A tour of the central area of Guanare [ENG/ESP]
A tour of the central area of Guanare [ENG/ESP]
Greetings dear friends, lovers of architecture and design, I hope you are doing well this Saturday weekend.
Today I share with you images that I got on a walk through the central area of the city of Guanare, when we made a tour from the basilica of the Coromoto located a few kilometers from this city.
We arrived at the Plaza Bolivar of Guanare where there are abundant trees and ornamental shrubs that decorate the facilities of the square. A nice fountain with a nice design very decorative but unfortunately without water. There were many people sitting on the benches chatting and enjoying the cool shade of the leafy trees.

Guanare, despite being the capital of the state of Portuguesa, still retains the original characteristics of the tradition of the people, such as the colonial houses of varied colors and a Plaza Bolivar quite nice to sit and talk and wait to be served in the medicine or in the state government.
This is also where tourists arrive first, since it is where the public authorities, the cathedral and other important institutional buildings are concentrated. Normally people go to this square when they need to ask for an address they can't find or simply to rest after a long trip.
Its climate is quite warm, although that day there was a breeze that dissipated the heat a little and when it rains it does it with a lot of force for being a place belonging to the Venezuelan plains.
Around the square you can see the Episcopal Palace, a beautiful building built in the same style as the cathedral of Guanare which is located next to it. It has a white painted façade with colonial windows with its characteristic lattice and stained glass windows. It also has a beautiful balcony above the main entrance. The whole building is in excellent condition, it looks very well preserved.

On another side of the plaza is the governor's office of the state of Portuguesa, housed in a beautiful blue and white building. The building has many tall wooden windows protected by a small metal grill. This building occupies the entire block and is guarded by constant police surveillance. It has beautiful green areas and the luminaries are placed in old lanterns very striking and decorative.

Next to the episcopal palace, the beautiful facade of the cathedral of Guanare rises imposingly, which I already told you about in detail in a previous publication, and beyond it you can see many houses with the colonial style so characteristic of this beautiful place.
Many houses with colorful facades adorn the surroundings of the Bolivar square. The warm colors with which these facades are painted are very attractive and give a very pleasant aspect to this place in the plains.

The surrounding streets are lined with gray cobblestones and the walkways are paved with cobblestones, which make the walks pleasant experiences. All this place has the greenery of nature, because there is a lot of vegetation on the facades of the buildings that adorn the perimeter of the city.

It is a pleasant experience to visit this city and sit for a while under the shade of the trees to contemplate the beautiful urban landscape that gives us this corner of Venezuela.
So far this pleasant journey through the landscapes of my country and I hope to meet you soon.
Blessings.

Un recorrido por el casco central de Guanare
Saludos estimados amigos amantes de la arquitectura y el diseño, espero se encuentren de los mejor en este sábado de fin de semana.
Hoy les comparto imágenes que obtuve en un paseo por el casco central de la ciudad de Guanare, cuando hicimos un recorrido desde la basílica de la Coromoto ubicada a pocos kilómetros de esta ciudad.
Llegamos a la plaza Bolívar de Guanare donde se observan abundantes árboles y arbustos ornamentales que decoran las instalaciones de la plaza. Una linda fuente con un bonito diseño muy decorativo pero lamentablemente sin agua. Había mucha gente sentada en los bancos conversando y disfrutando de la fresca sombra de los frondosos árboles

Guanare a pesar de ser la capital del estado Portuguesa, aun conserva las características originales de la tradición de los pueblos, tales como las casas de tipo colonial de variado colorido y una plaza Bolívar bastante agradable para sentarse a conversar y a esperar a ser atendido en la medicatura o en la gobernación del estado.
También allí es donde los turistas llegan primero, pues es donde se concentran los poderes públicos, la catedral y otras edificaciones de instituciones importantes. Normalmente las personas acuden a esta plaza cuando necesitan preguntar por una dirección que no consiguen o simplemente para descansar del largo viaje.
Su clima es bastante cálido, aunque ese día estaba haciendo mucha brisa que disipaba un poco el calor y cuando llueve lo hace con mucha fuerza por ser un lugar perteneciente a los llanos venezolanos.
A los alrededores de la plaza se puede apreciar el palacio episcopal, una hermosa edificación construida al mismo estilo de la catedral de Guanare que se encuentra a su lado. Tiene una fachada pintada de blanco con ventanas coloniales con su enrejado característico y vitrales de colores. Además presenta un bonito balcón encima de la entrada principal. Toda la edificación está en excelente estado, se ve muy bien conservada.

En otro de los laterales de la plaza está la gobernación del estado Portuguesa, instalada en una edificación de bonito colores blanco y azul. El edificio tiene muchas ventanas altas de madera y protegidas con una pequeña reja metálica. Este edificio ocupa toda la cuadra y está custodiado por constante vigilancia policial. Tiene hermosas áreas verdes y las luminarias están colocadas en antiguos faroles muy llamativos y decorativos.

Al lado del palacio episcopal, se levanta imponente la hermosa fachada de la catedral de Guanare del cual ya les hablé con detalle en un a publicación anterior y mas allá se aprecian muchas viviendas con el estilo colonial tan característico de este hermoso lugar.
Muchas casas con coloridas fachadas engalanan los alrededores de la plaza Bolívar. Llaman mucho la atención esos colores cálidos con que pintan esas fachadas y le dan un aspecto muy agradable a este paraje del llano.

Las calles de los alrededores están revestidas con adoquines de color gris y las caminerias conservan los empedrados, que hacen de las caminatas gratas experiencias. Todo este lugar cuenta con el verdor de la naturaleza, pues existe mucha vegetación en las fachadas de los edificios que adornan el perímetro de la ciudad.

Es una grata experiencia visitar esta ciudad y sentarse un buen rato bajo la sombra de los árboles para contemplar el bonito paisaje urbano que nos brinda este rincón de Venezuela.
Hasta aquí este agradable recorrido por los parajes de mi pais y espero encontrarnos muy pronto.
Bendiciones.

fountain but no water???
maybe if given water it could be used for bathing 😊
There was no water supply. Possibly due to a malfunction. Thank you for stopping by
Guanare's Bolívar Square brings back fond memories. I visited it years ago and loved its colonial style and large trees that refresh the area. It's a busy place with comfortable benches to rest.
Greetings!
Under the shade of the trees it is a very pleasant time. Thanks for stopping by
I knew that the whole area would be very special. Generally, everything around Venezuelan cathedrals is beautiful, with ancient and colonial architecture and a lot of history to discover. Thank you for sharing this. It's like taking a walk with you through those streets 🙏
Certainly when we walk through these cobblestone streets we go back to the time of our liberators and all the history that this involves. Thanks for stopping by and commenting
I have always wanted to visit Guanare, it is a state that calls my attention and the city is very beautiful. Thanks for the tour
The climate is quite warm but you have a good time among the people of the area and the beautiful places it has. Thanks for stopping by
