Christmas in the Downtown

in Wednesday Walk11 days ago


This was a very special trip, and it was totally unexpected. We went out to run an errand in the afternoon and although we were a little tired we decided to walk home. While we were looking at the store windows of some of the stores, the night came and with it came the turning on of the Christmas lights in the historic center of Caracas, the entire city center and the capitol, so we decided to take a little detour and admire what they had done differently this year for the enjoyment of the people.



Este fue un paseo muy especial, y es que fue totalmente inesperado. Salimos a hacer una diligencia en la tarde y aunque estábamos algo cansados decidimos irnos caminando hasta la casa. Mientras veíamos las vitrinas de algunos comercios llegó la noche y con ella el encendido de las luces navideñas del casco histórico de Caracas, todo el centro de la ciudad y el capitolio, así que decidimos desviarnos un poco y admirar qué habían hecho de distinto este año para el disfrute de la gente.



Our tour began at the Plaza El Venezolano, a place very close to home but which we rarely visit. I'm not going to deny it, there were the same Christmas attractions as last year, but my wife and I still enjoyed them, and the idea was to spend a pleasant time admiring the city. There is a big difference, and that is that we have a better camera to take pictures at night than last December, so it was like a good photographic update of an old ride 😅



Nuestro paseo comenzó por la Plaza El Venezolano, un lugar muy cercano a casa pero que frecuentamos pocas veces. No se los voy a negar, estaban las mismas atracciones navideñas del año pasado, pero mi esposa y yo igual las disfrutamos, y es que la idea era pasar un rato ameno admirando la ciudad. Hay una gran diferencia, y es que tenemos una mejor cámara para tomar fotografías en la noche que el Diciembre pasado, así que fue como una buena actualización fotográfica de un viejo paseo 😅



We spent some time in the beautiful street that goes from the corner of San Jacinto to Traposos, where the Museo Casa Natal de Simón Bolívar is located. This small street of stones is always very pleasant for us at any time of the year because they keep it very nice with lights or other attractions and in fact there is always a recording. Just when we were taking pictures there they were going to record something for television, and even this street was an option for my choral group to record one of the Christmas videos, but finally it was discarded.



Estuvimos un rato en la hermosa calle que va desde la esquina San Jacinto a Traposos, donde está ubicado el Museo Casa Natal de Simón Bolívar. Esta pequeña calle de piedras siempre es muy grata para nosotros en cualquier fecha del año porque la mantienen muy bonita con luces u otras atracciones y de hecho siempre hay una grabación. Justo cuando nos tomábamos fotos ahí iban a grabar algo para la televisión, e incluso esta calle fue opción para que mi agrupación coral grabara uno de los videos navideños, pero finalmente se descartó.



The Plaza Bolivar and its surroundings also had the same decoration as last year, but it is always a very attractive place for the people of the area. No matter what time you visit, there are people enjoying its freshness and beauty. Near the statue of Simon Bolivar there is a very tall Christmas tree and most of the trees in the square are decorated with bright lights.



La Plaza Bolívar y sus al rededores también tenía la misma decoración del año pasado, pero siempre es un lugar muy atractivo para la gente de la zona. No importa a qué hora la visites, hay personas disfrutando de su frescura y belleza. Cerca de la estatua de Simón Bolívar hay un árbol de navidad muy alto y la mayoría de los árboles de la plaza están decorados con llamativas luces.



Around Plaza Bolivar there are several emblematic buildings of downtown Caracas, such as the Yellow House, the Museum of Caracas, the Government of the Capital District. The Cathedral of Caracas and the Teatro Principal. We approached the latter and decided to come during the week to see some musical plays that are being given as the Nutcracker and a tribute to the musician Billo Frometa, so soon we will be here a little earlier. Then we went up to the Plaza del Banco Central de Venezuela, but the threat of rain made us finish the walk earlier than planned, we have already been too sick to relapse, but we were left with a little of the Christmas energy of the children playing in these crowded places in the center of the city...



Al rededor de la Plaza Bolívar hay varias edificaciones emblemáticas del centro de Caracas, como la Casa Amarilla, el Museo de Caracas, el Gobierno del Distrito Capital. La Catedral de Caracas y el Teatro Principal. A este último nos acercamos y tomamos la decisión de venir entre semana a unas obras de teatro musicales que se están dando como el Cascanueces y un homenaje al músico Billo Frometa, así que pronto estaremos por aquí un poco más temprano. Luego subimos hasta la Plaza del Banco Central de Venezuela, pero la amenaza de lluvia nos hizo terminar el paseo antes de lo previsto, ya hemos estado muy enfermos como para recaer, pero nos quedamos con un poquito de la energía navideña de los niños que jugaban en estos lugares tan concurridos del centro de la ciudad...



❤️ I saved the best photo for last, this tender cat scene where the mother waits for her children to climb the bush, but she was a bit impatient and in the end came down and took them to a safe area to take shelter from the rain that was beginning to fall ❤️


❤️ Dejé la mejor foto para el final, esta tierna escena gatuna donde la mamá espera que sus hijos trepen el arbusto, pero fue un poco impaciente y al final bajó y se los llevó a una zona segura para refugiarse de la lluvia que comenzaba ❤️

You are very welcome @jesuslnrs! it was well deserved. ☀️

Very nice photos of Christmas lighting. A lot of electricity is used to decorate the area. Good post and amazing photos. :)

Yes, here they love to have everything brightly lit and people enjoy it. Thank you very much for your visit my dear friend, it is great to have your presence here in Wednesday alk as well 🙏

Since electricity is expensive in Norway they are very careful to use electricity and here in India, there is unstable power and no decoration where we live But nearby In Goa, they have good decoration. when see posts like this I am very happy. Thanks for sharing. :)

Wow
This was a beautiful tour actually.
I enjoyed the tour from my screen here on your posts.
The decorations are so beautiful and the environments too.
Nice one here.
