Is Coral Gables / Biltmore worth it for photographers?

Worth itFor photos

For beauty & photography, Coral Gables / Biltmore delivers.

Elegant and atmospheric — tree-lined boulevards, coral-rock buildings, the grand 1926 Biltmore Hotel and its enormous pool, and the Miracle Mile. The catch: it's a spread-out residential area you really need a car for, and its pleasures are slow and architectural rather than headline attractions.
