El Sentinel's 10th Anniversary Latin Jazz Concert

While researching these events, I also came across some good websites for the Latin community in Central Florida. One is the all-Spanish Orlando en Español, which lists services, classifieds, and other resources for Spanish-speakers in and around Orlando (still under construction it looks like). If you haven't already, check out Hispanosphere, an Orlando Sentinel blog in English about news in the Latin community, as well as the Sentinel's Spanish-language counterpart, El Sentinel.
