Since Little Havana is an actual neighborhood filled with real people going about their daily business and not a “packaged tourist experience”, it goes without saying that a visit to the Woodlawn Park Cemetery (3260 SW 8th St., 8 a.m.–sunset daily) should be undertaken respectfully.
History buffs will find much to appreciate, from the Gothic statuary and numerous beautiful grave markers to the final resting places of three former presidents of Cuba, other Cuban notables such as Antonio Prohias (creator of the Spy vs. Spy comics), and the touching Unknown Cuban Freedom Fighter Memorial.
