Visitando Santa Lucía y la Plaza de La Muñeca, un Guiño a la Estatua de la Libertad // Visiting Santa Lucía and Plaza de La Muñeca, a nod to the Statue of Liberty

Saludos queridos hivers, bienvenidos a mi blog, espero se encuentren bien y tengan un lindo y productivo día. Hoy les quiero compartir mi visita al barrio más emblemático y tradicional de Maracaibo llamado Santa Lucía, ir allí es transportarse a la Maracaibo colonial, su arquitectura es un modelo de los barrios tradicionales de la ciudad del siglo XIX. Una de las características principales de Santa Lucía son sus casas pintadas de vibrantes colores, ventanales y puertas grandes y la cordialidad de su gente, parece que el tiempo se hubiera detenido allí. Visitar Santa Lucía es una parada obligada para todos los turistas que vienen a la ciudad.

Greetings dear hivers, welcome to my blog, I hope you are well and have a nice and productive day. Today I want to share with you my visit to the most emblematic and traditional neighborhood of Maracaibo called Santa Lucía. Going there is like being transported to colonial Maracaibo, its architecture is a model of the traditional neighborhoods of the city of the 19th century. One of the main characteristics of Santa Lucía are its houses painted in vibrant colors, large windows and doors and the friendliness of its people, it seems as if time had stopped there. Visiting Santa Lucía is a must for all tourists who come to the city.

Al atardecer visitar el barrio Santa Lucía es todo un espectáculo, los niños salen a jugar y las señoras se sientan a conversar frente a sus casas mientras disfrutan de la brisa. Santa Lucía es cuna de grandes gaiteros y allí puedes ir a tomarte unas cervezas en una de sus tascas y escuchar conjunto de gaitas en vivo, en especial para la época decembrina.

At dusk, visiting the Santa Lucía neighborhood is quite a spectacle, children come out to play and women sit down to chat in front of their houses while enjoying the breeze. Santa Lucía is the birthplace of great bagpipers and there you can go have a few beers in one of its taverns and listen to a live bagpipe group, especially during the December season.

En el centro del barrio Santa Lucía también encontramos la Plaza de La Muñeca o Plaza de La Libertad, construida en 1910 y en cuyo centro hay un obelisco que tiene al final una escultura que semeja la estatua de La Libertad de Nueva York. Les confieso que no le había prestado atención al obelisco hasta ahora y no había notado la semejanza con la estatua de la libertad.

In the centre of the Santa Lucía neighbourhood we also find the Plaza de La Muñeca or Plaza de La Libertad, built in 1910 and in the centre of which there is an obelisk with a sculpture at the end that resembles the Statue of Liberty in New York. I confess that I had not paid attention to the obelisk until now and had not noticed the similarity with the Statue of Liberty.

Te invito a conocer el barrio Santa Lucía y llevarte en tu corazón un pedacito de Maracaibo y sus costumbres, además de pasar un tarde divertida escuchando gaitas y refrescante con una cerveza bien fría. Hasta acá mi publicación, me despido de ustedes, abrazos hivers.

I invite you to visit the Santa Lucía neighborhood and take a little piece of Maracaibo and its customs with you in your heart, as well as spend a fun afternoon listening to gaitas and refreshing yourself with a cold beer. This concludes my post. I say goodbye to you all, hugs hivers.

Greetings dear hivers, welcome to my blog and to this beautiful community where we can share those outfits that make us feel beautiful and confident. I hope you are well and enjoy a fabulous day doing everything you like.

For this occasion I want to show you a casual and very comfortable outfit that I used to go to the mall with my family. It is a navy blue blouse with a white and beige leaf print that my daughter gave me this Christmas. I combined it with black cargo pants that I already had in my closet and that their color makes them very versatile. This blouse has a small detail on the shoulders, a kind of very pretty fabric that I really liked and gives it a delicate touch. As for footwear, I used beige platform sandals and gold and silver accessories.

I hope you liked my outfit and that it serves as a guide to put together your own outfit with your personal touch. This is the end of my post. I say goodbye to you all. Hugs hivers.
