Guidebook for Tampa
Sightseeing
One of the most unique and historic neighborhoods in the world. First place in the country to allow interracial marriage due to incredible migration of multi-national peoples. There is literally a plot of land that is technically owned by Cuba here! 1800s era cigar factories are now being reused and repurposed for businesses and residences. Great nightlife and tons of coffee spots and shops by day.
