Marisa Román and Roque Valero star as the main protagonists. Since January 9, 2012, the telenovela has aired in Venezuela through cable channel Venevision Plus to repeated 4pm at 11:30 pm. It is considered a most successful telenovela written by Leonardo Padrón, after Cosita rica.[2]
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.
