Zináparo is the name of the town we live in. The total population is around 2,000, most of whom live in the center of town on the other side of the highway from where we are (less than a mile away).

Here’s a photo of Zináparo’s coat of arms. Pottery like those pictured in the lower left were commonly produced and used here in the past; now you’ll mostly find containers made from plastic. Corn, in the lower right, grows abundantly; note the hills in the background behind the corn, reflecting the terrain here. At the top is a heron – the birds are common as are depictions of them.
