¡Bienvenidos! / ¡Welcome!

It is a pleasure to share with you today a small space of my city Maracaibo. Recently we were in the Plaza del Buen Maestro where I took some beautiful photos where you could see Lake Maracaibo and not only that we were satisfied with but we also walked around the emblematic Parque La Marina as night fell. And if you are in another country you will wonder exactly where it is located? and why is it called that? Well, I invite you to continue reading this content.

This wonderful place that those of us who live on this earth can enjoy is located in Maracaibo, Zulia state, Venezuela; exactly at the end of Avenida 4, Bella Vista, with Avenida 2, El Milagro. Due to the Naval Battle of the Lake, this episode or historical event is commemorated in this space that takes us back a little to ancient history. It was inaugurated on July 24, 1973 in commemoration of the 150 years of this event.

Walking through this park, you can see two large walls covered in black marble in the middle of the route. It is a space where family and friends can spend a pleasant time walking around the place, where you can see many people taking walks as a way of exercising and taking care of their health. A recreational place for everyone! If you visit Maracaibo you have to stop by this place.

In the middle of our tour we took the opportunity to take photos in a kind of boat surrounded by fountains that is located in the place and that impressed and pleased my girls who saw it for the first time, even though the fountain was not working to sprout water and the water it had was already somewhat stagnant. But despite that, we did not stop posing in the photographic lens and taking advantage of the walk with my brother Leo who accompanied us.

There we also find the striking "Torre-Mirador" or Mirador del Lago; which is also part of the attractions and tourism of my region. Its great attraction lies in being a colossal skyscraper, and from the heights you can see almost the entire city, it is 60 meters high and has a 360º view. Quite a lot! So, if you are one of those people who does not like heights and is afraid of them, you can appreciate it from the outside without entering this viewpoint that has a fabulous place where you can taste rich and delicious dishes of our gastronomy and more in a large room. A tourist and iconic climb of the city that leaves a great panoramic experience.

Already finishing our night tour in La Marina Park, my little girls played in a small area specially for children there and we took advantage of the opportunity to capture the last photographic shots to close our day, which since the afternoon we were on the adventure of touring all the surroundings and contemplating the wonderful landscape; as a song says, a gaita from our region: It is Maracaibo, Maracaibo is something else, he who lives in it knows it, the absent one who yearns for it and he who arrives here stays, because this land is beautiful...

This is just a small part of my land of Zulia, I hope to be able to share more of it with you soon. A region with a wonderful sun, for a reason we are "The land of the beloved sun", because of the way it manifests itself with great power, in a way that is often harsh, but despite all that, those of us who live in it love it, as well as our imposing, wide and deep lake. A region full of delicacies, human warmth, joy and color. I say goodbye to each one of you with much love, until the next opportunity friends.
