Joyina nathi ukuthola lo mqondo omusha wendawo yokuhlala, ohlanganisa ubuciko nomlando ngobuhle nokunethezeka. Ifa elisha lokwakhiwa kweSan Luis Potosí, elisenkabeni yomlando.
Sesiwele ngokulambisa umkhawulo wesithabathaba somuzi futhi saba nomuzwa wokuthi ikhulu le-19 lalisifikile. Sishiye ukuxokozela komgwaqo ngemuva futhi salalela kancane umculo we-Estrellita kaManuel M. Ponce. Sicabanga phambi kwethu igumbi elihle, esacabanga ukuthi kwakuyiphathio endala yendlu. Ukunethezeka nokuzwana kwefenisha kwakungaphezulu kokusobala futhi yonke imininingwane kwakubonakala ukuthi inakekelwe ngokucophelela. Ukubuka kwethu kwahamba kahle enkwalini yezimbali, upiyano olukhulu, umdwebo omibalabala odongeni futhi sahamba sayokuqedela udome lwengilazi lwohlobo lweMurano olumboze uphahla. Ngenkathi siya egumbini lokuphumula, sathola kuwo wonke amakhona nefenisha, imisebenzi yobuciko, ukuthi ngaphandle kokuba ngochwepheshe, saba nesibindi sokucabanga ukuthi ucezu ngalunye lwalungeqiniso. Sibe sesicabanga ukuthi sikumnyuziyamu, kodwa empeleni sasisezindlini zokubungaza ePalacio de San Agustín-Museum.
Imvelaphi yaphezulu
Indaba ithi ngekhulu le-18, izindela zika-Augustinian zakha lesi sigodlo esigodlweni esidala esasiphambi "kwendlela yomgudu wokuhamba", indlela eya phambili ngezikwele ezinkulu kanye nezakhiwo zenkolo zedolobha laseSan Luis Potosí. Le ndlu yakhiwa ngekhulu leshumi nesikhombisa ekhoneni elakha isango laseSan Agustín (namuhla uGaleana Street) noCruz Street (namuhla u-5 de Mayo Street), phakathi kweBandla laseSan Agustín nethempeli nesigodlo I-San Francisco. Ngemuva kokudlula kubanikazi abaningana, le ndawo yanikelwa kwizindela zase-Augustinian, okwathi, zikhombisa udumo lwazo ngokukhulisa izakhiwo ezihlonipheke kakhulu eNew Spain, zakhulela lesi sigodlo phakathi kokunethezeka nokunethezeka kokuphumula kwazo kanye nokwabavakashi bazo abavelele. Futhi le ndaba efanayo ilandisa ukuthi phakathi kwezimangaliso zokwakha ezazinaso isigodlo, kwakukhona izitebhisi eziyindilinga lapho izindela zikhuphuka ziyokhuleka ziye ezingeni lokugcina lesithabathaba somuzi futhi zacabanga phakathi nohambo, ingaphambili lesonto nesigodlo seSan Agustin. Kepha konke lokhu okunethezeka kwaphela futhi ngemuva kokudlula kubanikazi abaningana, isithabathaba somuzi sawohloka ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kwaze kwaba ngo-2004, iCaletto Hotel Company yathola le ndawo yaphinde yakhulelwa isigodlo.
Ngaphezu kokwakha ihhotela lezitolo, inhloso bekuwukuthola isimo esasiphilwa idolobha laseSan Luis Potosí ngezikhathi zamakholoni nangekhulu le-19, ukwakha ihhotela lomnyuziyamu. Ngenxa yalokhu, kwenziwa iphrojekthi enkulu lapho - phakathi kwabanye ochwepheshe - isazi-mlando, umakhi wezakhiwo kanye nodokotela wasendulo. Owokuqala wayephethe ukuphenya ezinqolobaneni imininingwane yomlando maqondana nendlu. Ukuvuselelwa kwezakhiwo ngokuseduze ngangokunokwenzeka ekwakhiweni kwasekuqaleni nasekuguqukeni kwezikhala ezintsha, bekungumsebenzi wesibili. Futhi i-antiquarian yaphathiswa umsebenzi we-titanic wokusesha emadolobhaneni aseFrance ukuthola ifenisha efanelekile yehhotela. Inani lamakhonteyna amane alayishwe izingcezu ezingaba ngu-700 – phakathi kwefenisha kanye nemisebenzi yobuciko ebhaliwe futhi eqinisekisiwe engaphezu kweminyaka engu-120- yafika eMexico ivela eFrance. Futhi ngemuva kweminyaka emine yokusebenza kanzima, saba nelungelo lokuba lapha ukuzojabulela lesi sigodlo.
Umnyango wesikhathi esedlule
Ngenkathi ngivula umnyango wegumbi lami, ngezwa umuzwa wokuthi isikhathi sasingimbozile futhi ngokushesha kwangithuthela e "Era Era" (ekupheleni kwekhulu le-19 kuze kube yiMpi Yezwe Yokuqala). Ifenisha, ukukhanyisa, amathoni we-pastel wezindonga, kepha ikakhulukazi ukusethwa, bekungeke kusikisele ngenye indlela. Isudi ngayinye yamahhotela angama-20 ihlotshiswe ngandlela thile, zombili izindonga nefenisha, lapho ungathola khona izitayela zikaLouis XV, uLouis XVI, uNapoleon III, uHenry II noVictoria.
Ukhaphethi osegumbini, njengalowo osehhotela lonke, ungowasePheresiya. Amakhethini nezembozo zemibhede ziyefana nezakudala futhi zenziwe ngezindwangu zaseYurophu. Futhi ukuze kungabikho frills, izindlu zangasese zakhiwa ngemabula eyodwa. Kepha imininingwane eyangimangaza kakhulu kwakuyifoni, nayo endala, kepha eyadijithali ukuhlangabezana nezidingo zamanje. Angikhumbuli nakanjani ukuthi ngichithe isikhathi esingakanani ngithola yonke imininingwane yegumbi, kuze kuzwakale umsindo womuntu ongqongqoza emnyango wami. Futhi uma nganginokungabaza ngokuthi ngibuyele emuva ngesikhathi, bachithwa lapho ngivula umnyango. Intokazi emomothekayo egqoke imvunulo yesikhathi (bonke abasebenzi basehhotela bagqoka ngendlela yesiko), njengoba ngangibonile kumamuvi kuphela, yangibuza ukuthi ngifunani ngesidlo sasekuseni ngosuku olulandelayo.
Ukuhamba ngomlando
Ngimangele ngamangala lapho ngidlula ehhotela: amaphaseji, amakamelo ahlukene, ithala kanye nomtapo wolwazi, okukhona kuwo amakhophi wekhulu le-18. Umdwebo wezindonga ungomunye umdlalo, njengoba wenziwa ngesandla ngabenzi bezandla be-potosí, ngokususelwa kumiklamo yakuqala etholakala ezakhiweni ezingaphansi kwendlu. Kepha mhlawumbe into emangalisa kunazo zonke isitebhisi se-helicoidal (esime njenge-helix) esiholela ezingeni lokugcina, lapho kukhona isonto. Njengoba kungasakwazi ukubona kuwo ubukhosi bethempeli kanye nesigodlo seSan Agustín, kwakhiwa udonga lwenkwali olungaphambili lwethempeli odongeni. Futhi-ke, njengamakholi ase-Augustinian, ngakhuphuka futhi ngangibuka phakathi nohambo, olungaphambili lwethempeli laseSan Agustín. Ngaphambi nje kokufika ekugcineni, ngaqala ukuhogela kamnandi impepho nomsindo wezingoma zikaGregory. Lokhu bekuyisandulela nje sencazelo entsha; Ekupheleni kwezitebhisi, endaweni ephawulwe ngombhalo wesiLatini, ungabona ngefasitela elinengilazi elineqanda, umbhoshongo wesonto laseSan Agustín, wakhe isithombe esihlaba umxhwele semvelo. Ngakolunye uhlangothi nangelinye iwindi, ungabona izindlu zesonto laseSan Francisco. Yonke le mfucumfucu ebonakalayo yi-anteroom yokungena esontweni, elinye lamatshe ayigugu asehhotela. Futhi akuyona into engaphansi, ngoba ilethwe ngokuphelele ivela edolobheni esifundazweni saseFrance. I-lambrin yesitayela sangeNkathi Ephakathi yama-Gothic namakholomu kaSolomoni afakwe ngegolide we-altare ayigugu elikhulu kakhulu.
Ngemuva kokudla kwakusihlwa, samenyelwa ukugibela ikalishi lekhulu le-19 ngaphambi kwehhotela. Kwakungathi kuvalwa usuku ngentuthuko, njengoba sasizungeza idolobha ebusuku, sijabulela izibani zasebusuku. Ngakho-ke sivakashela isonto laseSan Agustín, iTheatre of Peace, isonto laseCarmen, i-Aranzazu nePlaza de San Francisco, phakathi kwezinye izikhumbuzo zomlando. Ukushaywa kwezinselo zehhashi etsheni lembokodo kwagcwalisa imigwaqo emincane yedolobha nge-nostalgia futhi ukudlula kwenqola kwakubonakala njengesithombe esasisuswe emlandweni. Lapho ebuyela ehhotela, kwase kuyisikhathi sokujabulela igumbi futhi. Ngikulungele ukulala, ngihambe ngamakhethini awugqinsi ngacima ugesi, isikhathi saphela futhi ukuthula bekukhona. Ngokusobala, ngalala njengezikhathi ezimbalwa.
Ngakusasa ekuseni iphephandaba lendawo kanye nesidlo sasekuseni egumbini lami kwakufike ngesikhathi. Ngakho-ke ngibonge kakhulu kulabo abenze lesi sigodlo sanikezelwa kwezobuciko, umlando nokunethezeka. Kufezeka iphupho ngesikhathi.
