		The ostensible purpose of the trip was to sell his grandparents' house, where the author was born and had spent most of his first eight years.
		But his visit to Aracataca was decisive in creating in his imagination the idealised world that so many of his readers have come to love.
		Aracataca was to mutate into Macondo—the name plucked from a railside banana plantation—and his grandfather provided the model for Colonel Aureliano Buendía in “One Hundred Years of Solitude”, published in 1967.

	SparkNotes: One Hundred Years of Solitude: Context
		Gabriel García Márquez was born in 1928, in the small town of Aracataca, Colombia.
		In part, the magic of García Márquez’s writing is a result of his rendering the world through a child’s eyes: he has said that nothing really important has happened to him since he was eight years old and that the atmosphere of his books is the atmosphere of childhood.
		García Márquez’s native town of Aracataca is the inspiration for much of his fiction, and readers of One Hundred Years of Solitude may recognize many parallels between the real-life history of García Márquez’s hometown and the history of the fictional town of Macondo.

	Financial Review: To write so I would not die (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		To say this is not to play the game that so infuriates serious novelists - looking for "real" counterparts to or inspirations for fictional characters - but to underscore the point made by Garcia Marquez himself, that his family is his country in microcosm.
		This is what bore in on him with such force when he went to Aracataca with his mother in 1950, a trip "so decisive that the longest and most diligent of lives would not be enough for me to finish recounting it".
		Not merely did memory wash over him in a great flood when he returned to the family's village, but he realised that memory would be his chief instrument as he began to explore his country and its complex, bloody, beautiful past.
