COLOMBIA/BARRANQUILLA/MY NEIGHBORHOOD

Today in this essay I am going to talk about three things. These things are my country Colombia , where I am currently living being the city of Barranquilla and last but not least my neighborhood. I like when I have to talk or write about my country or city because it helps me expand my knowledge of where I live and every time I find very interesting things. That make proud of being Colombian and barranquillera one hundred percent at heart.

Colombia , officially known as Republica de Colombia ,is a country located in South America , it is a very rich country in Many ways. We have a lot of minerals , a whole lot of ethnicities ,  we have a very historical story and a very diverse and happy culture. We are a democratic country that really takes into account the voice of the population. We are a multicultural country and a multilingual country , spanish is the oficial language of the country , but the political constitution also protects and use the original language of the tribe or ethnicity depending on the territory. Colombia is country located in the tropic with costs with the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean , we also have a great variety of climates and diverse landscapes , thanks to the six completely different region that conform our country. These regions are Amazónica , Caribe, where I live, Orinoquía , Andina and the Insular. Thanks to these regions , Colombia is a very rich country in vegetation and wildlife. Colombia is also a very touristic country , if you are interested in history , vegetation , animals , beaches and a lot more.  Colombia is a great place for all of that. We have 32 departments which are run by a governor and each city is run by a mayor and all the country’s ruling depends on the president. So all tose mayors and governors have to go to a process of election just as the president , but they have a lot of less power and they have to present everything they do to be seen by the mayor government league. The last fact that I am going to give is that Colombia is also a very festive country , each department has it’s own festivity and that is what makes it all great of Colombia. That there are so many traditions and culture within that create one whole that is the country in general. I am really happy of being Colombian.

Barranquilla is the capital of the Atlantico , which is the capital of the region Caribe. Barranquilla is a Avery important city thanks to it’s geographical location. Barranquilla is connected to one of the most important if not the most important rivers of Colombia , El Rio Magdalena, and it is also very important because of the proximity the city borders have to the Caribbean sea. At the beginning Barranquilla was absolutely nothing it was something like a community of 200 people living near the river in a urban space , the people of before were characterize as very artesian and merchant people. Throughout history Barranquilla went from nothing to the capital of the Atlanticó. Barranquilla is also known as the golden gate of Colombia thanks to proximity to the sea and river and also because of it’s mayor development in the economic and cultural area. Barranquilla is a pretty amazing city filled with happiness and culture , recently barranquilla went through a lot of changes thanks to the mayor Alex Char that renewed a lot of important places and created really pretty new one to become even a much better city , and become an example to the other cities in Colombia.



My neighborhood , I live in a apartment complex in Altos de Rimar in the Northern part of barranquilla , there are a lot of different neighborhoods near by , but I think mine is the best because is close to everything , is very calm , there is no loud parties or rude neighbors and we have a pretty big green space that is el boulevard de Buenavista . I really love where I live and compare to a lot of neighborhoods mine is one of the most calm and more secure one
