Coral Gables Travel Guide: 21 reviews and 105 photos
I actually live in Coral Gables, which is a suburb of sorts of Miami. Since I've lived here for quite some time, this is a page I really should get around to working on. But, due to the fact that Miami is the popular destination, I've put most of my tips on that page and left this one almost wholly neglected.
I'll try to update this page as time permits. In the meantime, feel free to email me if you have any questions about Coral Gables.
- Pros:Beautiful homes, trees and Florida sunshine
- Cons:Its getting way too crowded here
- In a nutshell:Its home, for now.

We are planning to perhaps have a layover at the Biltmore after our Galapagos trip, if the money holds out ... There's a Nordstroms? I'm there :o) Looooove Nordstroms ~ Helen
I guess the next time I'm in Coral Gables, I need to visit the Biltmore for their brunch. Thanks for the tip.
Absolutely spot on for the brunch at Biltmore
