Diario de viaje - Uruguay, Colonia del Sacramento y Montevideo (17/10/2012)
Damián Alcázar nos lleva a dar un viaje en el tiempo a través de la enigmática Colonia del Sacramento, ubicada en la costa norte del Río de la Plata, al oeste de Montevideo, Uruguay. A bordo de un Chevrolet Coupé 1938, Damián viaja en compañía de Claudio Cuello, restaurador de autos, para recorrer las calles de la zona y la avenida principal General Flores. También visita el Museo del Automóvil, exposición que reunió autos como un Ford Modelo Anglia 1961, y platica con Jorge Sanguinetti, dueño de un MG Midget TF 1954.
Damián nos lleva por el barrio histórico, declarado Patrimonio de la humanidad en 1995, iniciando por la Plaza de 1811, frente a la Puerta de la Ciudadela, y por la mágica e inigualable Calle de los Suspiros.
En este programa escucharemos el Candombe --una manifestación musical representativa de la cultura uruguaya-- con Perico Carbajal y su grupo de candomberos. Iremos a cabalgar con Mario Cabrera Trujillo para platicar sobre la cultura gaucha y con Pedro Bentancor para preparar un mate, bebida tradicional uruguaya.
Más adelante, Damián visita Montevideo para degustar el tradicional asado en el Mercado del Puerto, además de recorrer diferentes sitios de la ciudad, como la Plaza de la Independencia y La Rambla, donde platica con algunos pescadores. Finalmente, nos encontraremos con la sommelier Adriana Bidegain, quien nos introduce en los placeres y sabores de los vinos uruguayos.

Uruguay officially the Oriental Republic of Uruguay is a country in the southeastern region of South America. It borders Argentina to its west and Brazil to its north and east, with the Río de la Plata (River of Silver) to the south and the Atlantic Ocean to the southeast. Uruguay is home to an estimated 3.44 million people,of whom 1.8 million live in the metropolitan area of its capital and largest city, Montevideo. With an area of approximately 176,000 square kilometers (68,000 sq mi), Uruguay is geographically the second-smallest nation in South America,after Suriname.
Uruguay was inhabited by the Charrúa people for approximately 4,000 years before the Portuguese established Colonia del Sacramento in 1680; Uruguay was colonized by Europeans relatively late compared with neighboring countries. Montevideo was founded as a military stronghold by the Spanish in the early 18th century, signifying the competing claims over the region. Uruguay won its independence between 1811 and 1828, following a four-way struggle between Spain, Portugal, and later Argentina and Brazil. It remained subject to foreign influence and intervention throughout the 19th century, with the military playing a recurring role in domestic politics.
A series of economic crises put an end to a democratic period that had begun in the early 20th century, culminating in a 1973 coup, which established a civic-military dictatorship. The military government persecuted leftists, socialists, and political opponents, resulting in several deaths and numerous instances of torture by the military; the military relinquished power to a civilian government in 1985. Uruguay is today a democratic constitutional republic, with a president who serves as both head of state and head of government.
Uruguay is ranked first in Latin America in democracy, peace, low perception of corruption, e-government,and is first in South America when it comes to press freedom, size of the middle class and prosperity.On a per-capita basis, Uruguay contributes more troops to United Nations peacekeeping missions than any other country.It tops the rank of absence of terrorism, a unique position within South America.

Promo La Fuga de Artigas
El 15 de febrero de 1811 José Gervasio Artigas tomó la decisión profesional más importante de su carrera hasta ese momento. Abandonó la plaza fuerte de Colonia del Sacramento, donde revistaban las tropas realistas españolas, y se pasó al bando revolucionario. Esta deserción convierte ese suceso como el primer paso hacia la Revolución Oriental.
Este 7 de Setiembre se estrena en Colonia LA FUGA DE ARTIGAS

Avance Oficial La Fuga de Artigas
Es con mucho beneplácito presentar el primer avance oficial de nuestro cuarto documental LA FUGA DE ARTIGAS.
En este nuevo proyecto, trataremos de ilustrar un hecho relevante para la historia de nuestro País, transcurrido en el año 1811, precisamente un día como hoy, 15 de febrero.
Desde hoy comenzamos el trayecto que nos llevará al estreno de un nuevo aporte histórico de nuestra bella ciudad, Patrimonio de la Humanidad.
Rodeados de profesionales y actores colonienses, embarcamos en este nuestro cuarto documental, con muchas ganas y como mucha ilusión de dejar bien en alto el trabajo mancomunado de muchas personas que trabajaran en pos de ello.
15 de Febrero de 1811.
Corría el año de gracia de 1811cuando en la oscura noche del 15 de Febrero José Gervasio Artigas abandona la plaza fuerte de Colonia del Sacramento junto al Capitán Rafael Hortiguera, el cura parróco José María Enriquez de la Peña y un grupo de soldados.
Artigas, entonces ocupando el cargo de segundo comandante interino de Colonia, siendo oficial del cuerpo de caballería de Blandengues al servicio de la corona española, decide desertar de las filas realistas y presentar su espada al servicio de la Junta revolucionaria de Mayo en Buenos Aires. Se oponía así al régimen de la regencia, apoyando la causa na defendida por la Junta de Mayo, quién decidió que los designios políticos de las colonias españolas en América debían de ser decididos por los propios ciudadanos de éstas y no por las juntas de regencia que se encontraban en España.
A este hecho la historia lo recuerda como “La fuga de Artigas” y es la primera manifestación política del prócer en oposición a la regencia española. Fernando VII, Rey de España, se encontraba preso por las tropas francesas de Napoleón Bonaparte y ante el vacío generado en América para regir sus destinos, los juntistas optaron por la idea de ser el propio pueblo no quién decidiese para gobernar sus intereses mientras el soberano se encontrara fuera del trono, y no que fuese los consejos de regencia, que desde Europa pretendían imponer sus ideas de gobierno.
Es así que Artigas inició contactos, primero con sus oficiales y su tropa, con referentes locales, preparando el terreno para que cuando las circunstancias le fueran favorables, aprovechar el momento y desertar de las filas españolas. En ambos bandos (juntistas y regencistas) existían nos y europeos indistintamente, los que ayer eran amigos o vecinos, hoy tomaban parte por alguno de estas formas de conducción política que poco a poco los haría de enfrentarse en los campos de batalla.
Uno de los primeros contactos realizados por Artigas fue justamente con un comerciante de origen español quién residía en Colonia del Sacramento, Juan del Águila, quien vivía con su familia en el lugar donde hoy se encuentra el Museo Español. Además poseía un rancho en la zona donde se encontraban las quintas de la ciudad, en la zona que hoy ocupa el Estadio Supicci.
La gota que derramó el vaso, fue un supuesto mal entendido donde las tropas de Artigas fueron acusadas por el gobernador de la plaza, el Brigadier de los Reales Ejércitos de S.M.C. Vicente José de Muesas, de haber tomado unas frutas en forma impropia, recriminándole a Artigas por la conducta improcedente de sus subordinados. Inmediatamente la idea de Artigas de desertar se concretó en las horas de la noche.
Artigas siempre estuvo de acuerdo en que la primera acción del pueblo oriental en armas se dio con el Grito de Asencio, pero sin dudas la primera manifestación política del prócer en oposición al régimen español de la regencia, fue la noche del 15 de febrero de 1811, esa noche comenzó la Revolución Oriental, y comenzó aquí, en Colonia del Sacramento.

Uruguay was inhabited by the Charrúa people for approximately 4000 years before the Portuguese invaded. Portugal established Colonia del Sacramento, one of the oldest European settlements in the country, in 1680. Montevideo was founded as a military stronghold by the Spanish in the early 18th century, signifying the competing claims over the region. Uruguay won its independence between 1811 and 1828, following a four-way struggle between Spain, Portugal, Argentina and Brazil. It remained subject to foreign influence and intervention throughout the 19th century, with the military playing a recurring role in domestic politics until the late 20th century. Modern Uruguay is a democratic constitutional republic, with a president who serves as both head of state and head of government.
Uruguay is ranked first in Latin America in democracy, peace, lack of corruption, quality of living,[7] e-Government,[8] and equally first in South America when it comes to press freedom, size of the middle class, prosperity and security.[7] On a per capita basis, Uruguay contributes more troops to United Nations peacekeeping missions than any other country.[7] It ranks second in the region on economic freedom, income equality, per capita income and inflows of FDI.[7] Uruguay is the third best country on the continent in terms of HDI, GDP growth,[9] innovation and infrastructure.[7] It is regarded as a high income country (top group) by the UN, the only one in Latin America.[8] Uruguay is also the 3rd best ranked in the world in e-Participation.[8] Uruguay is an important global exporter of combed wool, rice, soybeans, frozen beef, malt and milk.[7]
The Economist named Uruguay country of the year in 2013[10] acknowledging the innovative policy of legalizing the production, sale and consumption of cannabis. Same-sex marriage and abortion are also legal, leading Uruguay to be regarded as one of the most liberal nations in the world, and one of the most socially developed, outstanding regionally[11] and performing well globally on personal rights, tolerance and inclusion issues.[12]

Uruguay
Uruguay (Listeni/ˈjʊərəɡwaɪ/;[6] Spanish pronunciation: [uɾuˈɣwai̯]), officially the Oriental Republic of Uruguay (Spanish: República Oriental del Uruguay), is a country in the southeastern region of South America. It borders Argentina to its west and Brazil to its north and east, with the Río de la Plata (River of Silver) to the south and the Atlantic Ocean to the southeast. Uruguay is home to an estimated 3.42 million people,[2] of whom 1.8 million live in the metropolitan area of its capital and largest city, Montevideo. With an area of approximately 176,000 square kilometres (68,000 sq mi), Uruguay is geographically the second-smallest nation in South America,[7] only larger in size than Suriname.
Uruguay was inhabited by the Charrúa people for approximately 4000 years before the Portuguese established Colonia del Sacramento, one of the oldest European settlements in the region, in 1680. Montevideo was founded as a military stronghold by the Spanish in the early 18th century, signifying the competing claims over the region. Uruguay won its independence between 1811 and 1828, following a four-way struggle between Spain, Portugal, Argentina and Brazil. It remained subject to foreign influence and intervention throughout the 19th century, with the military playing a recurring role in domestic politics until the late 20th century. Modern Uruguay is a democratic constitutional republic, with a president who serves as both head of state and head of government.
Uruguay is ranked first in Latin America in democracy, peace, lack of corruption,[8] e-government,[9] and is first in South America when it comes to press freedom, size of the middle class and prosperity.[8] On a per-capita basis, Uruguay contributes more troops to United Nations peace-keeping missions than any other country.[8] It ranks second in the region on economic freedom, income equality, per-capita income and inflows of FDI.[8] Uruguay is the third-best country on the continent in terms of HDI, GDP growth,[10] innovation and infrastructure.[8] It is regarded as a high-income country (top group) by the UN.[9] Uruguay is also the third-best ranked in the world in e-Participation.[9] Uruguay is an important global exporter of combed wool, rice, soybeans, frozen beef, malt and milk.[8] Nearly 95% of Uruguay's electricity comes from renewable energy, mostly hydroelectric facilities and wind parks.[11]
The Economist named Uruguay country of the year in 2013,[12] acknowledging the innovative policy of legalizing the production, sale and consumption of cannabis. Same-sex marriage and abortion are also legal, leading Uruguay to be regarded as one of the most liberal nations in the world, and one of the most socially developed, outstanding regionally,[13] and ranking highly on global measures of personal rights, tolerance, and inclusion issues.

Uruguay i/ˈjʊərəɡway/, officially the Oriental Republic of Uruguay, sometimes the Eastern Republic of Uruguay (Spanish: República Oriental del Uruguay pronounced: [re̞ˈpuβ̞lika o̞ɾje̞n̪ˈt̪al̪ d̪e̞l uɾuˈɰwai̯]), is a country in the southeastern part of South America. It is home to 3.3 million people, of whom 1.8 million live in the capital Montevideo and its metropolitan area. An estimated 88% of the population are of European descent. With an area of approximately 176,000 square kilometres (68,000 sq mi), Uruguay is the second-smallest nation in South America by area, after Suriname.
Colonia del Sacramento, one of the oldest European settlements in the country, was founded by the Portuguese in 1680. Montevideo was founded by the Spanish in the early 18th century as a military stronghold. Uruguay won its independence between 1811--28 following a three-way struggle between the claims of Spain, Argentina and Brazil. It is a democratic constitutional republic, with a president who is both the head of state and the head of government.
Uruguay is one of the most developed countries in South America, with a high GDP per capita and the 48th-highest Human Development Index in the world. It ranks first by human development in Latin America when adjusted for inequality.
Uruguay is also noted for its low levels of corruption, being ranked by Transparency International as the second least corrupt country in Latin America after Chile. Its political and labor conditions are among the freest on the continent. It was the highest rated country in Latin America on Legatum's 2010 Prosperity Index. Reader's Digest ranked Uruguay as the ninth most livable and greenest country in the world, and first in all the Americas. Uruguay is ranked highest in Latin America on the Global Peace Index.
In response to the annexation, the Thirty-Three Orientals, led by Juan Antonio Lavalleja, declared independence on 25 August 1825 supported by the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata (present-day Argentina). This led to the 500 day-long Cisplatine War. Neither side gained the upper hand and in 1828 the Treaty of Montevideo, fostered by the United Kingdom, gave birth to Uruguay as an independent state. The nation's first constitution was adopted on 18 July 1830.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
