Barinas, the Pedanía Named After Venezuela

Curiosity · Abanilla, Oriental, Murcia

This pedanía of Abanilla owes its name to a settler surnamed Alvarado who, after living in the Venezuelan city of Barinas, bought land in the area in the early 19th century, built a house and wrote over the door the name of the American city where he had lived.
