A literary portrait of one of the most deliberately built cities in America.

In 1925, a citrus farmer's son named George Merrick set out to build a city the way a poem is written. He called it The City Beautiful. A century later, Coral Gables is still standing, still planned, and still working much as it was meant to.

This is a portrait of that city, drawn from the inside by two people who walk its streets every day. It is not a history and not a guidebook. It is an unhurried, affectionate walk through the founding vision, the canopied neighborhoods, the Mediterranean Revival architecture, the landmark buildings, and the small daily rituals of a city most Americans recognize but few truly know.

You will meet Merrick, the founder who wrote his city in advance. You will stand in the Venetian Pool, walk under the Granada and Douglas Entrances, see the Alhambra Water Tower rise above the Granada Golf Course, and arrive at the Biltmore in the hour when the bell tower throws its long shadow. You will hear from the homeowners, the architects, the gardeners, and the preservationists who keep this place exactly as it was meant to be.

Twenty-four original hand-drawn illustrations move through the book in pen and ink and a quiet wash, because Coral Gables was a drawn city before it was a built one.

For anyone who has wondered what it is actually like to live in The City Beautiful, this is the book. For anyone who already does, this is the book about the place you call home.

About the authors. David Ramos founded Gables Sunshine Group, a real estate practice serving Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, and Pinecrest. Jorge Cabal has called Coral Gables home since 1999. Together, they spend their days walking the city and paying close attention to it. This book is the result.
