Please can somebody help me filling on my code the XXXXXXX. Thanks in advance

{
    if (!ciudades) {
        NSString *path = [NSString XXXXXXXXX];
        ciudades = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:path];
}

First add that file to your application bundle By adding a existing file from xcode to your project. Then use this method to get the file path for example I’m getting a image’s path.

NSString *path   = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:imageName ofType:@"png"];

then try the dictionaryWithContentsOfFile method and see if it works or not.
