Walking Among Old Houses
Caracas is an incredible city, but where we find a peculiarity that differentiates it from other capitals and cities of the world, since it is a city that stands out for being in a continuous process of construction and change, where over the years many structures of historical value have been lost to give way to modern and futuristic constructions, This is mainly due to the fact that he goes from Caracas geographically very complex and at the same time quite narrow area, where the flat lands are a privilege and where the mountains try to enclose in a natural way the advance of a city that refuses to stop growing.

Caminando entre Casas Viejas
Caracas es una ciudad increíble, pero en donde encontramos una peculiaridad que la diferencia de otras capitales y ciudades del mundo, puesto que es una urbe que se destaca por estar en un continuo proceso de construcción y cambio, en donde a lo largo de los años muchas estructuras de valor histórico se han perdido para darle paso a construcciones modernas y futuristas, esto se debe principalmente a que él vaya de Caracas zona geográficamente muy compleja y al mismo tiempo bastante angosta, en donde los terrenos planos son un privilegio Y en donde las montañas intentan cercar de forma natural el avance de una ciudad que se niega a dejar de crecer.
Moreover, unlike Bogota, Lima, Buenos Aires or Mexico City, Caracas was never the head of a viceroyalty, therefore, the sumptuous colonial buildings were not so present in the urban landscape of the city, so the historic center of the same apart from being quite small perhaps did not have the same showiness of the aforementioned capitals, That is why little by little those historical vestiges were left behind, making way for an architectural mix that is unique and very distinctive, where large skyscrapers lie a few meters from colonial houses and where asphalt streets intersect with small stone sidewalks.
Además, a diferencia como Bogotá, Lima, Buenos Aires o Ciudad de México, Caracas nunca fue la cabeza de un virreinato, por lo tanto, las construcciones coloniales del tipo suntuoso no estuvieron tan presentes en el panorama urbano de la ciudad, por lo cual, el casco histórico de la misma aparte de ser bastante reducido no contaba quizás con la misma vistosidad de las capitales anteriormente mencionadas, es por ello que poco a poco esos vestigios históricos fueron quedando atrás, abriéndole el paso a una mezcla arquitectónica que resulta única y muy distintiva, en donde grandes rascacielos yacen a pocos metros de casas coloniales y en donde calles asfaltadas se cruzan con pequeñas veredas de piedra.
It is right in the middle of this singular environment that we can find one of the most important houses of the city and that fortunately remains standing to this day, it is the house where the Liberator Simón Bolívar arrived in the world in 1783. Most of this street was preserved in fairly good condition, as they safeguard a high historical value and at the same time an unparalleled artistic wealth, but this time I would enter two of these beautiful buildings the aforementioned house of the liberator and the Bolivarian museum, but not to admire its iconic pieces or its unique furniture, but to enjoy a walk through time that allows me to walk through these corridors and halls that are full of stories, adventures and dreams.
Es justo en medio de este singular ambiente que podemos encontrar una de las casas más importantes de la ciudad y que afortunadamente se mantiene en pie hasta nuestros días, se trata de la casa en donde llegaría el mundo en el año 1783 El Libertador Simón Bolívar. La mayor parte de esta calle se conservó en condiciones bastante buenas, ya que ellas resguardan un alto valor histórico y al mismo tiempo una riqueza artística inigualable, pero en esta oportunidad entraría a dos de estos bellos inmuebles la ya mencionada casa de libertador y el museo bolivariano, pero no para admirar sus icónicas piezas o su inigualable mobiliario, sino para disfrutar de un paseo a través del tiempo que me permita caminar por estos pasillos y salones que están cargados de historias aventuras y sueños
In the midst of such a modern and thriving city it is great to walk through these small corners of the past that seem real portals that take us to other times, we are talking about houses built based on a central courtyard always in the form of a grid, where the tiles the trees, These are perfect examples of Spanish colonial architecture in Venezuelan lands. They are houses that are perfectly adapted to the climate and geographical conditions of the area and, therefore, have managed to remain standing in the midst of a highly seismic area.
En medio de una ciudad tan moderna y pujante es genial poder caminar por esos pequeños rincones del pasado que parecen verdaderos portales que nos trasladan a otros tiempos, hablamos de casas construidas basándose en un patio central siempre en forma de cuadrícula, en donde las tejas los árboles, la madera y la piedra Son características que no pueden faltar, se trata de perfectos ejemplos de la arquitectura colonial española en tierras venezolanas, son casas que se ajustan a la perfección al clima y las condiciones geográficas de la zona y que, por lo tanto, han logrado mantenerse en pie en medio de un área altamente sísmica.
Undoubtedly it is inevitable to feel transported to the colonial era, imagining scenes and situations that could have occurred within those walls, but as if it were a great flash the reality of modern times is always present, since around buildings have dominated the landscape and have changed the perspective appreciated from the balconies and patios of these old houses. When walking in pleasant, nice and cozy places, the steps flow imperceptibly, the photographs are captured naturally and the moment is lived more intensely, filling our soul with joy and our heart with genuine and incomparable happiness.
Sin duda alguna es inevitable sentirse transportado hacia la época colonial, imaginándose escenas y situaciones que dentro de esas paredes pudieron haber ocurrido, pero como si fuera un gran destello la realidad de la época moderna siempre está presente, puesto que alrededor edificios han dominado el paisaje y han cambiado la perspectiva apreciada desde los balcones y patios de estas viejas casas. Cuando se camina en lugares agradables, lindos y acogedores, los pasos fluyen de manera imperceptible, las fotografías son capturadas con naturalidad y el momento se vive de forma más intensa, llenando nuestra alma de alegría y nuestro corazón de una felicidad genuina e incomparable.

That looks like a really cool place. Man people really need to preserve these kinds of sites where people can just walk and possibly go down memory lane. Honestly I wish I could have a walk there as well in the future 😀 Good job on hitting 5772 steps on your very relaxing walk 👍
