Española Way
Española Wy, Miami Beach, FL 33139, USA
Pedestrian lane of pastel Mediterranean-style facades, tiled courtyards and sidewalk cafes.
This guide to Espanola Way in Miami Beach follows developers William Whitman and N.B.T. Roney, who built a fantasy Mediterranean village on a sandbar in the early 1920s as a retreat for the wealthy. It traces how Prohibition turned the block rougher, with Al Capone wintering nearby and his son running with the local crowd, including the founder's own son. Listen for the arched doorways and tiled courtyards as you walk between the cafes.
