Top Architecture in Florida

I recommend bringing a light jacket if you're planning to sit outside. The breeze off the water can get chilly, especially around sunset.

My advice is to check out the happy hour deals at the restaurants. I snagged some great tapas and drinks for way less than I thought I'd spend

If you want to grab some unique souvenirs, head to the little market stalls on the north end. I found some awesome handmade crafts that you don't see in typical stores.

I suggest wearing comfy shoes because you'll want to walk around and really take in all the stunning details without getting tired. I learned this the hard way!

Check out the tiles with the artists' names – it's super cool to see who has made an impact in Latin music. I had a great time snapping pics for my friends. Don't rush it, take your time here.

I suggest grabbing a snack at one of the local cafes nearby, like La Carreta. The food is delicious, and it's a great way to take a break from walking around

I suggest visiting on a Sunday morning around 10 AM. The atmosphere is beautiful with the chanting, and you can avoid the crowds who come for lunch later.

I'd recommend exploring the grounds thoroughly. There are hidden spots around the abbey that aren't well marked but are totally worth it for some great pics and peace.

Bring a water bottle! It's easy to get thirsty walking around and staying hydrated makes the tour even more enjoyable. I forgot mine and kinda regretted it.
