The Museo Casa de Bolivar is situated in a beautiful colonial mansion and the exhibitions are in the rooms around two patios. In this house Simon Bolivar stayed for two months in 1828 and therefore some of the items displayed are things used by Simon Bolivar. There are furniture, documents and other historical things from both the colonial time and the independence. There is also an exhibition with things of the Guane Indins, who inhabited the area before the Spaniards arrived. From the Guane Indians there are pottery, weapons mummies and many textiles.
The entrance fee was 1000 pesos (July 2007).
The museum is open 8 - 12, 14 - 18 Monday - Friday and 8 - 12 Saturday. Leave a Comment Address: Calle 37 No 12 - 15Phone: 7 - 630 4258

Just across the road from the Museo Casa de Bolivar is Casa de la Cultura. This is another very beautiful building from the colonial time with art exhibitions in two floors. When I visited there were children having lessons in both painting and music. It was very nice walking around listening to the music and admire the architecture.

The colonial center of barrio Giron is beautiful and well preserved, even though its cobblestones make it difficult to walk. The whitewashed colonial buildings are set against beautiful mountains. The place is full of tourists from Bucaramanga on weekends. I have not seen any airconditioned restaurants here, but there are plenty of places to get food or a beverage. The municipality outside of the colonial area is overall a rather depressed and poor area. Leave a Comment

IN MY OPINION GIRON IS A BEAUTIFUL TOWN COLONIAL THE IMPORTANT DATA ABOUT THE TOWN IS THE ARCHITECHTURE BALCOMS VERY ROMANTICS,THE CHUCH, WITH PERSONS VERY FRIENDLY ,NOT AIR FRESH IN THE DAY NOT AIR CONDITIONAL SOMETIMES BECAUSE WE LOVE THE EMVIROMENT AND OUR BODIES CAN STAY CONFORTABLE WITH THE WEATHER CONDITION THE RUSSIAN GUY ONLY SAW THE STUPID THINGS ABOUT THE AREA,FOR EXAMPLE HE CAN PAY A BETTER HOTEL, HE DONT LIKE TO READ HISTORY HE LOOKS LIKE A DESESPERATE HOUSE WIFE DONT LIKE THE ADVENTURE AND HE DONT KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE RASTING ABOUT THE SPORTS AND NOTHING ONLY FOOD HE IS LOST.

The center is a rather unhappy place without anything worthwhile to see. The only exception is la Catedral de la Sagrada Familia, which is a tastefully modest white building with a statue of Jesus, Mary and Joseph on the roof. Leave a Comment

There is a town near to Bucaramanga called Floridablanca (20 minutes by car) that is very famous for produce one particular desert:"OBLEA"
A "OBLEA" is a kind of cookie very flighty, thin and withouth flavor.
