  In this occasion I interviewed a couple of 75 years, they have been living many years in this neighborhood.   First, I started asking her why did they moved here. They said that they moved here because they loves nature and the good vibes that this district gives her. Then, I asked them what the district was like when they first came and which was their her first memory of this place. The answer that this neighbor gave me I think that is really special because they said me that they were recently married and that they wanted to change the place that they were living. They said they were fascinated with the sunsets, in the time that have been living I am in love with all the sunsets that I seen here.

  In this post I want to write about public activities and how my family support the district of Mata Redonda and San José canton. In my case, my family support the services provided by my district by paying all the taxes and fees at time.

First of all, I want to start including some facts about Mata Redonda district and San José canton. This district was created in December 1948. Mata Redonda was declared an “international zone” for the construction of the International Airport in 1948. The postal code of this zone is 10108. In 1962 Mata Redonda was the least populated district and it was full of coffe farms, but Manuel Antonio Chapuí donated those lands for people to live there.

The current ruling party of the canton is “Partido Liberación Nacional”...
