Port of Spain, is the
capital of Trinidad and Tobago. We are
in our Carnival season and thus, I found it fitting to bring you pieces of my
capital as we approach the countdown to the street masquerade next Monday and
Tuesday. I will bring you different
shots of the city in the following days, and climax it with some masqueraders
in the end.
Even though Port of Spain
is our country’s capital, it is the third largest municipality on the island,
after San Fernando (where I reside) and Chaguanas. The population of Port of Spain and its
municipalities is around 128,026. Is is
located on the northwest coast of the island of Trinidad and is part of a
larger conurbation stretching from Chaguaramas in the west to Arima in the
east.
In this photo I am looking
over Mucurapo (the notable cemetery is in the bottom left view of the photo, as
well as all the homes in the flat) towards Chaguaramas. The high rise buildings in the distance are
in West Mooring, and there are the homes of Cocorite to its right on the hill. You cannot see Chaguaramas per say as you
have to pass through many other little villages on the way there.
This is Port of Spain,
taken from Woodbrook!
