Due to the syncretism of Cuban religion, businesses based on faith have also felt the need to ‘land’ in Miami, a city and epicenter of the largest community of islanders in ‘El Yuma.’ All this to meet the demand for religious products required by our compatriot believers.
As a result, there are botanicas in Miami where you can find almost anything you need when it comes to Yoruba, Lucumí, Catholic, and other religions. Almost every islander has an image of San Lázaro, La Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre, a rosary, or any other religious symbol in their homes, wallets, and even in their cars.
Without further ado, let’s explore these botanicas in Miami, many of which are focused on the Cuban audience:
