		LA GUAIRA, or LA GUAYRA (sometimes LAGUAIRA, andc.), a town and port of Venezuela, in the Federal district, 23 M. by rail and 62 m.
		LA GRANJA, or SAN ILDEFONSO, a summer palace of the kings of Spain; on the south-eastern border of the province of Segovia, and on the western slopes of the Sierra de Guadarrama, 7 M. by road S.E. of the city of Segovia.
		La Guaira was founded in 1588, was sacked by filibusters under Amias Preston in 1595, and by the French under Grammont in 1680, was destroyed by the great earthquake of the 26th of March 1812, and suffered severely in the war for independence.

	Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America - Chapter 11.
		Although the sea is extremely rough from Cape Codera to La Guayra, and although the boats have an enormous triangular sail, somewhat dangerous in those gusts which issue from the mountain-passes, no instance has occurred during thirty years, of one of these boats being lost in the passage from Cumana to the coast of Caracas.
		The climate of La Guayra is justly considered to be hotter than that of Cumana, Porto Cabello, and Coro, because the sea-breeze is less felt, and the air is heated by the radiant caloric which the perpendicular rocks emit from the time the sun sets.
		La Guayra appeared to me in general to be tolerably clean, with the exception of the quarter of the slaughter-houses.

	Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America - Chapter 15.
		La Victoria is traversed by the little river Calanchas, running, not into the Tuy, but into the Rio Aragua: it thence results that this fine country, producing at once sugar and corn, belongs to the basin of the lake of Valencia, to a system of interior rivers not communicating with the sea.
		Twelve years afterwards, those valleys of Aragua, those peaceful plains of La Victoria and Turmero, the defile of Cabrera, and the fertile banks of the lake of Valencia, became the scenes of obstinate and sanguinary conflicts between the natives and the troops of the mother-country.
		La Cabrera now forms a peninsula: not sixty years ago it was a rocky island in the lake, the waters of which gradually diminish.

		As they claimed Dutch citizenship, the consul-general for the Netherlands, Van Lansberge, informed the home government, and three ships of war were sent to La Guayra, the principal seaport of Venezuela, and the redress demanded was at once granted.
		The Venezuelan government agreed to salute the Dutch flag; to restore to the Jews their property; and to pay an indemnity of 200,000 pesos ($160,000), the last clause being carried into effect in 1859, after lengthy diplomatic negotiations with the ambassador of the Netherlands, Jhr.
		In July following, the same vessel was sent to La Vela de Coro for the remainder, and only a few Jewish residents remained behind to protect the property of the exiles.

		While at Concepcion de la Vega he was informed that several Indians had burned an altar erected by friars in the interior, and had buried the sacred images.
		In La Vega and Santiago the Haitian troops made prisoners of numerous families, aggregating 900 persons among men, women and children in La Vega and probably more in Santiago, and forced them to accompany the army to northern Haiti, where they were kept in captivity, working practically as slaves for their captors, for four years.
		Many of his prisoners mysteriously disappeared, and popular rumor points out one of the lower platforms of the fort "La Fuerza," where an aguacate tree formerly grew, as the place where prisoners were shot at night, their bodies being thrown to the sharks at the base of the cliff.

		Garcilaso de la Vega's contemporary record of the early Spanish period in Peru is most valuable, as it is based on eyewitness testimony and personal observation.
		Garcilaso de la Vega, "El Inca," a distinguished 16th-century mestizo Peruvian and a descendant of the Spanish poet of the same name, was born in Peru and spent his formative years there, living out his later life in Spain.
		Garcilaso de la Vega is chiefly known for this history of the Incas, which was supposedly based on mestizo Jesuit Blas Valera's manuscripts, which Garcilaso de la Vega saved when Cadiz was sacked by the British.

		On the surrender of Caracas to Gonzales, July 17, 1814, Bolivar evacuated La Guayra, ordered the vessels lying in the harbor of that town to sail for Cuntana, and retreated with the remainder of his troops upon Barcelona.

		This condition was not peculiar to Venezuela, since nearly every other Spanish American republic suffered a similar fate for prolonged periods in the course of the nineteenth century, leading to the negative stereotyping of the Latin American peoples as uncivilized and unprogressive by European, North American, and even Latin American intellectuals, diplomats, publicists and propagandists.
		Castro also knew that with the local insurgents not yet fully suppressed, and with the nearly total dependence of his government on the customs revenues of the two main ports of La Guayra and Puerto Cabello, he had to lean on the Americans for intercession with the blockading powers and for a negotiated settlement.
		On April 28, Castro retaliated against Trinidad by passing a decree which quarantined La Guayra as a port of entry, citing the very bubonic plague that the Trinidad government had cited for its action.

		They were all maritime ports in direct contact with the outside world; their intense economic activity took place along with their political and administrative functions as capitals and, therefore, as centers of economic decision-making.

		Founded in 1882 as the capital of the Province of Buenos Aires, La Plata experienced considerable development both in trade and as a port thanks to the efforts of a predominantly immigrant urban population.
