The diverse cultural mix in Miami has attracted visitors for decades, and has been a magnet for people on the search for a great city in which to live. This is perhaps no better demonstrated than at the annual Calle Ocho Festival held every March in Little Havana. It began in the late 70s, sponsored by the local Kiwanis Club, in order to celebrate and highlight the rich Latin heritage of the city and its inhabitants. There are plenty of things to see here for guests at the best Miami spas , looking to add some culture to their luxury experience.

There’s plenty to see here, but it’s also true that the great things about the festival are here in the city every day and night. Live music and dancing are just part of it, but those who’ve been in Miami at night understand that these activities are an endless source of fun and inspiration. The festival has also featured another traditional element of Latin culture that can be seen every day. Dominos is one of the oldest games in the world, and seeing old men at tables in the park is a very familiar sight. The festival did set the record for the most people playing dominos simultaneously, with 278 players, in 2008.
