Visiting a small town from my childhood: Laguna Brava (Esp/Eng)

Bienvenidos amigos seguidores de esta maravillosa ¨WorldmappinCommunity¨: . Siempre muy feliz de estar con personas que aman los viajes y la aventura. Para los que no me conocen, les comento que vivo en ¨Argentina¨: en una ciudad llamada ¨Corrientes¨: Este es un pueblo encantador lleno de belleza ¨natural¨: y encanto patrimonial.

Welcome, friends and followers of this wonderful "WorldmappinCommunity". I am always very happy to be among people who love travel and adventure. For those who don’t know me, I live in Argentina, in a city called Corrientes. It is a charming town, full of natural beauty and heritage charm.

Hace algunos días tuve la oportunidad de regresar a un lugar que no lo visito desde que tenía 15 años; ha sido maravilloso volver allí antes de cumplir mis 59 años. La verdad es que es un pueblo al que recuerdo con mucho cariño, dado que allí pasé muy bellos momentos de mi adolescencia. Este es un ¨lugar¨: realmente hermoso y tranquilo de vivir; al ser un pueblo pequeño, residen allí un poco más de 4000 habitantes. Para que puedan comprender cómo es el tamaño del barrio, les comento que tiene menos de 50 manzanas y en muchas de ellas hay terrenos libres para habitar.

A few days ago, I had the opportunity to return to a place I hadn’t visited since I was 15; it has been wonderful to go back there before turning 59. In truth, it is a town I remember with great fondness, as I spent some very beautiful moments of my adolescence there. This is a “place”—truly beautiful and peaceful to live in. Being a small town, it is home to just over 4,000 inhabitants. To give you an idea of its scale, the town covers fewer than 50 city blocks, many of which still contain vacant plots available for development.

Esta preciosa ¨localidad¨: tiene la fisonomía de los típicos pueblos del interior, donde no hay mucho paisaje urbano que se destaque, y como sucede en la mayoría de este tipo de localidades, es la ¨plaza¨: . Principal, el mayor atractivo. Este lugar es donde las personas se citan para sus encuentros sociales; esto viene pasando desde que yo era un niño, y nos juntábamos con las personas del barrio para diferentes tipos de actividades.

This lovely town has the character of a typical inland village, lacking any prominent urban landscape; as is the case with most places of this kind, the main town square serves as its greatest attraction. It is a place where people gather for social encounters—a tradition that has continued since I was a child, when we would meet up with neighbors for all sorts of activities.

Como sucede en este tipo de espacio, o, mejor dicho, como sucede en mi provincia en este tipo de espacio, se brinda homenaje a un ¨prócer¨: que haya tenido una misión importante en la historia de la ciudad. Otra cosa que se puede apreciar en este espacio recreativo, además del monumento histórico, es la escultura de un animal que está representado porque en la localidad existe un área donde se brinda protección a los animales ¨autóctonos¨:

As is common in this type of space—or, more precisely, as is the case in my province—a tribute is paid to a “founding figure” who played a significant role in the city’s history. Another feature to be found in this recreational area, alongside the historical monument, is a sculpture of an animal—included because there is a local zone dedicated to the protection of “native” wildlife.

Hay otras dos atracciones importantes que tiene este precioso ¨pueblo¨: uno es la ¨reserva¨: y otro es la pequeña iglesia que está situada frente a la plaza, y se los iré dando a conocer en los próximos posts que haga sobre los hermosos lugares o espacios que tenemos en mi provincia, y vale la pena que los conozcan si llegan hasta esta parte del mundo.

There are two other major attractions in this lovely “village”: one is the “reserve,” and the other is the small church located across from the town square. I will share more about them in future posts covering the beautiful places and spaces we have in my province—all of which are well worth visiting if you ever make it to this part of the world.

Que hermoso lugar para recorrer y más cuando hay recordatorio de los animales del lugar y de la protección hacia ellos, más los personajes importantes de la historia. Que lindo recorrido Luis. Muchas gracias!!

Returning to a place you have not seen since you were fifteen must have brought back so many memories. It is hard to imagine a town with fewer than fifty blocks these days.

Wow 😍 there's something beautiful about quaint small towns. I grew up in the city but wish I too have a hometown to go visit once in a while. 😛 So refreshing to see a lot of open spaces there. The city has its conveniences but nothing beats peace and quiet in one's neighborhood. 😅 An advance happy weekend...
