[ENG/ESP] Guayacán. A beautiful place full of traditions.
Dear fellow travelers, I wish you a wonderful weekend. I am looking forward to it, as I want to make the most of it and do different things with my family. Breathe fresh air and share special moments with them.
Today I want to show you a charming place. I say charming because it is one of those places that fill you with positive energy, make you feel at peace, and connect you with the simplest and most beautiful things in life. I am referring to the beach and the town of Guayacán, located in the municipality of Gómez, in the state of Nueva Esparta, on the beautiful Isla de Margarita. To get to this special place, you have to take Simplicio Rodríguez Avenue, a road that gradually prepares you for what you will find just off the highway after passing Manzanillo.
On this occasion, after finishing work, I decided to take my mother to see Guayacán. She was very curious to visit this fishing village, one of those that preserve their traditions and essence. From the top of the hill, before going down to the village, you could see the entire cove. The weather was glorious, the sky was clear, and the sun illuminated everything with a warm light that brought out the colors of the sea and the vegetation. It was a truly beautiful view, the kind that makes you stop for a few minutes just to contemplate it.
Queridos amigos viajeros, les deseo un buen fin de semana. Yo lo espero con ansias, pues quiero aprovecharlo muy bien y hacer cosas diferentes con mi familia. Respirar aire puro y compartir momentos especiales con ellos.
Hoy quiero mostrarles un lugar encantador. Digo encantador porque es de esos sitios que te llenan de energía muy positiva, que te hacen sentir en paz y te conectan con lo más sencillo y hermoso de la vida. Me refiero a la playa y al pueblo de Guayacán, ubicado en el municipio Gómez, en el estado Nueva Esparta, en la hermosa Isla de Margarita. Para llegar a este rincón tan especial, hay que tomar la avenida Simplicio Rodríguez, una vía que te va preparando poco a poco para lo que vas a encontrar solo al desviarte de la carretera después de pasar plata Manzanillo.
En esta ocasión después de terminar de trabajar, decidí llevar a mi madre a conocer Guayacán. Ella tenía mucha curiosidad por conocer este pueblo pesquero de esos que conservan sus tradiciones y su esencia. Desde la punta de la loma, antes de bajar al pueblo, se podía ver completamente la ensenada. El clima estaba radiante, el cielo despejado y el sol iluminaba todo con una luz cálida que hacía resaltar los colores del mar y la vegetación. Era una vista realmente hermosa, de esas que te hacen detenerte unos minutos solo para contemplar.
We slowly descended the steep road, and as we got closer, the village began to reveal itself with its simple houses, many of them painted in bright colors. It is worth mentioning that most of the people who live in Guayacán are fishermen or live solely from fishing. It is a village that breathes sea, hard work, and tradition.
Fuimos bajando poco a poco por la empinada carretera, y a medida que nos acercábamos, el pueblo comenzaba a revelarse con sus casas sencillas, muchas de ellas pintadas con colores vivos. Cabe decir que la mayoría de las personas que viven en Guayacán son pescadores o viven netamente de la pesca. Es un pueblo que respira mar, esfuerzo y tradición.
We were lucky to arrive just as the fishermen were returning from their daily catch. The boats began to approach the shore, and the beach became bustling with activity. I was struck by the decoration on the boats. One of them, for example, was named “Mi Esperanza” (My Hope) and had a painting of the Virgin of the Valley, the patron saint of the East. I found this detail very moving, a sign of faith and devotion that accompanies the fishermen on each day of their work.
Tuvimos la suerte de llegar justo cuando los pescadores estaban regresando de su faena diaria. Los botes comenzaban a acercarse a la orilla, y la playa se llenaba de movimiento. Me llamó mucho la atención la decoración de las embarcaciones. Una de ellas, por ejemplo, tenía el nombre “Mi Esperanza” y una pintura de la Virgen del Valle, la patrona del Oriente. Ese detalle me pareció muy emotivo, una muestra de fe y devoción que acompaña a los pescadores en cada jornada.
We saw one of them take a huge fish out of the boat and place it on his shoulders. The fish was almost bigger than him, and he carried it to the scales to weigh it. Being very curious, I went over and saw that the scales showed 70 kilos. According to what they told us, it was a “tiburónaso,” as they call it. We were very surprised. It was impressive to see the strength and skill with which they handled everything.
Vimos a uno de ellos sacar del bote un enorme pez y colocarlo en sus hombros. El pez era casi más grande que él, y lo llevó hasta la pesa para pesarlo. Yo, que soy muy curiosa, me acerqué y vi que la báscula marcaba 70 kilos. Según nos contaron, era un “tiburónaso”, como ellos lo llaman. Nos quedamos muy sorprendidos. Era impresionante ver la fuerza y destreza con la que manejaban todo.
As they were hard at work, we watched them weigh other fish and load them onto refrigerated trucks waiting at the edge of the beach. Other fishermen had already gathered their nets and were putting away their tools. One of them told me that at the end of the day, someone always stays behind with a hammock to look after the common good: their work tools.
Como estaban en plena faena, pudimos observar cómo pesaban otros peces y los llevaban a los camiones cavas que esperaban al borde de la playa. Otros pescadores ya habían recogido sus redes y estaban guardando sus herramientas. Uno de ellos me contó que al final del día, siempre queda alguien en el local con una hamaca, cuidando el bien común: sus instrumentos de trabajo.
It was a wonderful experience to see the fishermen of Guayacán come ashore with their catch. But the most beautiful thing, without a doubt, is the color of the sea and how calm it is. That's why many families with young children prefer this beach. It's safe, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing.
Unfortunately, as we had just come from work, we didn't have our swimsuits with us and couldn't take a dip in those warm waters. But we promised ourselves we would return soon, this time prepared to enjoy it to the fullest.
Well, dear friends, if you have the opportunity to visit Margarita, don't miss this beautiful place. Guayacán has magic, it has soul, and I assure you it will leave you with unforgettable memories.
I'll see you very soon in another of my posts.
See you soon.
Bye!
Fue una experiencia muy bonita ver a los pescadores de Guayacán entrar a tierra con su pesca. Pero lo más hermoso, sin duda, es el color del mar y lo tranquilo que es. Por eso, muchas familias con niños pequeños prefieren esta playa. Es segura, serena y perfecta para relajarse.
Lamentablemente, como veníamos de trabajar, no llevábamos traje de baño y no pudimos darnos un chapuzón en esas cálidas aguas. Pero nos prometimos volver pronto, esta vez preparados para disfrutarla al máximo.
Bueno, queridos amigos, si tienen la oportunidad de estar en Margarita, no dejen de pasar por este lindo lugar. Guayacán tiene magia, tiene alma, y les aseguro que les dejará recuerdos inolvidables.
Los veré muy pronto en otra de mis publicaciones.
Hasta pronto.
¡Chao!

Wow, it's awesome to look into the sea while watching those fishermen catching big fish.
It truly was a wonderful experience—my mother was absolutely delighted.
We shared a beautiful moment, full of joy, meaningful insights, and lasting memories.
Thank you for your kind words. Wishing you a happy and relaxing weekend!🌹🌷🌺🏵️🪻💐💮🌼🌻🌸🪷🥀🍀
¡Que hermosa la playa Guayacán! Es una lástima que no llevaban traje de baño, me imagino que sumergirse en sus aguas debe ser una grandiosa experiencia, por otra parte la falta de ropa de baño fue compensada con ver como es el proceso para pesar los peses luego de ser pescados.
Al final, el momento en la playa Guayacán se transformó en algo verdaderamente maravilloso gracias a la experiencia vivida junto a los pescadores.
Mi madre quedó fascinada al ver la magnitud de la pesca, fue una sorpresa inolvidable para ella.
Gracias de corazón por pasar por mi publicación y por tus palabras tan amables.
¡Te deseo un fin de semana lleno de tranquilidad y buenos momentos! 🌹🌷🌺🏵️🪻💐💮🌼🌻🌸🪷🥀🍀
It must have been an amazing experience for you and your mother to visit such a beautiful place, surrounded by nature and incredible views of the warm sea. It doesn't matter that you couldn't go for a swim, I'm sure you'll go back and enjoy it again, but this time you were able to meet the local fishermen and see their work.
The fish or shark is huge, it will be a good thrill, but I was also struck by the beautiful photographs you took of the boats in the water and everything you experienced. It was spectacular, thank you very much! Hugs!
