Hello world travelers! I hope you are exploring new and beautiful places to share with us here.
I was visiting the Santa Lucia parish in Maracaibo, specifically a very emblematic place for the Marabino called since the time of yesteryear: Barrio el Empedrao receives this name because previously most of its streets were made of stones.
Upon entering the sector I found the Santa Lucia Church which has a neoclassical style like most Catholic churches in Venezuela, its color is a light blue that has been faded by rain and sun over the years, with mosaics on its windows and its three doors on the facade that can not miss and some crosses in its pyramidal domes, some bells protrude from one of the towers so that its inhabitants can hear the sound of their chimes every hour, some lamps are around it to illuminate it at night.
On one side of the church I found a cave made with stones to honor the name of the place and inside is a figure of the Virgin of Lourdes with her rosary in one arm and the palms of her hands together as a sign of prayer, in front of the church there is a square with benches to observe the magnitude of its beauty and enjoy the shade of a few other trees that are planted in the same to bring oxygenation to the city.
Walking through the streets of Empedrao I could see different houses full of warm colors with wooden windows and doors, which have been modernized with the passage of time, in some walls of the entrances of one or another house there are plaques with data of great interest as the year they were founded and most famous songs of musical groups that were renowned for the state in the past and currently remembered with great affection on the walls for those who read them, a small stage is located in the heart of the neighborhood for some cultural activities and festivities.
It was my first time touring the Empedrao neighborhood I hope you enjoy this run, it was a pretty exhausting morning because it is quite large and the weather did not help much because there was the characteristic heat of Maracaibo that does not play carts as they say out there, but I left with a sense of well being because I could see for myself part of the history that keeps the parish Santa Lucia and with it make a little trip to the past and to our roots.

¡Hola viajeros del mundo! Espero se encuentren explorando nuevos y hermosos lugares para compartirnos por aca.
Recorrer mi Estado Zulia es parte de los viajes que más disfruto realizar aunque sean cortos y llenos de turismo local llenan mi corazon viajero, estuve visitando la parroquia Santa Lucía en Maracaibo, específicamente un sitio bien emblemático para el Marabino llamado desde la época de antaño: Barrio el Empedrao recibe éste nombre porque anteriormente la mayor parte de sus calles estaban constituidas de piedras.
Al entrar al sector me encontré con la Iglesia Santa Lucía la cuál tiene un estilo neoclasico como la mayoría de las iglesias católicas en Venezuela, su color es un celeste que ha sido desteñido por la lluvia y el sol con el paso de los años, con mosaicos en sus ventanas y sus tres puertas en la fachada que no pueden faltar y unas cruces en sus cúpulas piramidales, unas campanas sobresalen de una de las torres para que sus habitantes puedan escuchar su sonido de sus campanadas a cada hora, algunas lámparas se encuentran alrededor de la misma para iluminarla por las noches.
En un costado de la iglesia me encontré con una cueva realizada con piedras para rendirle honor al nombre del lugar y en su interior se encuentra una figura de la Virgen de Lourdes con su rosario en uno de los brazos y las palmas de sus manos juntas en seña de oración, al frente de la iglesia hay una plaza con banquillos para observar la magnitud de su belleza y disfrutar de la sombra de unos que otro árbol que están plantados en la misma para aportar oxigenación a la ciudad.
Caminando por las calles del Empedrao pude observar distintas casas llenas de colores cálidos con ventanas y puertas de madera, que han sido modernizadas con el paso del tiempo, en algunas paredes de las entradas de una que otra casa hay placas con datos de gran interés como el año en que se fundaron y canciones más sonadas de Grupos Musicales que fueron de renombre para el Estado en el pasado y que actualmente se recuerdan con mucho cariño en los muros para quienes los leen, un pequeño escenario se encuentra en el corazón del barrio para realizar algunas actividades culturales y celebrar festividades.
Era mi primera vez recorriendo el barrio Empedrao espero disfrutasen de este corrido, fue una mañana bastante agotadora porque es bastante grande su extensión y el clima no ayudaba mucho porque había el calor característico de Maracaibo que no juega carritos como dicen por ahí, pero me fuí con una sensación de bienestar porque pude comprobar por mi misma parte de la historia que guarda la parroquia Santa Lucía y con ella hacer un pequeño viaje al pasado y a nuestras raíces.
