Lonely Planet review

As SW 8th St heads away from downtown, it becomes Calle Ocho. That's when you know you've arrived in Little Havana, the most prominent community of Cuba-Americans in the US. But this is no Cuban theme park; it's a real neighborhood where real people live and work, and it's a great place to shop for Cuban music and clothes.

One of the best times to experience it is the last Friday of the month during Viernes Culturales or 'Cultural Fridays', a street fair showcasing Latino artists and musicians.
