A warm salt breeze carries the sound of percussion down SW Eighth Street as the group assembles at the Bay of Pigs Monument. Colorful storefronts, hand-painted signs and cigar smoke frame a walk that feels more like moving through an open-air living room than a neighborhood. Guides lead with anecdotes and direction, pausing where music leaks out of backdoors, where domino tables crowd a park, and where the aroma of roasting coffee punctuates the air.
