Ciudad Bendita is a Venezuelan telenovela produced and broadcast by Venevisión and distributed internationally by Venevisión International. The telenovela is an original story written by Leonardo Padrón.[1]

Plot

Set in the heat of a popular market, Ciudad Bendita tells the love story between two peddlers, two losers, two people of the heap, as anonymous as any. Bendita Sanchez has a detail that obscures her beauty: a limp. On a bus trip back to Caracas she meets Juan Lobo, an ugly man that dreams of becoming a musician, and he instantly falls in love with her.

However, Bendita happens to love another: Yunior Mercado, a metrosexual playboy, and only views Juan Lobo as a friend despite his composing of various songs to win her favor.

Ciudad Bendita is a great tribute to unrequited love, as well as the story of a country, a people, an entire community living on poverty, and a handful of survivors who dream of learning the key to happiness in the muddy streets of a Latin American city.
