A vibrant latin atmosphere permeates everything in Little Havana — colourful murals, monuments to heroes past and present, cigar rollers deeply at work amidst Little Havana’s ever-present aroma of Cuban coffee and elderly men playing dominoes at pavement café tables as they discuss politics. Set against a rich backdrop of Little Havana’s pulsating music, vibrant storefronts, unique art galleries and quaint restaurants it really isn’t difficult to imagine yourself just 230 miles south in Cuba itself.
