Take a quick moment back on South Beach
to take a peak at Espanola Way. It's a block-
and-a-half long area that looks like some-
thing out of old Cuba and shows the archi-
tectural style that was popular in South
Beach before Art Deco took over. There are
plenty of bars and restaurants along the
stretch if you need a bite or refreshments.
A trip to the area would not be com-
plete without strolling up and down the
nine blocks or so along Ocean Drive, where
the South Beach phenomenon began. But
do not consider this among the not-to-be
missed events of your trip. When you see
signs for 99-cent tacos and tacky souvenir
stores, you'll realize Ocean Drive, while still
decadently fun, is starting to add a bit of
seediness to the equation.
There are still plenty of great hotels and
