Yesterday, Saturday 5 January, with my son and friend Christian, went to San Bernardo, capital of the province of Maipo (Metropolitan Region). Founded on February 9, 1821 by Don Eyzaguirre Sunday, has now reached a population of 246,762 inhabitants. Its current mayor is Mrs. Orfelina Bustos.
San Bernardo, among other attractions, has become known for hosting the National Folk Festival
Our trip started from Rancagua Metroten ($ 1,300 each) to run from 12:00 pm and arrived to San Bernardo station at 13:05. Along the way, is with us (in an important section) landscape, most notably the green color, peculiar to farming. Upon arriving at the railway station of San Bernardo, we find a site "clean and neat" with bar, telephone, bathrooms, and parking for vehicles.
However, when planning our trip, we visited the site of the Municipality , to leave the station we were confronted with the typical question: A few blocks away is the Plaza de Armas? The answer, we gave one person, probably plays a role of tourism reporter (covering a kiosk located next to the San Francisco Supermarket)
From Station ... by Covadonga (4 blocks), we find the Plaza. At first glance, the buildings stand out, notably the Cathedral Church (Catholic), the San Francisco supermarket, the provincial government, municipalities and Casa de la Cultura. As in other places in the country, we find a memorial to a character that many admire, Arturo Prat Chacón and one that highlights its founder Don Domingo Eyzaguirre.
First, we visited the cathedral, to thank and commend the visit. Although, this building deserves a separate article, we will try to summarize our impressions and tour saying
According to information from the site of the Diocese , the first church, dating from 1820. At that time housed a maximum capacity of 300 people and served as the headquarters of the parish of the city until 1987, by decree of Pope John Paul II was elevated to Cathedral status of the new diocese of the province of Maipo.
The passage of time, structural deficiencies, and earthquakes took to destroy this old church and the Bishop Don Orozimbo Fuenzalida began building the current church, whose new premises were inaugurated on November 25, 2000. This building has space for 600 people seated and is an example of contemporary architectural reunion with the symbols of Christian art in the architecture and painting. Its construction in a modern style, presents a classic space basilica with three naves, two confessionals, images and cared paintings, art shows through the biblical episodes like "The Nativity", "The Baptism of Jesus," "The Crucifixion "and" Resurrection ", among others.

Viewed
the Cathedral, we headed to lunch at the cafeteria of San Francisco Supermarket, where for $ 1,790 we serve a delicious "Value Menu."
then toured the city center, where we see a wide range of shops ... in the tour, we assault a human need (bathroom), we found the service to return to San Francisco
Supermarket (Plaza de Armas).
In summary, on a hot afternoon, accompanied by beverages (mainly mineral water) we know "something" of a big city, the name Cam St. Bernard of Clairvaux (1090 and 1153), Cistercian Abbot, Doctor of the Church. Born in Burgundy, France. Called "Mellifluous Doctor" (mouth of honey) for his eloquence. Famous for his great love for Virgin Mary. Marian wrote many prayers.

With affection
