Maracaibo 292 years

* Maracaibo turns year today, and continues to suffer!*

This time it will be very little that I will talk about that German who on September 08, 1529, made the *willy may* approached our bay, and they say he was like a speaker, because when he arrived, already the first passion fruit, we were very forondos, eating mandocas, patacón and empanadas, becoming gizzard with chicha and horchata, and when he spoke from their neighborhood, they said Maracaibo.

On this day in our city, it is preferable that you are reminded of tutimundi, because we are passion fruit. Imagine that in the time of when the whole country lived in darkness and were lit with bait candles, it was in Maracaibo that for the first time Venezuelans got into a dull with each other to see the electric light.

*The Maracaibo Electric Light Company, * was the first company, which the government hired to power the city. That night of October 24, 1888, when the first arc lamps were lit, to light up Plaza Bolivar, and its nearest streets, there were bagpipes, danzones and carburia people like rice until dawn.

With Pepa and Billy Queen, there was another city as thriving as ours. When most villages in the rest of the country were riding a cart, everyone here was alebrestao to ride on *El Tram.* In 1884, the company that made possible such a novel means of urban transport, was officially known as *Empresa El Cojo.*

* Tais fresh Alpidio!* the passion fruit of the time told the Central Government, when they found out that Caracas were going to be put phones and Maracaibo did not. For that reason, in January of 1890 the City Council approved a contract with *Nemesio García, * to provide the city with telephones. And they say that in the houses you only heard: * Audio, put me mom on the phone!*

Since when do we passion fruit are the pepa el cheese. That is yet to be discovered, but since 1880 Maracaibo became a shame of people, where modernity arrived in the city like the marullos. In that same year, we became the main export port of coffee, indigo and cocoa.

In 1882, Banco de Maracaibo was founded, then the Banco Caracas and the Banco Comercial. In 1883, the Maracaibo Trams Company was established.* On July 24, 1883, theatro Baralt was inaugurated.* Electric lighting will shine since 1888. On October 24, 1888, the first edition of the magazine “El Zulia Ilustrado” arose.* That same year, the school of Arts and Crafts was created in the current building where the Legislative Council operates.

And since he could not miss rebulicio in 1889, * “La Zulianita” *, the center of the bohemian marabina, was a meeting place for poets, crazy and dreamers, including our great thinker Udón Pérez, who once in a while did babillo with his friends, and from there would be some tumbaranchos into the Main Market.

Maracaibo was the first city in the country, where a film was screened. Filmed on January 28, 1897, by the Trujillo Brothers Duran.* “Girls Bathing in the Lake” was the title of that novel filming and filming, of the magic of cinema recently premiered in the world and seen at the Baralt Theatre.

Here in Maracaibo, as far as Bolívar came to see where it was, that water came into Coco. This was how on August 30, 1821, from the Malecón, we walked very empathyquinao to the Government Collection Office, known as *La Casa Fuerte.* Where is the Central Bank of Venezuela today.

We have always been the most embargo of the ball in the world. And if it were not the case; the Liberator would never have thought of proposing in his Jamaican Charter: * “The New Grenada* will unite with Venezuela, if they come to agree to form a Central Republic, whose capital is Maracaibo”.

That's why with Chinco Ferrer I give me the sandpaper to say: * “You can tell me right now that this is a whim of mine. More than one has already told me that I am a regionalist, no matter I am selfish, I love Zulia very much, when from that lake I hear the splash of marullo my breast is inflated with pride when I know my passion fruit”.* Author: * The city of the sun AMADO!* 🌞⚖🌝
