They say that the Earth is the Blue Planet. But after
visiting the most colorful places in the world we are no longer so sure.
Nantun
(Taiwan)
Considered one of the saddest neighborhoods in the entire
Asian continent after the massive arrival of
numerous Chinese ex-combatants, Nantun, in the Taiwanese city of Taichung found
years ago the best way to reinvent itself. After the initiative of an old
man named Yung-Fu to color all the walls and streets of the area, the now known
as Barrio
Arco Iris has become not only one of the
great claims of urban art tourism, but the best proof that a simple idea can
change a certain place forever.
Meenakshi
Temple (India)
In the city of Madurai,
in the state of Tamil Nadu in southern India, there is the
clearest proof of why the Asian subcontinent encompasses some of the most
colorful places in the world. Surrounded by different “gopuram” or
threshold towers that contain numerous colored figures, this temple dedicated
to the Goddess of Fortune houses huge mandalas, motifs and psychedelic columns
inside.
Majorelle
Garden (Morocco)
From the color of the
dyes of the tanneries of Fez to the bazaars and souks of
its main cities, Morocco is one of those countries that distill warmth and
tones on all four sides. But if we have to keep the best example, that is
the Majorelle
garden, one of the great attractions of the
city of Marrakech. Conceived
by the French painter Jacques Majorelle in 1924, this cultural space gathers
trees from all over the planet, vessels of multiple colors or a pavilion whose
intense blue has made it one of the icons of Morocco.
Manarola
(Italy)
The coastal portion
known as Cinque Terre, in the Italian province of La Spezia,
embraces the Ligurian Sea giving away some of the most beautiful
prints in Europe. And it is specifically the town of Manarola, at
the foot of the Apennine Mountains, the place that has become the most
photographed of this dream coast thanks to its various colorful houses
overlooking a delicious traditional port that invites you to get lost in
streets full of boutiques, trattorias and gardens.
Trinidad
(Cuba)
Designated a World
Heritage Site by Unesco , Trinidad is a city located in southern Cuba
whose sugar power activity gave way to a unique colonial jewel. More
than 52 different colors cover the walls of a
destination on whose cobbled streets the children play barefoot football, the
horses hit the puddles with their helmets and the sauce sneaks through their
terraces. Without a doubt, one of the most colorful places in
the world.
Rainbow
Mountain (Peru)
Although a possible
mining exploitation of what is one of Peru's great natural heritages has been
confirmed in recent months, we continue to rely on the endurance of the
wonderful Rainbow Mountain, also known as Vinicunca. An elevation of more
than 5,200 meters not far from the city of Cusco that invites to be visited in
the month of August, a dry season in which its many colors
contrast more than ever with the blue sky.
Which of these most
colorful places in the world would you like to visit?
