Macondo

Fictional town created by Gabriel García Márquez

Macondo (Spanish pronunciation: [maˈkondo]) is a fictional town described in Gabriel García Márquez's novel One Hundred Years of Solitude. It is the home town of the Buendía family. Aracataca. Macondo is often supposed to draw from García Márquez's childhood town, Aracataca, near the north (Caribbean) coast of Colombia, 80 km south of Santa Marta. In June 2006, there was a referendum to change the name of the town from Aracataca to Macondo, which ultimately failed due to low turnout. Etymology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macondo
