Caracas; Concrete jungle

Caracas, a city of 4 million, combines the spirit of the fiesta with modern urban living. Shopping in the city center is a favorite activity for trendy young Caraqueños, while in the outlying hills another reality of Caracas is visible; the large numbers of less fortunate residents who live in cramped barrios.
The rich and the poor, the old and the new, the beautiful and the ugly... Caracas is a city of extremes, which give it an especially dynamic quality.

    Saringuis, where exactly is the shop in your picture? It looks great! I have a friend who lives in Caracas who loves these! She is always saying she doesn't know where to find these sweets, I was wondering if you could give me the location of this place.

    You wrote lines incorrectly. Your reviews are good but once you submit comments on line, I would recommend you chek them twice. It shows detail!

    Nice collection of tips for clubs and restaurants in Caracas, a great club city. You are right about the lines and behavior of patrons at the upper class clubs.
