After spending 7 months in my hometown I got the chance to rediscover my own city after so long being away from it (almost nine years). In my quest I found great new fashion designers, enjoyed the best rock music, (re)visited amazing art places and ate d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s food.
FASHION DESIGNERS
In order: Alejandro Ramirez, Patricia Fumo, Constanza Oquendo, Daniela Panaro - No Pise La Grama
MUSIC
- La Vida Boheme: F*cking powerful band on stage always dressed in clothes with splattered paint, some of their songs had been categorized as "disco-punk-latino" but whatever they play, they are awesome!
- Viniloversus: my favorites from Venezuela, this is an indie rock band that blends style from earlier years (played in vinyl records) with today's upbeat rhythms...and the vocalist is sooo handsome!
SHOPS
In order: La escondida, Iskia. Both with great product as accesories, furniture ande design object.
Other: Aprilis. Beautiful boutique with venezuelan fashion brands.
FOOD&DRINKS
In order:
Suka Bar, great bar with nice electronic music and good drinks
Catar and Mokambo: delicious mediterranean food with colorful cute decoration.
La Praline: first Chocolaterie completely made with 100% venezuelan cocoa.
Other:
- Cafe St. Honore: one great reason: Nutella Sfogliatella.
Kakao: other chocolaterie with 100% venezuelan cocoa.
ARTS
In order:
- Galeria de Arte Nacional: best of the best of venezuelan plastic arts. Great Cruz Diez (father of op art) master pieces.
- Centro de Arte Los Galpones: beautiful house with galleries exposing international expos of contemporary art, two incredible shops and a library.
- Teatro Teresa Carreño: second most important teather in South America after Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires. This is a cultural complex where symphonic concerts, opera, ballet and plays are perfomed. It has an extraordinary decoration in its whole architecture with fine pieces of artwork.
Thanks for your tips... i'm just arriving at Caracas but I will stay here for 3 years!
