Popular site dating back to the time of the colony, famous for being the place where Don Vicente Pino Salas lived, was a Spaniard, who gave a snowy dog to the liberator Simon Bolivar, in its passage through Mucuchies, during the Admirable Campaign, this beautiful animal of noble head and woolly fur, was incorporated into the patriot army along with its keeper the Indian tinjaca.
The Hacienda Moconoque remains preserved over the years, with its colonial architecture, walls of wattle and daub, old tile, brick floor, with two internal courtyards, wooden doors, with an oven with more than 100 years old and is currently used to make bread with the wood of dead trees, It also has a mill with more than 300 years old, which works with a blade that is moved by the water pressure of the Choton or Moconoque River, which in turn is fed by La Escopeta and La Carbonera lagoons, where the wheat is ground to make flour. It has a room where there is a fire which worked with a fraga, where there is also a drawer formerly used to store money.
In a next post we will talk about how it looks like nowadays. Carlos Meza
