Colombia, Barranquilla my neighborhood

Colombia is a beautiful country with a big diversity and happiness. We have to many reasons to be proud of 
Our contrasting natural regions, our profuse flora and fauna, the ethnic diversity of our people and the richness of our cultural and artistic patrimony are some of them.
We also recognize ourselves in multiple symbols and icons that identify us in front of the world. They are present in our everyday life, in our celebrations, events and solemn occasions. Their meaning is the pride we feel to be Colombians, our belonging and origin. They state our presence and comfort us in face of adversity. These symbols make up an indivisible unity out of our diversity.
Yellow is a symbol of the country's riches; blue represents the two oceans; red is for the blood spilled by our national heroes.
The music is a very important part of our country also, The cumbia is the traditional Colombian musical genre best known in the world. Its origins date back to Guinean dances. It emerged from musical and cultural syncretism between Indians, Africans and Europeans in the Magdalena delta region.Cumbia combines their contributions. It is performed in groups by couples who dance in a circle to the beat of the drums and gaita music and hold a lit candle in their hands.
Nowadays, vallenato and national pop music are the stars of the world’s musical scene. Colombian music is an always-reinventing melting pot of tendencies and rhythms.

Now talking about my city that is Barranquilla, I like to say that is the most crazy and wild country ever. arranquilla is a unique city that is rich in culture, music, and life. The Centro Histórico of Barranquilla is a nationally protected site by the Ministry of Culture. Some touristic landmarks include:  the Caribbean Cultural Park, the Historic Center of Barranquilla, the Romantic Museum, the San Nicolás de Tolentino Church, the Museum of the Caribbean, the Amira de la Rosa Theater, the San Roque Church, Bocas de Ceniza, Barranquilla's Zoo, Plaza de San Nicolás, and many more.
 Barranquilla is best enjoyed outdoors and its proximity to the coast offers the visitor not only stunning views of the Caribbean from look-out points such as the Salgar Fortress, but also beaches for swimming and surfing such as Puerto Velero, Santa Veronica, Caño Dulce, Sabanilla and Pradomar.  Barranquilla has the largest port in the country. Thanks to the Magdalena river goods form the country can be transported through and from the port of Barranquilla to leave or comein in the country. The port and the surrounding industries provide most employment opportunities in the city.


As a conclusion I can say that I am proud of being Colombian and be part of Barranquilla community, I have love every part of it, love how it has grown and devils during the years, I have love my social life since the people is funny and espontneous, full of light. I have grown loving carnivals, loving the beach and all of the holidays of my country. 


Being part of it makes me blush and makes me soy happy. I’m proud to say I’m part of the best country in the world, a country and city that even in the worst situations always tries to show the best to the rest of the world, a country full o diversity and optimism, a country and city with great values and religious influences, God is a very important in Colombian country.
