Florida

America's top vaycay state is best known for its beach resorts and theme parks. But besides the ersatz thrills of Orlando, the nightlife of South Beach, and the well-marketed Victoriana of Key West and Amelia Island, quiet hideaways abound as well.

Dave Barry: If you're a Super Bowl tourist, Do NOT go outside

By Dave Barry

Dear Super Bowl Visitor:

Welcome to Miami! Get ready for a fun Super Bowl week, because you're going to see some serious partying ``Miami Style'' -- people eating, drinking, singing, shouting, fighting, discharging firearms, sacrificing animals, sinking motor yachts and dancing naked around burning buses. And those are our police officers.

Keep reading...

Freezing tonight in South Florida (going down to 32 F or 0 C)! So what's the logical thing to do? Go stand outdoors in line for churros! It's a real local Latin kind of thing, where else would you find a churro cart?

Hey, it's not quite the same as churros on a cold night in Madrid at Chocolatería San Ginés, but... when the smell of fried dough and chocolate hit my nose as I walked out of BB&B, I couldn't resist!

A sample of the late-afternoon Halloween scene on South Beach's famed Lincoln Road pedestrian mall. Lots of cute toddlers, ripped bods, and everyone's favorite, dogs in costume!

Video shot and edited on the amazingly simple FLIP, available in the Tripatini Boutique!

Eliseo Parra and Rosalia Roio in Concert!
Música tradicional española/Folk Music
Info: Tel. 305 448 9677 email: info@ccemiami.org

Eliseo Parra is one Spain's leading performers and researchers of folk music. He has traveled to small villages to rediscover old songs, musical instruments and learned how to play some instruments in the traditional style. He reconstructs folk music by adding modern elements. His background may seem surprising to some. He began as a rock musician and afterwards became interested in jazz and Caribbean rhythms. Eventually, he ended up rediscovering Spanish folk music.

Rosalia Roio, Guitar player, songwriter, composer and vocalist, a truly original musician. With a fabulous energy and singular mastery of her instrument, able to un-earth the ancient popular music of her native Spain and embody it in an astonishing performance full of passion and mastery. Rosalia's music is an inspired encounter of beauty, guts and virtuosity. Though educated with some of the bests musicians in the world, Rosalía's songs reveal a truly un-affected, creative and brave artist who has become a cult musician for an international audience. Her music is a fusion of traditional Spanish Folk music that has been largely forgotten. The adaptations combine this folk heritage, which is not derived from Flamenco, with jazz and Latin colors. She has taken many sources and created a new musical vision enriched by her virtuosity guitar technique.
