Jose Martí Park

Did you know you can visit Cuban soil in Tampa? 🇨🇺 Jose Martí Park is a hidden gem in Ybor City that contains soil from each of the Cuban provinces. In the 1950s, the City of Tampa gifted the park to Cuba to honor Jose Martí (the champion of Cuba’s independence) and celebrate Tampa’s Cuban ties.
