The wine is from Colombia, the coffee from Cuba, the ice cream from Italy, and the churros from Argentina, but don't be confused! You have arrived for a food tour in Miami Beach, known for its long and well-maintained beaches (over ten kilometers!) and the many hotels along the coast.
Over the years, Miami has attracted many immigrants, primarily from South and Central America. Today, the large Spanish-speaking population in Miami has made it an important economic and cultural center in the Hispanic world. These influences are also reflected in Miami's culinary world and various cuisines.
