The Spanish first discovered Miami in the early 16th century and these days the whole area has an exotic Latin feel to it - from the delightful architecture in pastel-coloured Coral Gables to the genuine Cuban community in Little Havana with its eclectic shops, cafés and Latin cuisine restaurants.
As well as boasting a wide variety of shops and museums, Miami is also host to beautiful white sandy beaches, National parks and a lively atmosphere.
