The architects who worked to you wanted to go away from the spagnoleggianti outlines of the local architecture, in order to express in a language own, harmonious and spensierato, that he transmitted to the joy and the atmosphere of the Tropico to the rich ones vacationing come to svernare on the island.
The style from they created is known like Miami Beach Art Decò or Tropical Decò, in which the topics and the outlines of the European style come adapted to the atmosphere, with inspired decorative elements to the vegetation and the tropical habitat, thus emphasizing the contrast between the industrial cities of the north of the Country, foggy and grey, and the solar brightness of this place of holiday from the perennial summer.
Here then the esuberanti decorations of the palaces with forms drawn from a rigogliosa and refined nature, the profusione of the colons pastel, turchese, rose, lilla, blue, evocativi of exotic seas and sensuali flowers, lines from always belonged to the Avalon Hotel, Hotel Ocean Five, Cavalier Hotel, Hotel Park Central and generally in nearly all the Hotels in Ocean Drive.
During the second world war the prestigious hotels of Miami and Miami Beach were occupied from the army; at the end of the war the tourist zone was moved towards north and it emphasized the degradation and the abandonment of many buildings that totally expressed the architectonic taste of the period between the two wars.
In 1979 the Decò quarter with its 500 buildings, was recognized of historical-artistic interest and was delivered up Miami Design Preservation League for the safeguard of “happens them world-wide of the Art Deco”.

The majority of the European tourists who o in Florida, lands to the International airport of Miami, the more important port of call for the flights that reach from the old continent.
The first impact is therefore with the city-symbol of Florida, that it reassumes and it emphasizes in best many of the aspects of the American cities. The great roads are always extended in the tropical green, flanked from dipped villas and villette in garden that seems greenhouses; The skyscrapers in downtown the perfect and most recent design, have been realized so that they at best reflect and they value the light and the colors, in a spectacular effect of mirrors, glasses, volumes.
Lately they have been approved of and constructed new skyscrapers in this zone that is becoming the center of transactions of Miami.
The beach of Miami Beach, deduction in the 2008 best city beach to the world, is great, white woman, cleaned up, with to the shoulders the delicious buildings of the Decò District, of SoBe as they love to call it the residents, from the delicate colors pastel.
Miami Beach, the vacation dreammed from million Americans, synonym of wealth, divertimento, spiagge gilded, of miliardarie villas, city in which the palms and the garden they grow tenacious in the middle of the E glass the financial concrete of the futuristic center; but also city of racial crashs, of quarters ghetto, world-wide center of the shunting of the drug and the recycling of happens them South American to it legacies, natural bridge between the North and the South America.
Florida is a rich earth, where the wealth is perceived concretely, but is also earth of contrasts and ferments, of humanity and culture crossings: the most various appearances and colors are looked at on the faces of people, many quarters of the great cities constitute islands of culture and traditions own, in which to diffused language more she is not English, but the Spanish, above all to Miami for via of the many Cuban presents.
Florida however is not alone Miami Beach, does not offer only a bathing vacation of luxury in the opulent citizens of the East Coast, where the enormous yachts and the hidden villas are the necessary foundation to the vacations of the America that it counts.
And a pianeggiante earth, where it is travelled for hours on wide and incredibly incredibly straight roads; it is run towards a flat and enormous horizon, in the middle of extended without end of swampy grass or to forests of cypresses and mangrovie pointed out on the channels, in a indescrivibile variety of greens ignited from the tropical sun.
Little far away from the metropoli some of the more important are extended National Parks of the Country, between which Everglades, true sanctuary of the nature, between the richest of the continent for species animals and vegetables.
The tourist comes near to you in a nearly irreale dimension, running on the airboat in the middle of extended of the highest grass, as far as the eye can see; between the slanciati cypresses they dull here and here extended of water, ponds and covered smalls lake of ninfee and other aquatic grass; in the coastal swamps, true mazes of intricate mangrovie, live indisturbati alligators, raccoons, birds of svariatissime species and many other animals, in a delicate equilibrium that can be enough little in order to alter.
II Marine Park of Biscayne offers a habitat of great interest for the lovers of the immersion and the underwater exploration, than it can be carried out also along the coasts of the many islands, in particular of beautifulst Florida Keys, south of Miami Beach.
These islands are spread like a natural bridge between North America and the Caribbeanses and, to a sweetest tropical nature, join the fascination of all the border lands, of crossroads between worlds and various cultures; you an indolent atmosphere is breathed and informal, glad and free, that it has always recalled the more varied humanity, intellectual, globetrotter, bohémiens in it tries of emotions, diseredati and miliardari.
II day the boats leave for the height peach or for the immersions in the rich ones I found them tropical; the evening, between the songs and the glad confusion of warm the nights and stellate, shows are improvised, are danced, sound every type of music, from the country to the reggae, the rock to the merengue, the hip-hop to trade them.
Who is attracted from the technology and from science world of the explorations can itself be dived in the fascinating spaces them to the Chief Kennedy Space Center: the sight of the rampe of launch, the enormous launch vehicle Saturno or the museum of the Astronauts, constitutes a moving experience of contact with I’avventura of the future, decidedly only.
To little distance from this world it rations them, the irreale reign of the fantasy of Disney World to Orlando, to approximately 3,5 hours in car from Miami Beach, is a immancabile stage, ineguagliabile for the children, but funny also for the adults.
Going towards north the atmosphere of the Tropici affievolisce in the former campaign of the Panhandle (said exactly for to its tight form and long “manico of frying pan”) thus similar to that of the “deep American south “: the tidy small farms and the beautiful dwellings in style “Old America” are ollowed in the tidy landscape that runs towards I’Atlantico, scattered of citrus groves and fields of cotton; , here and here calm and operose citizens, between which St. Augustine, the most ancient takeover of the USA, all protesa in the cult of its short history of city of the New World.
