Description: Explorers in Tampa Bay can embark on a unique journey to Cuba without the requirement of passports. In Tampa Bay's historic Latin Quarter, Ybor City, a genuine fragment of Cuban territory known as José Martí Park awaits. This park stands as a testament to the memory of José Martí, the poet, journalist, and impassioned leader who spearheaded Cuba's revolutionary movement against Spanish dominion during the late 1800s. Nestled at the intersection of 8th Avenue and 13th Street, this park is a direct possession of the people of Cuba. For nearly sixty years, it stood as the solitary parcel of Cuban-owned land within the United States until the opening of the Cuban Embassy in Washington, D.C., in 2015. The park's perimeter is secured and locked during nighttime hours. In the daytime, visitors will encounter a statue of Martí and designated areas representing diverse regions of the island where lush greenery flourishes.
