| The Southernmost tip of the continental U.S.A., Key West is also
one of its most historic cities with some real estate titles dating back to the Kings of
Spain. Rich in a heritage of buccaneers and pirates, Key West is also a city of balconied
mansions, tin roofed conch houses and tropical flora, where sea breezes stir the fragrance
of the native Frangipani and Jasmine flowers. A favourite haunt of writers and artists, there are plenty of places to visit - the John Audubon House, Hemingway's home, the treasures of the galleon Atocha, and the downtown area with its range of quirky fashion and accessory shops, bookstores and cafes. At sunset the close of the day is celebrated on the Mallory Dock by jugglers, mime artistes and street musicians before the city settles into its night mode. Sidewalk cafes, open-air bars, pubs and gourmet restaurants are the flavour of the night on Key West with a strong theatrical tradition adding to its unique charm. Cosmopolitan, liberal minded and quietly understated, Key West has accommodations to suit every taste and budget - the quality of well known corporate resorts, quaint historic inns, gay-oriented hotels and secluded luxury cottages. |
