Venezuelans from Miranda State (Final Version)
Hi there! I decided to remake the threads of four states (Miranda, Libertador Municipality, Aragua and Carabobo) for the following reason: My first idea was to fill pages with sets of pics of mostly schools, high schools, universities and, if possible, other events. The problem with it, is that too many pics per page becomes tiresome for readers to follow. My initial approach to solve that issue was to post sets of pics only up to the 7th or 8th post of each page, filling with videos the bottom of the page, and additionally to that, no posting more than 20 pics per post. However, as the threads of those four political entities had so many pages (close to 20 or more than 20 pages), there are so many pages filled with pics that it is very likely that many of the schools, high schools, etc., from intermediate pages won't ever be seen by almost anybody (who is going to have the patience to browse the whole thread?). So I realized that the best approach to solve that problem is to post the sets of pics in spoilers. I did that same mistake of posting directly without using spoilers with most other states I have opened threads about so far, but at least most of the threads of those other states have only 4 or 5 pages, and if the first few pages are full of not compressed in spoilers sets of pics, is not that big deal, since most people would see those first pages, so fortunately I rectified on time in those threads, but is kind of too late to do it in the cases of Miranda, Capital District, Aragua and Carabobo. Even if I started from now on posting the new sets of pics that I post in spoilers, many of the other schools and high schools that I already posted (without spoilers) in middle pages like 10, 11, 12, etc., won't ever be seen by nearly anyone.
So what I'm going to do is to remake the threads of those political entities, copying and pasting everything I have posted in there so far, but compressing it in spoilers, and if possible, occupying less pages.
So, for now, I just start coping and pasting since the very first post, with just some few edits...
Location of Miranda state:
Total population of the state: 4 624 343 (2016)
Area: 7,950 km2 (3,070 sq mi)
It limits to the north with the state of La Guaira (formerly Vargas), to the Northwest with the capital district (Libertador Municipality), to the east with the Caribbean sea, to the southeast with Anzoategui state, to the south with Guarico state, and to the west and southwest with Aragua state. The state is named after the Venezuelan leader Francisco de Miranda, who was the first precursor of the Venezuelan independence.
State Flag:
State coat of arms:
The Venezuelan state of Miranda is one of the Venezuelan states with most radical contrasts in its racial composition when comparing some areas of the state with others.
In this relief map of the state:
The black circle demarcates the coastal lowlands of Barlovento. There, the majority of the population is between black and griffe; The area demarcated by the gray circle (to the south) corresponds to the Tuy river valley, and is a mostly triracial /mestizo area with a considerable SSA input, although not that strong like in the Barlovento region; the orange area (to the north) corresponds to the area where the satellite cities of Guarenas and Guatire (of intermediate altitude) are located, plus the poor neighborhood of Petare (in the extreme east of Caracas); And it is an area with many poor neighborhoods but also some middle class areas (in Guarenas and Guatire), with many people between triracial and griffe, but there are also some mestizos, Euro mestizos, etc, (I would say something similar racially to the Valles del Tuy).
In contrast, the area demarcated with the purple circle (to the northwest) corresponds to mostly middle, upper middle and upper class municipalities in eastern Caracas (excluding Petare in the extreme east of the city), where there have always been many people between white and Euro mestizo (like many of middle to upper class people in the Venezuelan soap operas).
And finally, the blue circle (to the very west) demarcates the area known as Los Altos Mirandinos because it is located at a higher altitude than Caracas (1400 meters above the sea level and higher altitudes). This area in the past received a lot of Portuguese immigration, although today, its population is quite varied. In this area are the satellite cities of San Antonio de Los Altos (mostly middle / upper middle class) and Los Teques (varied in social composition). Here is also the German mountain town of El Jarillo
It must be said that the low lands of Barlovento (black circle) is the most sparsely populated area of the Miranda state. The highest population density of this state is found in the western half of it: East of Caracas (into the purple circle, is the area with the highest population density); the area of Petare, Guarenas and Guatire (in orange); the valleys of Tuy (gray circle); and the Altos Mirandinos (blue circle).
In this map of the different municipalities of the state:
-The light blue colored municipalities belong to Barlovento (black circle on map above)
-The orange colored municipalities belong to the Tuy Valley region (grey circle on map above)
-The municipalities of Plaza and Zamora colored in green, whose capitals are Guarenas and Guatire respectively, plus the easternmost parts of Sucre municipality (occupied by the big slum of Petare) correspond to the orange circle in the previous map.
-The also marked in green municipalities of Sucre, Chacao, El Hatillo, and Baruta, encompass the eastern parts of the city of Caracas that belong to Miranda state, except that the easternmost parts of Sucre (favela of Petare), together with the municipalities of Plaza and Zamora, correspond to the orange circle on the map above for my racial considerations, while the rest of that Sucre municipality (westernmost parts of that municipality that are mostly middle to upper class) would be part, along with Chacao, El Hatillo and Baruta, of the purple circle in the map above for my racial considerations.
-And finally, the municipalities colored in pink (Los Salias, Carrizal and Guaicaipuro) correspond to the area known as "Los Altos Mirandinos" (blue circle on map above).
That being said, the population of Miranda state can go from this (in the Barlovento lowlands):
to people like these middle / upper middle class students from the eastern neighborhoods of the Caracas metropolitan area (900-1200 meters above the sea level), located in the state of Miranda (purple circle):
This is in the municipality of Baruta (southeastern Caracas)
This is from a private school in the municipality of El Hatillo (also in the southeastern hills of Caracas)
