An Afternoon in Calle Ocho, Miami

When visiting South Beach, I love to visit Calle Ocho "Little Havana" because of the Cuban flavor and local charm.   One of my favorite Cuban markets is "Los Pinarenos Fruteria".  It is a family owned, open air, market on 1334 SW 8th St Miami and 13th Avenue.  Here you can sit and enjoy a Cuban coffee or a glass of
freshly squeezed juice as well as shop for some flowers, fruit and/or vegetables.

Here are some photographs of a local Cuban restaurant in Calle Ocho, El Pub Restaurant, where you can experience authentic Cuban cuisine.  I could not resist an order of frijoles negro, tostones, and a Cuban sandwich.

    Are you in Miami? Looks warm. It is absolutely frigid on the east coast. It is around 2 degrees in DC. Pictures are great!

    Your pictures remind me of how far away I am from you! Australia has mangoes in season as well, but no sign of all that wonderful south american colour...
