The grafitti on the walls started as political messages during the Pinoche regime. After the fascists fall in 90, the grafitti more or less turned into street art and today it has become the city's hallmark. At my left side is a painting of a big green toad. The toad is an imagination of one of Pinoche's spies.
This is the Yoguslavian castle. A rich Yoguslavian lord was passing through here 100 years ago, he fell in love with the castle and bought it. Today the castle has been turned into an art museum. The art exhibition is pretty dull but the Castle is worth a visit because of its extraordinary arcitecture and internal woodworking.
There are two cementaries in town. The cementery number 1 is for catholics and number 2 for protestants. The rulers in town did this to avoid dispute between the members of the two religious communities. 🙄🙄🙄
At Casa La Sebastiana, Pablo Neruda , one of the world's most recognized poets, lived and worked. He also had and still has a house in Santiago and one in Isla de Negra outside the Pasific Coast.
This is his work room.
Pablo Neruda died in 1973, three weeks after Pinoche took the power in Chile.
You know how this is:
SvarSlettif I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists:
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me
