Part
Having survived-barely-to the early start and the tour of the Gorge of the Crows, Laura, Monica, rojito and I have been to see the city of Treinta y Tres. Bah, the rojito or moved from La Posada , what lie.
If you really want to know a place, you have to make contact with locals , the theme was that the receptionist at the inn could not understand that we did not interest in going to river.
Go to the river could mean anywhere, just that, go to the banks of a gushing stream of water, in this case, Olimar, "but in Thirty-Three and Week Tourism means going to the Festival of Olimar, a major festival of folklore and popular music that draws thousands of people every year. As ours was the "adventure", nor have we ever thought you going to spend hours and hours in the middle of a large crowd cheering. So we went looking for a local guide, we find in the corner of our property.
The villager, who had the courtesy to interrupt his nap on the trail of carnage, he immediately put at our disposal, in exchange for some pampering undertook a "caminatur" with us for the major attractions of the city.
As a starting point, we turn to the main square, in this case, the Plaza on April 19 in tribute to the Graceful Landing conducted by the 33 East on 19 April 1825 (Sure! not going to be 27 October!) The square, heavily wooded, is a principal building architect Geille Castro.
The monument is quite peculiar, because seen from the front is just easy to understand ... but seen from the side, it captures all of the work, which leads the slogan "Freedom or Death", the motto of the 33 East.
is that viewed from the front, just read the names of the 33
East and the letter "O"!
East and the letter "O"!
course, when one gets closer, check that the 33 East was ... 21!
But some were replaced by Eastern ...
... that recorded his name in indelible ink on the marble.
As befits all cities in this part of the world, next to the plaza is the Cathedral, in this case, a very modern work could not visit it was closed (At Easter!). Neither found data about the opening date or the architect.
Pigeons appreciate modern architecture
Also next to the plaza is the careful building of the Police Headquarters.
And also cute Municipality building.
We appreciate the local architecture, when there was a particular phenomenon in the square began to fly pigeons in circles ... Dozens of pigeons were preparing to sleep, and before that put together a festival of aerobatics:
We left the square and its pigeons rotating, and began to walk other streets in the city.
One of the things that struck us was the double numbering of the houses
As anyone can see, the new numbering is that of rusty four-digit plates, while the old is the three-digit enameled sheet, there is no case, plates were before.
In this house, who knows a reason why, did not keep the previous sheet, but faithful to the old number, and solved it:
Going to the obelisk, we ran pajareril another phenomenon: a single tree, located in a banana and Andrés Manuel Meléndez Areguati, gathered hundreds of birds, making a fuss that, above the engine noise of cars and motorcycles.
We arrived at the Obelisk erected in tribute the founders of the city.
A nymph symbolizing the river Olimar.
No, not Brasilia, is Thirty-Three, just.
In one corner I could fulfill my desire to own tractor.
After the tour, we went to dinner and an ice cream parlor in a curious where the customer is served and the number of flavors of ice cream you want, then a very kind lady and it weighs charges.
the way back, we find another church
Undoubtedly, the ecclesiastical architecture of Thirty-Three is the most original.
Back to the inn to sleep the next day we would go to The Charqueada.
But that's another story.
