Wednesday Walk and Make Me Smile: The historic center of the city Los Teques

Hello dear friends of the Wednesday walk and Make Me Smile,

Today, in the high Mirandinos dawned with some rain, but still, I decided to do the Wednesday walk and smile at life. Interestingly, some people when rain, they say, the day is bad. I usually answer them, that they are wrong, every day they are wonderful in their particularities and you have to enjoy it as much as you can. Of course, obviously the excesses of the weather affect us negatively, so we must prepare as much as we can to deal with them.

So for me, the day was magnificent to photograph under low light conditions the Plaza Bolívar de los Teques and its surroundings. We will see how my Canon camera will behave.

I remember that I mentioned in one of my previous posts about the high Mirandinos, the pattern of organization of the cities inherited from the Spaniards: the main square, the church and the town hall. In Los Teques, capital of Miranda state, it is no exception, but it is necessary to make the measurement, Los Teques, unlike other cities founded by the Spaniards in Venezuela, gradually adopted the pattern, perhaps due to the fierceness and resistance of the aborigines of the region of the time of the conquest, led by the most famous of them, the Casique Guaicaipuro.

The walk actually covered two blocks, between Bolivar Avenue and Ribas Street, which includes a short boulevard for cultural use right next to Saint Felipe Neri Cathedral, which they have called the street of umbrellas.
