Santiago, the city where I live

Hi! I will talk about the city where I live, Santiago. Well, I think that it's a beautiful city, above all in winter, how I love to see the city with the snowy mountains!

Santiago is the main city and capital of Chile. My country is ubicated in the south of South America. The founders were Spanish Conquistadors in 1541. Inicially, the city was founded as crossing point, to rest for the long travel from Peru and stock up on. Concepcion, another city in the south of the country, was the capital, but due to the fire and repeated attacks from Mapuche, the Spanish Conquistadors prefer to establish the capital city in Santiago.

Actually, Santiago has 5.428.590 inhabitants. I think that people from Santiago have low self-esteeme. I am happy living in this city and I usually thinks that it's a beautiful city, but people who live here usually think that Santiago is disordered, ugly, monotonous. Maybe, their lifes are this way, in spite of wonderful economic rates, there are social and cultural problems that affect to many people (long times of travel, tiredness for the work, little time for share with their families...).

I want to be happy in my future too, I want to enjoy my city (or another place where I would live) and to show its beauty. I will share with you some of my photos of Santiago.
