In the last month we were lucky enough to attend the inauguration of two iconic works in the history of the north of Cordoba, which we belong, but this no is entirely assumed by authorities and neighbors.
The first of these was the restoration of the Post The Pebbles, located 7 km from San Francisco to Chañar on the Camino Real, the site where it was learned the former Viceroy Liniers, who unsuccessfully tried to set the counter to restore the colonial order which had been altered by the patriot movement.
The other commendable work has been the enhancement of the block on which stands the imposing Shrine of Our Lady of Tulumba and surrounding this beautiful ruin of a chapel, that help us understand the importance of this colonial villa. In the farm buildings were erected multipurpose compliance profiles colonial side in the square and a series of paths and walls where the use of the stone is predominant giving the feeling of visiting a place frozen in time.
The streets have been paved to the old style, with matching sidewalks and lighting consistent implementation of the improvements made. Tulumba
is to go back to the late seventeenth century and early nineteenth centuries, is felt in the midst of history, is the ability to see the characters to describe Carlos Di Fulvio, his songs, is to realize the importance once had at one time and the way of greatness from these works will surely start to move. Both populations
, Tulumba and La Falda, seem distant if we see from the geographical or from strictly compare population, however, both have a number of similarities that we should start looking to realize the diachronic meaning of certain events that are beginning to have their weight in a particular historical moment. Luckily
able to compare different realities, which you apparently have no matches, we allow that "insigth" necessary to find the answers that are sometimes denied to us, whether we head on, just that there a simple reed blinds us the forest.
Indeed, Tulumba was until the early twentieth century "political capital" of northern Córdoba to the extent that the October 3, 1803 the Bourbon monarchy "crown" with the official title of Villa, with the passage of time on their streets were fought over a dispute between supporters of either federal leader in one of its houses was devised conspiracy against Quiroga held in Barranca Yaco. Was this crowded population
the obligatory point of social and political life of the communication with the old Alto Peru, but as fate would have to be the trace of the railway between Dean Funes and Cruz del Eje stay away from it all and thus was slowly stagnating over time invaginates unfortunately for its inhabitants who completed marked by isolation, to be present where it seems to collect the allowance for both historical outrage and suffering, and that the ancestors hardened by nearly a century of suffering people left behind a cruel intact where progress did not pick the place and now with the revaluation Camino Real and the arrangements of his epochal houses are called to be a resort to give back to the region lost its former glory and are able to recover well deserved. Parallel
Skirt had its birth when you sell the first lot of land in the Estancia La Falda and Eden Hotel which is writing the September 12 1914.Pero beyond this point made the link between both processes is undoubtedly the FFCC , as in the case of our city is this way of communication that enables huge contingent of passengers arriving at this and change the pace of life in the quiet hills of Cordoba. Tulumba whereas in the absence of it the country's isolated, but today we move many "truths" of our people unchallenged because to compare the situations we wonder whether the gradual and sustained fall of the skirt was not the result of loss rail rather than the acquisition of the unions of several hotels that were already in decline and that more would soon unable to compete with other more modern facilities.
Tourism social, we estimate that did not mean retreat, but maintaining a source of employment throughout the year and ensuring a flow of visitors who now no parameters are governed by seasonal classics. What produces the impasse in our area is, like it or not, the absence of a vital means of communication, so as to exclude Tulumba, almost a hundred years later did the same with the skirt and see but the most emblematic case of Carlos Paz , by not having a railway track just was not growing and will count on the highway when Pedro Gordillo, but the skirt was left when the train had no connection with serrano and Buenos Aires and when he was unable to build a project that would allow supply this lack. Tulumba
Today is hopeful development in the region to generate the enhancement of the Camino Real, which will entail an international tourist movement and for that we have taken precautions so that this variable can become sustainable and not impact so negative in the area.
As for La Falda and its zone of influence, expectations are put in the way of the Square, which enabled before being fatally wounded and the watershed and Vaquerías Ecological Reserve, some dream of delusions "of A Midsummer Night "in the never-ending flow of international tourism, which to do come in dribs and drabs and not by the highway.
Following our last note we reported that the Train of the Sierras had in his travels to stop people to Cordoba and back, bringing the project's success is undeniable, both as a phenomenon of tourism, such as passenger transport.
Then we wonder if we expect that international tourism will not be a great analogy as that of the expected attack on a Greek sea fortress so well described in the tragedy of that source, because if that's what we hope are evicted because bring a handful of Brazilians for the Tango Festival that lasts a few days is simply delusions of megalomania that can become very expensive, extending the train to our city can be the beginning of a new tourism development, only now and planning through can become sustainable, a situation "that was not in before."
