Favorite Carnival Moments!

 I know carnivals of Barranquilla are one of the most important cultural events of the world but this year I prefered to travel to my natal city Cartagena to  share with my family and friends. However, i enjoyed the entire weekend last week in pre carnival, dancing in a comparsa and wearing a costume of monocuco wich is one of the representatives characters of the Carnaval. In this picture you can see how much i enjoyed it! :)

Barranquilla - 2013 Cultural Capital

•  Barranquilla was chosen the cultural capital 2013 because of the amazing culture this city has, the warm of the people, the carnival, the exotic food and traditions.. all those things make Barranquilla an unique place in earth. Also, the international proyection allow Barranquilla to show itself to the world and share all its culture.
• However this recognition doesn't mean Barranquilla will receive any economic benefits but all the advertising the city will have in international medias would put Barranquilla in the eyes of the world and the economic development and  tourism will increase, that means  an important economic incomes.
