LAND OF THE SUN LOVED MY MARACAIBO

Hi my steem friends!
The city of Maracaibo is known as the land of the beloved sun, because of the high temperatures it generates, its burning sun and the warmth of its inhabitants. It is one of the cleanest and best-marked cities in Venezuela, giving an image of a modern city, with large tree-lined avenues, tall buildings and residential neighborhoods.
The Maracaibo area has one of the highest levels of per capita electricity consumption in Latin America, because the architecture that has prevailed in the city since the last 40 years does not adapt to the climatic characteristics of a tropical city. coastal, which leads to the use of large centralized systems of air conditioning to make the enclosed environments pleasant, all this at a huge economic and environmental cost unsustainable over time.
