Mid-morning
First stop, if you like a cigar, is El Créditto (see El Créditto & El Créditto) on SW 11th Ave. Just a few doors along you’ll find the Botánica El Aguila Vidente . Let your eye wander over the shop’s plethora of paraphernalia, most of all the colorful plaster statues.
Next stop is at SW 13th Avenue, to pay your respects to fallen Cuban freedom fighters at the Brigade 2506 Memorial Eternal Flame (see The Brigade 2506 Memorial on Cuban Memorial Boulevard), before a sortie into the delightful fruit market at 1334, Los Pinareños Fruteria .
At the corner of SW 15th Ave, peek in on Domino Park where there’s always at least one game going on. And now comes time to stop for coffee and maybe a snack at the wonderful Exquisito (see Exquisito Restaurant). Try to grab one of the vibrantly colored tables outside.
Late morning
Continuing on to the next block, at 1652, take in the exciting Latin American art at the Agustín Gaínza Gallery , where you’re likely to meet the affable artist himself.
After that, try a free-form ramble of discovery – but don’t miss the gaudy entrance to La Casa de los Trucos , at 1343 – and when it’s time for lunch, head for El Pescador , also on the north side of Calle Ocho. This is the place to go for delicious fish.
