Nearly 20% of the U.S. population identifies as Hispanic or Latino, and in St. Augustine, this community drives a thriving arts, culinary, and entrepreneurial scene. The city's sustainable tourism model ensures that both residents and visitors benefit from its historic and cultural treasures.
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. - PrAtlas -- As Hispanic Heritage Month approaches, Florida's Historic Coast is highlighting a legacy that is both historic and forward-looking. From Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, visitors can experience how St. Augustine — the nation's oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement — blends its deep Hispanic roots with modern culture, community, and sustainability.
Founded in 1565 by Spanish explorer Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, St. Augustine remains a living testament to Hispanic influence in the United States. Its iconic landmarks — from the Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine and the Castillo de San Marcos to Aviles Street, the oldest platted street in the country — showcase Spanish Colonial architecture and centuries-old city planning that continues to shape the community today.

Culinary experiences round out the celebration, with Latin-inspired restaurants such as the Columbia Restaurant, Asado Life, La Cocina, and Paladar Cuban Eatery showcasing flavors rooted in tradition.
