"Very nice. Puts you on center of Little Havana. Good drop off location."
"Respectful monument in little Havana. Free to experience. No wait or tickets."
"Educational self-walking tour of Cuban American history and civic heroes important to the community. Chickens everywhere."
"A nice memorial in Little Havana that pays tribute to the Cubans. The surrounding area has a traditional Cuban atmosphere. Unfortunately, cleanliness and maintenance are low."
"The Bay of Pigs Monument to honor a failed military invasion of Cuba undertaken by the CIA sponsored paramilitary group Brigade 2506 on 17 April 1961. A counter revolutionary military group made of Cuban exiles who traveled to the US after Castro's takeover, but also some US military personnel. US President Dwight D Eisenhower, concerned at the direction Castro's government was taking, allocated $13.1 million to the CIA to train and fund the Brigade intended to overthrow the communist government of Fidel Castro, which also included eight CIA-supplied B-26 bombers. The Brigade was defeated within 3 days by the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces, under the direct command of Castro."
