La Quebrada, Venezuela

La Quebrada is the capital of Urdaneta Municipality in the state of Trujillo in Venezuela.

In the past, the primary income of the townspeople came from coffee plantations, but today all farming is dedicated to the cultivation of vegetables, fruits and flowers.

The houses are built in a Spanish colonial style on laderas or sloped lots, very well planned.

Visitors come to participate in the series of local religious festivals during the year, which contribute to the town's lively, colorful feel.

La Quebrada also features various tourist destinations and cultural sites such as the St. Roque Hotel, Nidal de Nubes Hotel, La Posada Hostel, the House of Culture, the Art and Graphic Workshop, the Public Library, the Spanish colonial main church, and the so-called 'La Capilla' where visitors can see the works of the Quebradan painter Ademar Gonzalez.
