Barrio

A barrio is a neighborhood or district within a city, often associated with a specific cultural or ethnic community, particularly in Latin America and parts of the United States. Historically, barrios have been centers for immigrant or minority groups, offering a sense of identity, community, and shared culture. They can be vibrant, close-knit areas with local businesses, traditions, and social networks. While some barrios face economic challenges and urban issues, they also serve as important cultural hubs that preserve heritage and foster community resilience.
