Join us as we explore the vibrant Ybor City in Tampa, Florida! 🇨🇺✨ We kicked off our day at Jose Marti Park, a little slice of Cuba right in Tampa, where we were charmed by the free-roaming chickens and the historical ambiance. 🐔🛶 Next, we dove into the rich history at the Ybor City Museum State Park, with amazing exhibits that give you a glimpse into the area's fascinating past. 🏛️

No visit to Ybor is complete without experiencing the Columbia Restaurant, the oldest Spanish restaurant in the USA! From fresh, flavorful salads to the iconic Cubano sandwiches, every bite was unforgettable. 🥗🥪

We then toured the JC Newman Cigar Factory, where we explored the history of cigars and even had the chance to learn how to roll our own! Cigars of every variety were available for purchase, making it a must-see spot for any cigar enthusiast. 🚬

We wrapped up our tour at Cigar City Brewing, one of our favorite spots for craft beer. 🍺🍻 Perfect end to a perfect day!
