Barranquilla

Barranquilla is the capitalof a departament called Atlántico, that is infront of the Caribbean sea that is located in the Atlantic ocean, from that ocean it has got its name.

It is called the golden gate of Colombia(la puerta de oro) because it has one of the most important ports on the country, an in there it was created the second airlane in the world, it was called Scacta in which my great great grandparent worked.

Barranquilla has important places like the park called Sagrado corazón, that is an important park that has an skating, tennis and soccer fields, also there is a man that sells kites for flying there, my grandparents live infront it, the tajamar of the Magdalena river, infront of that place there is bocas de ceniza, in which the river goes through the caribbean sea, and a little town very near to Barranquilla that is called Puerto Colombia because it has an historic port constructedin the colonial epoch.Ilike very much Barranquilla because in there my grandparents live and it has many trees and interesting places, also it has the zoo, it has tities, matie, otters, elephants, lions, birds, fishes, monkeys and many other animals, my aunt works there as a dentist, she has operated otters, monkeys, jaguars and a titie monkey, also she appeared in the local newspaper: El Heraldo.
