Hello dears ❤️
This is my entry to the Steem Women’s Club contest | Promote your favorite city. At present, I am living with my daughter in the city of Anaco, Anzoátegui, Venezuela, and to be honest, I hardly travel outside the city, it is very rare, and more so in these times of crisis that traveling has become so difficult.
In my life, I have had several opportunities to travel to Caracas, since I have several members of my family residing in that beautiful city, and I can tell you that of all the cities where I have been "Caracas" is my favorite.
Why Caracas?
Since I was little I have been able to travel in the company of my parents to this beautiful city to visit my relatives, especially my aunt Edelys "Sister of my mother", little by little in each trip I have been able to know more about this city, than Despite being one of the most dangerous cities in the world today, it also has a bright side, without the criminal chaos. Actually, I haven't been going for more than a year now. Finally, Caracas is a very favorite city because it is really beautiful, it is surrounded by huge mountains, the people are very nice, there are the best artistic and cultural centers in the country, there is also the Central University of Venezuela (UCV) where I wanted to study. The buildings, the avenues, the shopping centers, the recreational parks, even the air you breathe feels completely different from my hometown.
Before continuing, I invite you to enjoy this old video where we can see the old Caracas before socialism. I thank the author for sharing this video.

Cults, clothes, and festivals
Caracas has a beautiful and rich cultural legacy thanks to the contributions of various indigenous ethnic groups that lived and live in our country.
The national dance of Venezuela is the joropo, the music is always accompanied by the harp, the maracas, and the cuatro. Caracas has an important cultural movement, both musical, plastic, and scenic.
As I was saying before, this city has a number of museums that house various historical and scientific collections, even artistic works. And without a doubt, we cannot miss the best theater and the best musical concerts.
Favorite food.
Thanks to the number of immigrants, Mediterranean food is the most common for Caracas, in the city, there is a wide variety of international restaurants, such as Italian, which I love, who does not love pasta or spaghetti? Or a delicious pastiche or lasagna ?.

Due to a large number of immigrants in the city, not only international if not from other regions of the country, there are many typical dishes, so practically everything is eaten, including arepas, empanadas, pasta, cachapas, black roast, the great Creole pavilion, and many more. That is why it is so difficult to choose a favorite food for a person from Caracas. While for me, pastiche is my favorite food, or also some spaghetti with bolognese, it is difficult to say hehe.
