About Española Way
Inspired by the romantic villages of Spain and France, Española Way was conceived in the 1920s as an artists' colony and continues to exude a distinctive European charm. This pedestrian-friendly street is lined with historic stucco buildings featuring terracotta roofs, open-air cafes, and a lively atmosphere. Originally designed by architects Robert Taylor and N.B.T. Roney, Española Way was envisioned as a bohemian enclave. Throughout its history, it has served as a filming location, a gathering spot for artists, and a popular destination for visitors seeking a taste of European elegance in South Florida. The street maintains its architectural integrity and cultural vibrancy through ongoing preservation efforts. Española Way is located between Washington Avenue and Drexel Avenue in Miami Beach, making it easily accessible from many popular South Beach attractions. It's best experienced by strolling along its pedestrian promenade, exploring the shops, and enjoying a meal or drinks at one of its many outdoor restaurants. Many establishments offer evening entertainment.
