Latins 'Saw' Coral Gables Just Last Fall
Coral Gables got a nice splash in the fall edition of the quarterly magazine Estados Unidos (United States). The magazine is edited by Alfredo Jarrin and published by Giltraval Publications. It is distributed by Pan American Airways to 30,000 upper-level families in the Spanish-speaking countries of South America. The double-page spread illustrated the Spanish-Italian architecture in City Hall and the DeSoto Fountain. Venetian Pool was shown with this caption: "the most beautiful swimming hole in the world."
