Each person with his cross: the cemetery, that of chronic neglect, the neighborhood, the imminent threat ... Beyond La Vega, beyond Antímano Caricuao beyond in the deep south of the capital, is the parish Macarao. Like many of the formerly called "foreign parishes of Caracas, before joining Macarao capital city was a town near which were many farms, including one that belonged to María Antonia Bolívar Palacios y Blanco, the sister of El Libertador. why neighbors say it was the custom of Bolivar, on arriving at Caracas, Macarao camping and rest before making his entry into the city.
Perhaps it is the sword which, together with some checkbook, "walks through Latin America", because at this Bolívar what was left was a "pike" prison ... still is now possible to recognize something of the privileged environment that was once the "Creole Main" and other characters from the colonial mantuanaje Macarao choose as a location to "temper." The historic center of the parish is a discreet height and reach the Plaza Bolivar, the temperature can be up to two degrees lower than in the vicinity of the Metro station Las Adjuntas. A few colonial houses and the front side of the Church may strengthen that perception. But to arrive there very few similarities between the colonial past and this supposedly "revolutionary." For once, behind every stone, every corner, even in the very statue of Bolivar, the first thing you might notice is the footprint relentless abandonment and neglect.
So are the ceilings Macarao Clinic ... FATHER OF THE NATION "O" PRAN "of Tocoron?
Indeed, as if instead of being the Father of the Nation was the "Pran" of Tocorón, in the Plaza Bolivar Macarao the statue of El Libertador in his right hand wielding the sword not liberated five nations pike but a kind of twisted. It is this insult to the memory of national hero the only sign of official neglect. Two blocks from the square, gives pain Macarao Clinic: flaws in the envelope, moisture in the ceilings, peeling walls, clogged pipes and threaten the structural damage is one of very few health centers in the parish.
So the walls are Macarao Dispensary ... also two blocks from the Plaza Bolivar, but in the opposite direction to the direction of the clinic, you can reach the Cemetery Macarao: broken tombs, urns to the weather, a hill full of houses to collapse on the cemetery's northern edge of the cemetery, while the south line of the Angels Creek and continues still embaular accordingly piercing the the cemetery grounds, threatening to take away any flood coffins and bones Guaire navigate, which is a tributary. residents complained that the workers responsible for providing maintenance to the cemetery, which payment and "supervision" are paid by the Libertador Municipality, "the only thing they do is sleep and drink cane on the graves" and claim that administration and management of the cemetery be transferred to local communal councils in the area.
polls open grave and rough in the cemetery of Macarao ... The poor state of roads is a standing insult to the citizens, which fortunately are organized to give more forcefully to claim their rights. So and survives Macarao southwest gate of the Great Caracas.
