Since 2009 the weaving and stitchery workshop for weaving handicrafts of the Sosa family with the people from Millpo (Millpu) is at Palms Avenue (Avenida Las Palmeras) no. 301, indicated in the plan with a yellow red square.

Sosa family was kicked out from Palms Avenue and is building it's own house now in the rear of Andamarca barrier ("Textil Wiñay Maki"). There is no address yet because the street has no name yet either. Other data are the same like before:

Within Peru the mobile phones are working without local codes.

The family also has got a stand in Anoro gallery, stand no. 11, at the other side of a former prison
(Galería Anoro 11, ex carcel)




Walking from the center of the town of Ayacucho to the workshop of Ciriaco Sosa at the Avenida Las Palmeras
Street in the center of Ayacucho
Street in the center of Ayacucho

Ayacucho is always very steep and hilly, and when it's raining, big rivers are running through the town. Driving a car in Ayacucho during a heavy rain is extremely dangerous, and in 2010 there was a car avalanche shifting about 30 cars into the valley. So, when there is a heavy rain, you should not drive a car here, because when your are in a car, you have no chance holding on when the car is swimming.

Why this is like this in Ayacucho? Canalization system is missing at the hills and the stupid Peruvian mayors are not bothering about it.

But today was no rain, only clouds, and this was a good condition for walking so there was no hot sunshine in the streets.

People who want to go by foot to Ciriaco Sosa's workshop they can walk for example passing Grau Street (jiron Grau), passing the market first and then these freight tricycles which have a traditional place there selling fruits or other things.

Somebody is making his siesta here on one of the freight tricycles. Well, one should feel "free", and so free is the people here concerning some conditions of life.

Jiron Grau, little hotel (hospedaje) Willrose

On the way there is this little hotel Willrose where there are cheap rooms for sure for people who want to stay a longer time in Ayacucho, and this hotel not is in the center either and therefore it can be that this hotel is quiet calm. But I never have been there, and I don't know if there are hens and cocks. But if there are, so sleeping will end at 4 o'clock in the morning. You have to try it out. Perhaps this little hotel is an insider tip.

Here we are passing a bridge and at the other side there is a Micky Mouse painting of a primary school.

Here we see the traditional colored fabric of Quechua speaking farmer's society of the Andes. These are very beautiful fabrics speaking to all feelings at one moment, but these fabrics are hardly on the list of the tourists and hare hardly considered. Such fabrics can be purchased on any handicraft market.

Now we have a peace of natural street, this is Raimondi street (Jiron Raimondi).

At this street there are garden walls on which are growing cactuses. Well, this is also a method defending oneself against thieves.

This was well done by the owner of the house. Worse done by the neighbors was that what is coming on the next photo.

As it seems nobody has got the courage calling to the town cleaning administration for a cleaning action here. Therefore the dogs are coming and taking over this task, but they are doing it worse opening all searching for something like meat or bone or compote or other things, and at the end the single parts are distributed on the street. The courage for a call - this is that what many people in South "America" don't have.

And the city administration is not distributing the telephone numbers. They mean that this would only cost and organize their parties. That is a typical Peruvian behavior...

And suddenly the scenery is changing. Now we are going up Cahuide street, a clean little concrete road.

At the bridge one knows that there is coming the Palms Alley now (Avenida Las Palmeras)

And now this is another steep street, because hairpin turns are not wanted by Peruvian city planners because the chessboard pattern of the town would be destroyed.

And soon will come the house no. 301 where we can find the weaving workshop of Ciriaco Sosa since 2009.

Sosa family is living in two big rooms, but in 2009 there were no window glasses, so the rooms were dark. Perhaps this has changed in the meantime.

Sosa family also has got a stall selling their handicrafts in Gallery A Moro 11 near Maria Parado de Bellido Park where the prison was before (ex cárcel), calle Quínua / 9 de Diciembre.
