Far from its sophisticated jewelry and perfume stores, large hotels or varied restaurants, the island has a saved secret that is worth discovering in the city of San Nicolás, located at the southern end of the island, where its native populationLive in that beautiful mixture of colors, flavors, languages and accents.Monumental murals adorn the houses of their traditional sector, where the tourist does not appear yet. Por ello, sacar una mañana de sol para caminar con calma por las calles de San Nicolás significa encontrar una gran muestra cultural, plasmada en las fachadas de las casas que conservan ese estilo holandés que evocan su origen.
Touring this city implies entering the history of the island to discover that beyond its beaches there is a country with a diversity of cultures, thanks to the more than 80 nationalities that gather there. Y aunque el holandés es la lengua oficial, el español, el papiamento y el inglés son los idiomas que se hablan por doquier entre sus habitantes, lo que refleja toda una mezcla que ha permitido, entre otros aspectos, una explosión de muestras artísticas que dio pie recientemente a la primera Feria de Arte en Aruba.This exhibition, produced by Pure Aruba Events Foundation in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism, Primary Sector and Culture, opened a space for their own and foreign artists settled in the region, in order to make visible their works.Como resultado de todo este trabajo, Aruba vive hoy una explosión de manifestaciones artísticas, y el turista tiene también la posibilidad de conocer exposiciones de pintura, artesanía y los murales, en una zona que poco a poco se está convirtiendo en el distrito artístico de la isla, que, como en grandes ciudades del mundo, se han ganado espacios para darle paso al arte en medio de calles y avenidas.
Galería callejeraThe idea, which arose to Óscar Bolívar after knowing and touring the murals in Bogotá, seeks to rescue an area that had been forgotten and was deteriorating after the closure of the refinery that existed there.Lo que se pretende es convertir a San Nicolás en un distrito de arte con distintas expresiones culturales, porque, además de un conjunto de murales, se puede visitar una que otra galería, tomar cursos de pintura, artesanías, y se pueden saborear platos típicos en los restaurantes más autóctonos de la isla.Of course the attention is stolen from the murals. Son más de 16 hechos por artistas provenientes de distintas partes del mundo: Portugal, México, Kazajistán, Países Bajos, Argentina, Curazao y Alemania, que utilizaron las fachadas como lienzos, las calles como pretexto y la belleza exuberante de una isla que invita a ser conocida hasta en sus últimos rincones.Therefore, it is worth renting a car and even taking the bus that easily travels the island, in order to know more than the beauty of its beaches;It is also about knowing its roots, in this area that has become an artistic and cultural district.
Si usted vaColombians do not need a visa to enter, but they must show their yellow fever vaccination certificate at their entry.Aruba's official currency are the florines, but American dollars also circulate.The average annual temperature is 27 degrees Celsius, so it is recommended to wear light and fresh clothes.CLAUDIA CERÓN CORALPARA THE TIME ** INVITATION OF THE TOURISM OF ARUBA
