Tabula
Vélez is one of the oldest towns in Colombia, founded in the sixteenth century in what is now the department of Santander. It stands on the slopes of the eastern Andes. The colonial grid, with a main plaza at its centre, meets steep and uneven ground, so the straight lines of the streets end abruptly at ravines or turn to follow the hillside.
The town is widely known for bocadillo veleño, a guava paste wrapped in bijao leaves, and for the Festival de la Guabina y el Tiple, a celebration of the region's traditional music. On a map, however, the landscape is the main story. The land drops away into deep valleys around the town, and roads wind down in long switchbacks toward the surrounding countryside.
A Vélez map poster shows a Spanish colonial plan imposed on mountain terrain. There is the compact grid around the plaza, the slopes pressing in on all sides and the curving roads leading out of town. It suits anyone from Santander and anyone who appreciates the old towns of the Colombian Andes.
The main square sits at the heart of a regular grid of blocks, the classic layout of a Spanish colonial foundation, and gives the map a clear centre.
Steep terrain presses against the town. Streets that start straight have to bend or stop where the hillside falls away.
Roads leaving Vélez zigzag down toward the valleys, drawing looping lines across the edges of the composition.
