I'd been wandering
about the Candelaria all day trying to catch an insight of this
"dangerous" place according to some people; the quarter has always
been considered a "no-go place" due to its high level of robberies
and violent assaults. However, I find it a enchanting place full of colonial
buildings lined up on the highest area of the city and surrounded by extremely
poor neighbourhoods. Since there are few residents in this area, the streets
appear ghostly empty at night. Only the so-called "recicladores"
(people who search in the bins) populate the corners and tiny squares of La
Candelaria.
Juan,
ReplyDeleteThese look terrific. I would like some for our walls!
Alfie misses you.
