Now they do have something going in Florida which is very close to the "Spanish Main"!
From Wikepedia:
The Spanish Main was a name given to the Caribbean coast of the Spanish Empire in mainland Central and South America. From the 16th to the 18th century the Spanish Main was the point of departure for enormous wealth in the form of gold, silver, gems, spices, hardwoods, hides and other treasures. The famous Spanish treasure fleets transported these to Spain. The traffic in treasure made the Spanish Main a haunt of pirates and privateers.
I think the point about a haunt for pirates may hold the proverbial freudian slip!
