Ybor City A Must While Staying In Tampa Housing

Visit the old Ybor City area while you are in Tampa temporary housing.  This historical district tells the story of the Cuban cigar industry when it came to the US.  This would be what many call the "Latin Quarter".  Ybor City is exotic and full of flavor, sights and sounds.  Enjoy the scent of roasting Cuban coffee in the morning and dance to Latin rhythms at night.  The variety of cuisine includes Spanish, Cuban, Italian, Greek and French.  And authentic tapas and Sangria will remind you of the Mediterranean.  The community was founded in 1886 by Vincente Martinez-Ybor as a cigar manufacturing center, the old red brick buildings are still standing.  The old world charm is a nice break from the beach if you have had your fill.
