Since the 1940s, it was common for the island\u2019s middle class to visit the city to shop and stroll. However, the wave of exiles in the 1960s forever changed the essence of Little Havana. The vibrant colors, the aromas of Cuban food, the music that resonated on every corner&#8230;everything evoked Cuba; also politics, in fact, one of the most marked features. It was not just a neighborhood; it was, for better or worse, a piece of the island brought to South Florida.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_310380\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-310380\" style=\"width: 1366px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Pequena-Habana00006-1366x875-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-310380\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Pequena-Habana00006-1366x875-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1366\" height=\"875\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Pequena-Habana00006-1366x875-1.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Pequena-Habana00006-1366x875-1-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Pequena-Habana00006-1366x875-1-1024x656.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Pequena-Habana00006-1366x875-1-768x492.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Pequena-Habana00006-1366x875-1-750x480.jpg 750w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Pequena-Habana00006-1366x875-1-1140x730.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1366px) 100vw, 1366px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-310380\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A McDonald\u2019s in Little Havana, in Miami, designed with Cuban allegories.
