is a modest hotel, which was founded in the late 50 for the Lusitanian José Da Silva, then was inherited by his son, Alberto Fernandez, who in 1971, sold it to his countryman, Joao Da Roche had already some years working on the branch of the bakery in Anaco. By purchasing the hotel was sold and came to El Tigre to all the children. In the area where the hotel is located, for many years until it was built the old passenger terminal at the northwest corner of The Wrestler, was the favorite place for bus drivers to load and unload passengers on suburban routes . Passenger Terminal was open, which gives it a great movement in that geographical area and therefore provided a large clientele to the hotel on May Day. El Tigre was in the process of consolidation as a city. Those were times of the Cuban rice Bs 1, Bs cold 0.50, 0.25 and Pepsi Bs actually a solid currency. The purchasing power of the bolivar was huge compared to the current.
Hotel Mayday, has about 24 rooms - now they all have air conditioning - the popular character, enabled him in his early years, offering rooms with fan for the small price of Bs in August, the pre oo who were not strong or weak, were simply Bs with high purchasing power. Mr. Joao Da Rocha, who sadly died in 1987, since assuming the administration, management and care of the business, hired a small staff. The service was and is in charge of the family. Augusta Rosa wife of Jesus, is now retired, he handed the baton to the children. Maria Natalia, Paolo Jorge, Joao Manuel, Maria Teresa, Maria Herminia and Jose Luis. They know the business to perfection, allowing them, since they open until close, providing an excellent and prompt service. Everyone put in place and control. The routine of work and is part of their lives.
The only workers, outside the family, which has the hotel are, Antonio Aguilar - not a singer - who is the receptionist and Mrs. Cipriano Gutierrez in the trade as a waitress. The most frequent customers, continuous and constant is the passenger, foreign vendors and people passing through, mainly Brazilians who travel from Manaus and other parts of the north of this great country to the eastern beaches, which we are closer than Rio de Janeiro. It is also the meeting place for pin collectors. The hotel has ample parking and also offers bar service, restaurant, soda fountain, cable television, more kindness, gentleness and courtesy of the owners, which makes it the preferred space for those farm workers, the which must wait for the payment of wages which charge daily. There are no permanent staff in the collection of pins. Dead goat, goat payment. A friend who visits every afternoon and the bar until closing at 9PM, is the retired oil industry Oswaldo Guerra. A cold dinner and a good parrot of the human and the divine with the Portuguese and some friends, you release stress. Then he retires to his home, to be delivered into the arms of Morpheus, very quietly. Mr. Neuman Cedeño, who is his friend and has known him since way back, said that "this bold, loves a Portuguese." ¿?. They are buddies and are very well understood.
The years that Da Roche family in El Tigre, the relationship with the other members of the colony Lusitanian and dedication to service that distinguishes them, they have won the confidence of the government of their country of origin and also of their compatriots in the south of Anzoátegui state, to the extent that, for purposes of elections, the ballots arrive at the Hotel Primero de Mayo and the business, become a de facto surrogate Portuguese consulate, the official located in Caracas. It is humble, hardworking, industrious, disciplined and always ready to give all out to be useful, without seeking special recognition. In sport, as good Europeans, his passion is football. Mary Herman, who married her countryman Manuel Da Silva Cardoso, have two children. Ing Marie and Richard "Kookie" Da Silva, already regular sub-20 national team of Portugal. In the next world, we can not rule out having a player, even when defending the colors of the Portuguese national team, is born, raised and educated in El Tigre why is it in Portugal? It is a long history that can only rely on property and knowingly, Manuel and Mary. The important, crucial and fascinating is the firm hope that we have to have a tígrense in a World Cup. Give it time "Kookie" is a great prospect. We are on the move.
The Portuguese colony came when immigration was opened in Venezuela in the late 40's and early 50's, came to work and contribute their efforts, dedication and commitment to the development of our country. Generations of Portuguese who founded, consolidated and up today, keep the doors open to the Hotel Mayday, we can say without fear of misunderstanding, have worked and are working hard, fervor and a lot of discipline, to contribute from that popular business with the economic, social, cultural and sports of El Tigre. The Portuguese have nurtured our land, our land has nurtured them and that makes them compatriots. The children of Portuguese immigrants are citizens first. Venezuelans will never forget, we are multiethnic. In these humble
flashes, they think prominent people of our city. They have enriched and enrich the town's history. Forces and indicates that our eminent writers, columnists and local historians should not forget the time to write the true and authentic history of the city and incorporate, with honors, the hard drive of our historical memory. It is a commitment to the truth of our past. Goooool of Portugal.
