El Estado Barinas fue designado con ese nombre a partir del año 1859 en honor a su capital.

Hoy Barinas está resurgiendo gracias al desarrollo de su agricultura: maíz, sorgo, arroz, café, cacao; explotación de la madera, petróleo, ganadería y buenas vías de comunicación, además del creciente desarrollo turístico en el estado.

  Venezuela's Hugo Chavez: The devil on the loose... | www.vcrisis.com | printer friendly version
The Barinas State is an orgy of public mismanagement.
The father of the Venezuelan President -known among his fellow Barinas residents as "The Teacher"- is used to render his accounts late.
It is worth to clarify that the document showing the "happy" way the Barinas administration undertakes public management comes from a state agency, not from the so-called "dirty war laboratories" of the political opposition.

 land reforem in venezuala : Melbourne Indymedia
BARINAS, Venezuela -- Richard Padron was born under democracy and into modern-day vassalage.
Chavez has held on, however, and in rural states like Barinas, known for its extensive lush estates and chronic poverty, the government has marched apace with its agrarian reform program, propelling an emboldened movement of peasants, or campesinos, that has clashed with wealthy cattle ranchers who lay claim to the land.
According to Leonardo Patino, the INTI legal counsel in Barinas, the land was given to the campesinos because it was considered both public and idle.

That is the case in Barinas, a town of pastures and grain silos that is famous for being the hometown of Chávez, who in his seven years in office has promised a social and cultural revolution.
From Barinas, on the oven-hot plains of Venezuela, comes some of the country's great traditional music, mournful songs of love lost or rat-a-tat ballads, often bawdy and humorous, about big, wide trees, fast horses and romantic sunsets.
Carlos Tapia, another Barinas resident and one of Venezuela's best-known harpists, said he welcomed the law because his brand of music had in recent years received little notice, as radio stations turned to rock, rap and pop.

 BARINAS, Outwash apron   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The name was used as a synonym for the "Barinas outwash apron" under which term the stratigraphic unit was first described by Liddle (1928, p.
The writer disagrees with Liddle's age comparison because the Guanare outwash apron is composed mostly of boulders of Misoa quartzitic sandstone which had to be stripped off their Andean source area before the igneous and metamorphic constituents of the Guanapa (Barinas) formation were exposed.
The age of the Guanare outwash apron is therefore, assumed to be late pliocene or early pleistocene, whereas the age of the Guanapa (Barinas) formation is known to be later pleistocene.

Two Venezuelan campesino leaders were killed on May 15 in Sucre de Barinas Municipality in the western state of Barinas in a struggle with landowners and their armed supporters, according to the Ezequiel Zamora Campesino Front coordinator for the state, José Tapia, and Ezequiel Zamora National Agrarian Coordinating Committee director Braulio Alvarez.
Tapia and Alvarez also reported the death of Jorge Nieves, another local leader they said was killed by hired thugs; they did not give the date of his murder.
