| Sumario: | José is a man of about 80 years who has spent more than half of his life going back and forth along Villazón avenue or Sacaba road. If we understand the territory as a palimpsest composed of interlocking historical layers, rugosity by the transit and accumulated footprints, we will understand the importance of visualizing the evolution of this road traveled by José and his wife over the years. The article has its focus of debate on the road of Villazón avenue.

It is perceived a transformation of the way and at the same time an evolution in the life of the people: Its walk on foot, the hierarchization of the illuminated and wider road, over narrow and even unsafe streets. Similarly, the flows are greater, trade is spreading along this road. |
