Miami is two cities: the South Beach one that visitors see, and the Spanish-speaking one where Miamians live. "Rent a friend in Miami" is the search for the second. The Miami Local Friend guide explains the idea in detail; this page covers the price and how to start.
What a Miami Local Friend is for#
| Plan | Why a local matters |
|---|---|
| Little Havana | A cafecito, dominoes, the Cuban food that isn't on Calle Ocho's tourist stretch |
| Wynwood and Downtown | Weeknights, when it's the city's and not the tourists' |
| The beaches | Where Miamians go instead of South Beach |
| A game | Heat, Dolphins, Inter Miami |
| Spanish | The most Spanish-speaking city in the US, with a native speaker |
