A Land of Fair Women in Caracas’s Old Capital
A visitor notes Caracas blends Spanish manners with Venezuelan life in a late 19th or early 20th century travel sketch. The piece contrasts Spanish etiquette, dining customs, and hotel fare, detailing early morning routines, the curious macabre of Uakis, and the heavy use of lard and garlic in local cooking. It also comments on women’s roles and social expectations in Spanish American society.
