Multi-ethnic Tampa on the Florida peninsula's west coast is a
thriving city where quaint historic neighbourhoods co-exist happily
with sleek skyscrapers, and shrimp boats vie with cruise liners for
space in the busy port. It was the Cuban immigrant community, led
by Vicente Martinez Ybor, who put Tampa on the map when they
introduced the cigar industry in the 1880s and developed Ybor City,
now fully restored to its Latin Quarter elegance and a favourite
neighbourhood for tourists to explore, by day or night.Most visitors to the Tampa area stay in the resorts of St
Petersburg and Clearwater, across Tampa Bay from the city. Most pay
at least one visit to Tampa itself, however, for the exciting
attractions and excellent museums on offer, particularly families
with children in tow. The most popular attraction is the Busch
Gardens entertainment park. Tampa is also within easy reach of
Orlando, site of the world-famous Walt Disney World's theme and
adventure park.
