Ricos en busca de sol
El asentamiento empezó a atraer a comienzos del siglo pasado a los primeros adinerados que pretendían disfrutar del buen tiempo y participar del nacimiento de una gran urbe. En primera línea de costa comenzaron a edificarse mansiones.

Personas de distintas culturas y orígenes recalaron en Miami: el primer alcalde fue un católico irlandés, la mayoría de los comerciantes eran judíos y surgió una comunidad de bahameños. El crecimiento urbano parecía imparable en la década de 1920, cuando el precio de las viviendas se cuadruplicó en cuestión de cinco años.

En esa época el legendario promotor inmobiliario George Merrick creó Coral Gables, la primera comunidad planificada, a la que siguieron Miami Springs, Opa-Locka y Miami Beach. Mientras, Carl Fisher construía hoteles lujosos y campos de polo y de golf para complacer a los acaudalados. Las propiedades cambiaban de manos, a veces en un mismo día y siempre a precios más altos.

La especulación del suelo quedó truncada por el destructivo huracán de 1926 y el crack bursátil de 1929, que desembocó en la Gran Depresión. De este modo se puso término a la primera fase de desarrollo.

El exilio cubano
Miami salió de la crisis económica antes que el resto del país, a principios de los años treinta, gracias al impulso de la industria aeronáutica. Pan American Airways, compañía aérea más conocida como Pan Am, inició la era moderna de este sector desde Florida y en su publicidad ya presentaba a Miami como “la puerta de las Américas”.

Calle Ocho

This famous centre point, which spans 30 blocks, is the most important commercial road in Little Havana, and represents the emotional heart of Cuban exile. The liveliest stretch sits between 11th and 17th Avenue; this main strip is scattered with monuments such as the eternal flame, honouring the members of the 2506 Brigade who, in 1961, with support from the U.S., died in an attempt to invade Cuba to overthrow the communist regime introduced by Fidel Castro.

The locals meet here every year on April 17th to commemorate this event. The original El Crédito Cigar Factory is close to the intersection between Calle Ocho and 11th Avenue. Opened in Havana in 1907, it was later moved to Miami in 1968.

The pavement is embedded with a number of stars bearing the names of famous Latin Americans, including Julio Iglesias, Andy Garcia and Gloria Estefan, in a tropical version of the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Miami Metrozoo

Located to the south of Miami, it is renowned as an enormous artistic zoo housing more than 700 animals, which are separated from visitors by a number of simple ditches.

Covering 116 hectares, the Metrozoo offers everything the family needs for an enjoyable and entertaining day out: animal shows, tram and monorail rides, souvenir shops, food stalls and a playground.

Considered one of the top zoos in the country, it has received numerous awards for its breeding of rare and endangered species. Its main attractions include gorillas, Malayan bears and white Bengal tigers. Strongly suggested.

La más joven de las grandes metrópolis estadounidenses es sinónimo de arenales infinitos, brisas oceánicas, palmeras, sol y chiringuitos.

Y también de art déco, de fiesta a todas horas y de sabor latino. Miami y South Beach, conocida como la puerta de entrada a América Latina, cuenta con un 60% de población hispana: desde nicaragüenses hasta venezolanos, pasando por ecuatorianos, brasileños, haitianos, dominicanos, mexicanos y, por supuesto, cubanos.

No en vano,se considera la capital de los exiliados del régimen de Fidel Castro desde principios de los años sesenta, además del epicentro económico y turístico del estado de Florida, ese apéndice que remata el extremo sureste de Estados Unidos.

At the beginning of the last century, the settlement started to draw the eye of the wealthy who, aside from being allured by the sun, wanted to play a part in Miami’s growth. They began to build mansions on the seafront. People of different descent and from distinct cultures started to arrive in Miami: the first mayor was an Irish Catholic, the majority of the shopkeepers were Jewish, and a community of Bahamians soon arose.

Urban growth seemed unstoppable in the 1920s, and the housing prices quadrupled in just five years. It was during this period that the legendary real estate developer George Merrick established the first apartment complex, Coral Gables, which was soon followed by Miami Springs, Opa-Locka and Miami Beach. Meanwhile, Carl Fisher built luxurious hotels and polo and golf courses to keep the well-off happy.

Properties were continuously changing hands – sometimes even in the same day – and always at higher prices. However, the land boom was cut short by a destructive hurricane in 1926 and the collapse of the Stock Exchange in 1929, the source of the Great Depression.

This concluded the first phase of development.
