"most people speak Spanish" Little Habana Tip by goingsolo

Little Habana, Miami: 4 reviews and 1 photos

Miami is approximately 60% Hispanic. As a result of this Latin American influence, there is a large Spanish speaking population, many of whom speak little or no English. Just something to keep in mind when asking for directions. Its not uncommon to be addressed in Spanish when entering a store or restaurant as the people who work there are used to people coming in and speaking Spanish. But, depending on the area of Miami, most people working in stores/restaurants, etc. do speak English and are willing to helo you out if you do not speak Spanish.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
