Today is the start of a new month, and I hope everyone has already done or is about to do their Power Up. But it's also Wednesday, the day for a #WednesdayWalk.
My walk today is actually from last Sunday. The husband invited me to go to a craft brewery in a small village called El Hatillo. I'll leave the visit to the brewery for next Saturday when I have a virtual date to grab some beers on #BeerSaturday with my friend 
El Hatillo is a town within the city that still retains its colonial air. And it is the epicenter of one of the five municipalities of Caracas. I had already talked about it once when I referred to one of its many murals that have given a very vivid touch to a place that is already very colorful.
The place where we went for a beer was very close to the central square of the village. We were at an extension of Comercio street. So at the first chance, we parked our car, we did so to avoid the main car park of the town, which on weekends tends to be quite crowded. This was our view of the street upon parking.
Upon getting out of the car, we saw these white flowers. They seemed begonias to me. But correct me if I'm wrong.
We walk along Comercio street until we reach the corner with Bolivar street.
Then we continue along the steep Bolivar street that leads to the town square.
Until we reached one of the corners of the square, next to which stands the main church of the village, called Iglesia Santa Rosalia de Palermo.
The square is called Plaza Bolivar, as in most of the towns of the country. This is the name given to the main square in honor of our Liberator, Simon Bolivar. The square here is always busting activity.
It is always busy on weekends. In the surrounding streets, besides the church, there is a police station and a bank. There are many shops. Almost all the houses around the square have been turned into cafes, bars, or craft shops.
In one of the streets in front of the square, a man was singing. As we passed by, he was singing the Cuban Trova song Mi Unicornio Azul.
We walked around the square for a while. At another time, we would have eaten something sweet, strawberries and cream or a coffee. But as we came from eating, we only took a look at some shops. And walked back across the square to the street in front of the church.
We continue up Bolivar street.
We pass by a place that always brings back memories of my childhood. When I was a child, El Hatillo was outside the city and it was customary to come for a day getaway on weekends. And it was a must to stop at a large handicraft store called Hansi. The house where it used to still have its name, but the store was moved to a nearby shopping center.
We continue walking until we reach Progreso Street where you can see in the background the white chapel that is the Calvario's Church, a slum attached to the town and located in the foothills of the mountain.
Arriving at Progreso Street, one of the busiest streets, we walked to the small square called Don Manuel Escalona. Where there is a beautiful mural made with plastic waste material and of which I will make a special post. After this, our walk ended, and we went back to the car.
