Calle Ocho is the beating heart of the Little Havana neighborhood, where a number of different immigrant communities, especially Cubans, have settled to begin a new life in the USA. Little Havana is rather like the Miami equivalent of New York’s Little Italy, and Calle Ocho is the neighborhood’s main street.
The English name of the street is S.W. Eighth Street, but it’s known as Calle Ocho to everyone, locals and tourists alike.
