Mi ciudad natal: Nací en Ciudad Bolívar, Estado Bolívar Venezuela. Es una ciudad con mucho contenido histórico, es pequeña con aproximadamente 407.00 habitantes para 2.015 según Wikipedia, es la capital del Estado Bolívar aunque parece olvidada en el tiempo por los gobernantes, quienes centran su atención en la ciudad vecina Puerto Ordaz que se ha convertido en una ciudad muy moderna.
Ciudad Bolívar, capital del Municipio Heres, es una ciudad bastante calurosa durante todo el año, su temperatura promedio es de 31° C y es en el mes de diciembre que la temperatura refresca un poco, aunque últimamente con los cambios climáticos no se sabe.
La Ciudad cuenta con varios centros de salud públicos y privados, siendo el principal público el Hospital Universitario Ruiz y Páez, lamentablemente la crisis económica del país y el mal manejo de los gobernantes hace que todos los centros de salud pública estén desabastecidos completamente.
En Ciudad Bolívar está La Casa de San Isidro que era una hacienda del Libertador Simón Bolívar, ahora es una casona en el centro de la ciudad en la avenida Táchira y funciona como un museo. También tenemos el Museo Jesús Soto en la Avenida Germania, el casco histórico de la ciudad es considerado patrimonio cultural de Venezuela.
La ciudad tiene al norte el majestuoso Rio Orinoco, que embellece la zona comercial de la ciudad ya que es bordeado por un malecón y es el principal atractivo de turistas y locales.
Ciudad Bolívar es muy acogedora y su gente es muy amable y cordial, siempre serán bienvenidos a conocer nuestra hermosa ciudad.

Hola amiga, me alegra que te haya gustado, mi ciudad es hermosa y el Estado Bolivar tiene muchas maravillas de la naturaleza como La Gran Sabana y sus hermosos paisajes.
Gracias nuevamente amiga.
Thanks for the contest here. @genomil
Hola, gracias, saludos.
Excelente entrada @genomil. Presenté la mía de otra manera pues nacimos en la misma región. 😊 CBO es única como ninguna otra a pesar de la falta de cariñito por parte de las autoridades. Un fuerte abrazo y saludos. #onepercent #affable #venezuela
Many people say that the word Venezuela comes from the Italian city of Venecia because those wooden constructions made out by indigenous over the water, specially in the Maracaibo's lake, although others think that the real origin is because an aboriginal word, "Veneçiuela". In any case, i love the name of my country, not just because I'm coming from here but it brings all the vowels. Not all countries have these five vowels in their nominations. In my living area, there's this famous Orinoco's festival organized in August by state's governor where the Orinoco River always rises in this month and it provides a lot of delicious fish called Sapoara which is prepared in many dishes.
A general contest to choose the queen of this event is also carried out. It could be incredible to say this, but I'm pretty sure I never taste this kind of fish because I think I'm like my grandma: we're both not so fans of fishes from rivers but seas (she born in Sucre's state, a region located in the venezuelan coast).
There's also a known group of singers that I really and always love to hear about, "Serenata Guayanesa", they're from this gorgeous region and their music is very typical and you'll like them once you hear their original songs. They even travelled around the world sharing our cultural heritage, so I can feel so proud of them. 🙂 I attended to a anniversary concert organized by a local radio station and they admitted it was surprising to hear that German kids are learning Spanish with their great songs. My City takes an important part of my country's history because our National Hero, Simon Bolívar, spent few days in the St. Isidro's house, where he wrote his famous Angostura speech to develop his "The Big Colombia" project and then, he pronounced it at the Angostura's Congress, the ancient and historic name of this city.
Definitely, I love it, this city is unique: its historical center is still keeping some colonial houses and has drawn the eyes of many tourists.
Muy bonita y compelta tu presentacion amiga, ya somos varios presentando nuestra hermosa Ciudad. Mucho exito.
Muchas gracias amiga @genomil. Un saludote.
