Bolivians in Valladolid

The community of Bolivia in Valladolid is quite numerous. In addition to cultural associations, football teams, a dance group, also they have their consulate. There are many Bolivians in my neighborhood and with some of them we have a great friendship. Many of them speak in Quechua among them, In their  meetings they love having beers, playing "rayuela" ... On designated days whole community meets and prepare their popular dishes, bolivian music and dance, ...

With the recent coup d'etat, the Bolivian community is worried about their friends and family after the latest violence and insecurity events in Bolivia.

Opinions are divided on the reelection of Evo president, but no one doubts Morales's achievements during the 14 years of his presidency. President Evo Morales  turned one of the poorest South American countries into the one with the highest growth rate in the region, for the benefit of the people and with the consequent reduction of poverty.

I wanted in this post to upload some of the many portraits and sketches that I made to this community.
