Many are coming to Harlem, but now it’s time to visit Spanish Harlem via our Spanish Harlem  Walking and Multimedia Bus Tours.  Considered a stronghold of Latino pride, Spanish Harlem evolved from an immigrant enclave to a multi-cultural treasure trove of sights, sounds, tastes and cultural expressions. The heartbeat of the Nuyorican soul, Spanish Harlem is the birthplace of many of Latin music's most favored artists, such as Tito Puente, Eddie & Charlie Palmieri, Ray Barretto and the home of others from international composer Rafael Hernandez to the great Machito.  The popular feminist poet Julia De Burgos lived here while youngblood graffiti artist of chalk on the street verses, James de la Vega has a storefront from where he sells his visual wares.  Come to Spanish Harlem and take a cultural bath.
