

Мистецтво та таверна Агустіна Гайнзи

Мистецтво та таверна gustin Gainza широко відома як Taberna del Pintor. Нова концепція в Маленькій Гавані пропонує вино, тапас і живу музику. Унікальна атмосфера в історичному районі Калле 8 Маямі з головним героєм Агустіном Гайнзою. Мистецька галерея Південної Флориди, яка вже понад 15 років є основною художньою галереєю Південної Флориди, тепер змінює свій простір, де подають невеликі страви, легкі закуски та знамените мохіто від Ґаінзи. Тепер ви можете милуватися мистецтвом Агустіна Гаїнзи, насолоджуючись келихом вина. Його траєкторія охоплює понад 4 десятиліття, присвячені малюнку, офорту, кераміці та його постійному середовищу — живопису. Він виставлявся в галереях у Сполучених Штатах, Європі та Карибському басейні, включаючи свою рідну країну, Кубу.

Calle Ocho

Пекарня Yisell на вулиці Очо Місцева пекарня, куди заходять усі місцеві жителі. Ми їмо там щодня. Ви зможете скуштувати всесвітньо відомий і улюблений місцевими жителями пастелітос (кубинську випічку), а також тісто з яловичини та арроз кон лече з кубинською кавою та фланом. Неодмінно порадує ваші смакові рецептори та бажання.

Парк Доміно

Ранній ранок і день і початок нового тижня. Сміх і голоси змішуються одночасно, ідеально пасуючи до святкової атмосфери. Доміно вдаряє об кілька столів, стукіт перетворюється на мелодію. Парк Максимо Гомес, більш відомий як парк Доміно, як і багато інших місць Маямі, є місцем злиття різних ідентичностей. Саме тут, у Маленькій Гавані, на розі Південно-Західної Восьмої вулиці та 15-ї авеню — лише за кілька кроків від театру Тауер — місцеві жителі десятиліттями грали в доміно. Тепер туристи наполягають на тому, щоб стати свідками гри, в якій переплітаються товариськість і суперництво. Тиша поступається місцем зосередженості. Доміно і сміх, як кастаньєти, переривають перемир'я і сигналізують про початок гри на столі під однією з альтанок. Воістину досвід, який ви не забудете.

Маямі Тауер

Театр MDC Tower Theatre є однією з найстаріших культурних пам’яток Маямі. Коли він відкрився в грудні 1926 року, це був найкращий сучасний театр на Півдні. Він розташований на SW Eighth Street і Fifteenth Avenue в Маямі, штат Флорида. Наприкінці п'ятдесятих і протягом шістдесятих років велика кількість кубинських біженців втекла до Маямі. Територія навколо S.W. Восьма вулиця - "Calle Ocho" - стала місцем нових починань. Для багатьох кубинських сімей фільми в кінотеатрі MDC Tower Theatre були не лише чистою розвагою, а й знайомством з американською культурою. Невдовзі театр MDC Tower Theatre змінив свою програму, щоб включити англомовні фільми з іспанськими субтитрами, а згодом іспаномовні фільми. Він все ще працює через 93 роки.

Музей затоки свиней

Невдале вторгнення в Затоку Свиней змусило Кастро дедалі обережніше ставитися до подальшого втручання США та бути більш відкритим до радянських пропозицій щодо розміщення ядерної зброї на Кубі для забезпечення її безпеки. Через півтора року після вторгнення він прагнув тісніших відносин з Радянським Союзом, частково для захисту, що допомогло прокласти шлях до Кубинської ракетної кризи в жовтні 1962 року. Супровідна примітка: «У центрі столичного Маямі є місто в місті, відоме як «Маленька Гавана». Понад п'ятсот тисяч американців кубинського походження оселилися в районі Маямі після першого великого відтоку в 1959 році». Ми відвідаємо Меморіал у бухті свиней із коротким уроком історії від екскурсовода-експерта з Куби.

8

М'яч і ланцюг

Культовий нічний клуб 1930-1950-х років знову стає місцем живої музики з їжею та напоями в кубинському стилі. Ми йдемо з перепусткою і закінчуємо тут для тих, хто хоче залишитися після закінчення туру зі знижками та спеціальними пропозиціями.

Domino Park

Early Morning and afternoon and the beginning of a new week. Laughter and voices mix simultaneously, a perfect match for the festive ambiance. Dominoes smack against several tables, the clatter rising into a melody. Maximo Gomez Park, better known as Domino Park, is like many other Miami places, a convergence of different identities. It is here, in Little Havana, in the space on the corner of Southwest Eighth Street and 15th Avenue — just steps away from the Tower Theater — that locals have played Dominoes for decades. Now tourists insist on bearing witness to the game in which camaraderie and rivalry intertwine. Silence gives way to concentration. Dominoes and laughter, like castanets, interrupt the truce and signal that the game has started on the table under one of the gazebos. Truly an experience you won't forget.

Domino Park

Early Morning and afternoon and the beginning of a new week. Laughter and voices mix simultaneously, a perfect match for the festive ambiance. Dominoes smack against several tables, the clatter rising into a melody. Maximo Gomez Park, better known as Domino Park, is like many other Miami places, a convergence of different identities. It is here, in Little Havana, in the space on the corner of Southwest Eighth Street and 15th Avenue — just steps away from the Tower Theater — that locals have played Dominoes for decades. Now tourists insist on bearing witness to the game in which camaraderie and rivalry intertwine. Silence gives way to concentration. Dominoes and laughter, like castanets, interrupt the truce and signal that the game has started on the table under one of the gazebos. Truly an experience you won't forget.

Miami Tower

MDC's Tower Theater is one of Miami's oldest cultural landmarks. When it opened in December 1926, it was the finest state-of-the-art theater in the South. It is located on SW Eighth Street and Fifteenth Avenue in Miami, Florida. During the late fifties and throughout the sixties, large numbers of Cuban refugees fled to Miami. The area surrounding S.W. Eighth Street - "Calle Ocho" - became a place of new beginnings. For many Cuban families, films at MDC's Tower Theater were an introduction to American culture in addition to pure entertainment. Soon MDC's Tower Theater altered its programming to include English-language films with Spanish subtitles, and eventually Spanish-language films. It is still operating after 97 years.
