Barranquilla is a city located in the Atlantic Colombian coast. It is the capital of the Atlantic

department. It has a population over a million people. Its weather is

hot with a temperature that raises the 35 C.

Foundation of Barranquilla dates back to 1629

even if it was only legally established in 1813.

It grew into an important port, serving as a

harbour for immigrants from Europe, Asia and

the Middle East.

That is why its architecture is very rich and beautiful. There you can visit

The Prado Neighborhood. It was designed and built by Mr. Karl C. Parrish

around the 1920s, He along with Mr. Higgings

structured and designed the whole neighborhood in a

sort of American southern style. The houses were

very big and comfortable, and many important

families lived there, such as Mr. William Knox Martin,

an American Pioneer of aviation in Colombia, and

some other important people for the development of

the country

Roble morado is one of the representative trees.It was brought to this city by people from

Europe. It blooms during spring time. Its representative animal is a little bird called

mochuelo

If you come to my city you should bring summer clothes and comfortable shoes because the

weather is very hot sometimes. All touristic sites are within walking distance. You may also want to

visit some shopping malls which are located uptown on the north side of the city.
