Barber, Curaçao
Barber is a town in the north of the island of Curaçao in the Netherlands Antilles. It is located inland from the north coast, to the southeast of Christoffelberg, at a major road junction. To the north lies the smaller settlement of San Hyronimo, and to the west lie Santa Cruz and Soto. The small settlement of Ascencion lies just to the east. Main sites of Barber include the oldest tree in Curaçao, a Ceiba pentandra or silk cotton tree. It is claimed by some to be 800 years old, which could make it the oldest silk cotton tree in the world. [1] [2] Barber hosts a Sunday market, where local vendors sell delicacies such as stomach soup[3] and a local form of pasties.
