Another area of the resort (Eng/Esp)

English version

As I’ve said many times, the beach is a very relaxing place for me, which is why I go back as often as possible and explore different spots. I enjoy seeing places I’ve visited before from new perspectives; in this case, I returned to Quetepe, but instead of staying in the area associated with the beach resort, I walked toward the west side.

The community of Quetepe is unique in that very modest homes—typical of fishermen—coexist alongside very luxurious residences. On the western side of the beach, far from the main entrance, there’s another tourist-friendly stretch of shore, and the most curious thing about this is that this part of the beach is the best because there are no rocks, no seaweed, and no mud—in other words, it’s the best place to enjoy yourself, unlike the resort area, where going into the water isn’t very pleasant.

Living on the beach must be a pleasant experience—at least that’s how it seems to me—which is why I see how happy people are living in makeshift homes; a roof is all they need to shelter from the sun and rain while they rest. It seems like logical reasoning, since fishermen tend to spend much of their lives at sea.

The perspectives of tourists and those who live here are very different: those who can’t enjoy the sea every day try to live each hour to the fullest, while the locals seem relaxed, as if time were passing very slowly. For tourists, sunset signals that it’s time to head back—just when the horizon offers the most beautiful view—but that view is reserved for those who can watch the day fade away without a care in the world.

Como lo he dicho en reiteradas oportunidades, la playa es un lugar muy relajante para mí, por eso vuelvo tantas veces como sea posible y recorro diferentes lugares. Me agrada tener nuevas perspectivas de sitios que he visitado antes, en este caso volví a Quetepe, pero en lugar de quedarme en el sector asociado al balneario, caminé hacia el lado oeste.

La comunidad de Quetepe es particular, en el sentido de que coexisten viviendas muy humildes, propias de pescadores, y residencias muy lujosas. En el lado oeste de la playa, lejos de la entrada principal, se ubica otra orilla turística y lo más curioso de esta situación es que esta parte de la playa es la mejor porque no hay piedras, ni algas, ni fango, es decir que es el mejor lugar para disfrutar, al contrario del balneario donde ingresar al mar no resulta agradable.

Vivir a orillas de una playa debe ser una experiencia agradable, al menos a mí me lo parece, por tal razón observo cómo las personas se muestran felices conviviendo en casas precarias, un techo es lo básico para resguardarse del sol y la lluvia mientras descansan. Parece un razonamiento lógico ya que el pescador suele pasar gran parte de su vida navegando.

La perspectiva del turista y de quien vive aquí es muy distinta, quien no puede disfrutar del mar cada día intenta vivir cada hora con intensidad, en tanto los residentes locales lucen relajados, como si el tiempo transcurriera muy lentamente. Para el turista, el atardecer avisa que es hora de regresar, justamente cuando el horizonte luce el paisaje más hermoso, pero ese está reservado para quienes pueden observar el ocaso del día sin preocupación.
