My Condo (Macondo) in honor to Gabo.

  "All bound by time in a dimension which is not reality as we would wish it to be, but is created by the needs of the work. For all drama creates bondage, and the actor is only significant to the degree that he is bound." Justine - Alexandria Quartet, Lawrence Durrel.

" ...and that everything written on them was unrepeatable since time inmemorial and forever more, because races condemned to one hundred years of solitude did not have a second opportunity on earth."
One Hundred Years of Solitud- Gabriel Garcia Marquez.


 My Condo is located in the high montains of the Southamerican Andes in the middle of beautiful volcanoes and an exuberating vegetation, the access for that high lands was very tough for the first settlers. The people living in the condo has an heritage of spaniard colonizer and local indian blood; they were categorized as a division of the human group called Paisas.
During the settlement times where the British commenced to build the railroad trough the andean mountains, the Paisas were recognized to be very hard workers and were famous by their particular sense of black humor. For instance, the Paisas adapted the legendary British "Carry all" bag as the today famous "Carriel" which rapidly became a standar for the Paisas everyday clothes.
Off course, My condo had a first class railroad service at that time, but off course the railroad service was dismantled  as soon as the first cars appeared.
Nevertheless , the Paisas figured out how to build a small but good airport in My Condo, inspite the fact to be located in the middle of high mountains, although later on they decided that the small condo needed two airports instead of one and they begun to build another one.
Quite soon the Paisas started to farm the more tasteful coffe in the world , but perhaps guided for the revolucionary spirit, they also commenced to farm another estimulant, the coca.
Later on, their alchemists managed to produce the cocaine and some of the Paisa's businessman decided to flood the world with their magical substance and then, due to this quasi magical movement, The Paisas began to be recognized in the entire world, in a magic realism way they achieved to put their land in the map.
This fact, the trading of two estimulants, coffe and cocaine, one in the legal market and the other one in the illegal market, generated an inevitable duality in the psyche of the Paisas people, not pretending to Freudianise them, but the most significant manifestation of that duality was the emmerging power of the matriarch as the central character that dominated their culture. The matriarch, represented again in a magic realistic way in the form of virgen(sacred mother)&mama pacha(indigenous sacred mother), arised as the real&magic power behind the apparent Paisas lords power.
Therefore, the new culture created to honor, above all to the matriarch manifested as virgin/mother/mama pacha, allowed the generation of a type of amoral but very religious culture framed under the magic realism structure.
The new queen, just had to choose the cadiz instead of the sword to rule the Paisas land and off course my condo included.
When they decided to set up a unique time for my condo and condemned it to be in Monday of February for ever, I just left my condo.
