Some say it was founded in 1521. Others say it was in 1523. In what most agree is that it was the first city founded by the English on American soil. Although no certainties, Cumana, Venezuela city located in Sucre state, continues to resonate with the echoes of their past that elevates as the great first-born of our continent. However
for Mrs. Y, a tourist guide, the historical gloss fades to contemplate the present of Cumana. "We stayed at this: a town with big city airs." While there can be considered a super modern city, Cumana is not a village. It is perhaps a nice hybrid, where tourists walk on concrete but may face a seascape around every corner.
Although my original destination was Mochima, Cumana surprised me pleasantly and I received a present on the palate: pies, unforgettable gastronomic delight any Venezuelan coastal destination. The ones I tested were made by Teresa, an old lady who prepares memory while collecting, serves coffee and juices and is updated with regular customers. Indeed, fully exposed site offers no guarantee of hygiene but despite that - and who knows, maybe precisely because of that, "the empanadas were delicious. Once
Mochima, first met one of the many havens established in my own land. For those who do not know, Mochima is a national park that lies between Sucre and Anzoátegui states and is a gift contemplate the view from any angle. The clear blue waters, green hills and the many different beaches dotted around the park make it a tourist attraction undeniable. I could only enjoy Playa Blanca, where the sand will do honor to the name of the place and the restaurant La Negra offers a delicious cuisine, traditional and tasty.
I know that for the short time, never knew virtually nothing of Cumana, the eldest, and I need to make one, two, and thousands more visits to Mochima to fully enjoy this wonderful destination. The idea away bug me, I would: I have excuses for coming and hope to do soon. I take also to invite to local and foreign tourists and become closer to this territory that exhibits the best qualities of Venezuela, our battered but still impressive land of grace.
