First-time visitors to Miami are often surprised at the strong Hispanic flavour of the place. Of course, its as much a gateway to the Caribbean as it is to North America. Many come and stay - witness the affluent suburbs of Coral Gables, arty Coconut Grove and the marvellous Art Deco South Beach district. For movie stars, high rollers and roller-blading college kids, this is their place to hang out in the sun.
