Culture in Miami
The culture in Miami has discrete influences, but mainly Latin. The inhabitants are from all colse to Latin America: Cuba, Haiti, Puerto Rico and many others. In a statistic from 2003 it was said that more than 55% of the people living in Miami were born in a foreign country. When you're walking on the streets of Miami it is very common to hear people speaking English as much as Spanish. There is a big variety of people and cultures that made the Miami culture what it is now, an exotic and involved subject. But there is also a bad side to this story for the inhabitants of Miami, because the city is in constant evolution and growth they are forced to move to the west side of Miami because the once ordinary areas colse to the beaches are becoming too high-priced to live in.
A quit prominent part of Miami is the Cuban community, with exiguous Havana as its heart. This is a place full of culture and history. The society is only 25 block wide, but the inhabitants made the most of it, they flooded it with restaurants, car dealerships, music shop and with the world renowned Cuban cigars factories. One of the most impressive street here, is the Calle Ocho, renowned for the Latin themed parties that are being held here.

The most renowned event that takes place on Calle Ocho, is The Miami Carnival. If you are a Miami culture lover, then you must attend one of these carnivals. The Miami Carnival is the biggest and most prominent Latin carnival in the U.S. It takes place during the month of March and it lasts 10 days in which more than one million tourists come to exiguous Havana to palpate the Hispanic food, music and culture.
When you arrive in Miami for the first time, you feel like you have reached a different continent, because of the restaurants, malls and people. exiguous Havana hosts some of the best coffee shops and if you feel like smoking a Cuban cigar, almost every block has a store from where you can buy one.
If you find yourself in exiguous Havana you won't get to far using just English, so if you plan on going there you should learn a few basic words in Spanish, just so you can move colse to the community. Overall, a visit in Miami, Florida is useless without a taste of its Latin based culture.
