Barranquilla is a modern, industrial city, with approximately 1,700,000 inhabitants.
The city is also known as "La Arenosa" (The Sandy One), alluding to the fine sand occasionally present in the air, due to its proximity to the Caribbean beaches.
The city's topographical layout is simple: to the east, it's bordered by the Magdalena river; to the west, it's bordered by a bypass called Circunvalar. The city grid is divided in the typical Colombian way: calles (streets, going from north to south) and carreras (avenues, going from east to west). Downtown is located near the river, on the eastern edge of town. The two main axes of the city are Olaya Herrera Avenue, which goes from downtown to the western edge of town, becoming the highway to nearby Cartagena de Indias, and Murillo Street, which goes from the southern, working-class neighborhoods to the city's downtown. Upper-class and middle-class neighborhoods are to the west and north of the city.

[edit] December in Barranquilla Starting in November (at times, as early as October), the city prepares for the end of the year festivities. Christmas (Navidad in Spanish) is not only a holy and special day but an entire season that goes from December 1st until January 6th. The city is filled with multicolored lights and most of houses are adorned with beautiful Christmas decorations being the Nativity the theme of the season, and the whole city is transform, not just with lights but the with joy and parties almost every weekend! The festive atmosphere floods the city and this is also reflected in the music played by radio stations, which is mostly related to the Christmas season. During this time of the year, the weather in the city is usually characterized as sunny and windy. The most special celebrations dates are the Eve of December 7th (as important as Christmas), this festivity marks the "official" start of the "Navidad" (Christmas) season. On the night before the celebration of the Immaculate Conception (God's choice of Mary, a virgin, to give birth to His Son Jesus, which conception was immaculate -no man involved- a miracle through God's Holy Spirit); usually there are more that one party that in you will be invited... A couple of hours before the sunrise of December 8th (Immaculate Conception Day), Barranquilla's citizens salute the Virgin Mary for her miracle conception by lighting their houses' porches with multicolored candles and lanterns. It is a beautiful event called "Las Velitas" (Spanish for "The Little Candles"), thousand of lighted candles could be seen in every street of the city.
Another important celebration on December goes from the 16th to the 24th, which is "La Novena del Niño Dios", which is the acknowledgement of the birth of Jesus, family and neighbors go around of the Nativity scene that could be beautifully made inside the home, a porch or even a park on the block, some people will also gather to do the "Novena" in the churches. The festivity usually start with some prayers, follow by a reading part of the Bible scriptures that tells the story of Jesus birth, then a prayer with a singing chorus and finalizing with Christmas choral; this is held every night for nine nights ending on Christmas' Eve with the giving of gifts to the children who participated on the 9 nights, and also traditional Christmas snacks are shared during this nine nights. [(http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/2725/novena.html)]
Another important day is on December 28th, which is called "Dia de los Santos Inocentes" (Day of the Holy Innocents) is like the "Fools Day" in the United States, Barranquilleros are very creative on playing jokes, so you need to be alert and on guard for all kind of jokes that will be done to you at any if not all the 24 hours of that day. And may you have fun with jokes to others as well.
The most important days of December are Christmas' Eve and "Dia de Navidad" (Christmas day), it literally celebrates the birth of the Son of God, Jesus Christ; these days are very family oriented days, on Christmas Eve a great dinner is prepared, usually held at the oldest family member's home, the delicious meal has a lot of traditional food to choose from, great and loud music is also part of the festivity because the party start as soon as the dinner time ends (but not the food), in some families gifts are placed at the Nativity and open at midnight but traditionally the gifts have been hidden and only "found" at the Nativity in the morning of the Christmas day and the belief is that the Child God (el Niño Dios) is the One who brings the presents not Santa or St. Nicholas like other nations traditionally believe. On Christmas day you will see almost all the porches of the houses full of children playing with their new toys and outfits, in some and not rare cases the party has not finished from the night before, usually a "Sancocho" (a traditional soup) is prepared for lunch, which is great for the "hang overs".
Another important day is New Year's Eve. Another party goes on and it is tradition that every neighborhood burns a doll, representing the old year that ends with all the problems occurred during that year. It also familiar to see a baby doll being passed around representing the new year. Barranquilleros are very friendly all year around but at midnight do not be surprised to be hugged by smiling and happy strangers wishing you "¡¡Feliz Año!!" (Happy New Year!!), and it won't be strange to see some people walking around the block with suitcases because it is the popular believe that by doing that they will travel in the new year! Barranquilla will looks like a ghost town on New Year's Day, you will normally see people around in the afternoon or night time just because the party from the night before ended on that late on that first morning of the year.
The end of the Christmas season is on January 6th, on the Epiphany of Our Lord (Epiphany means 'manifestation', so this day is the commemoration on which the divinity of Jesus was manifested.)
