Rain, the beach, and wild waves in Maigualida (Eng/Esp)

English version

Maigualida Beach is charming; I loved visiting it during school vacation, as the festive atmosphere was perfect for having a good time and taking in the excitement of the children playing there, which made me enjoy my stay here for several hours.

However, I was very surprised by how the scene changed in the middle of the afternoon. In the morning, the water was calm and crystal-clear; plus, there weren’t that many tourists—the beach was quiet and peaceful. After noon, the atmosphere began to change; the beach filled with people, and the water turned dark and choppy.

I was really struck by how the water changed—it was no longer the paradise I’d seen that morning, and the sky even grew dark, with rain clearly on the horizon. Before, I could see right through the crystal-clear water, but then it became murky and filled with algae; the waves also grew violent, as if the sea wanted to drive the swimmers away—it was a little scary. That’s when I realized just how powerful it is and how quickly it can shift from one state to another.

The sky, with its black clouds, warned that a downpour could break out at any moment—thankfully, I’d managed to enjoy myself quite a bit while the sky was bright and blue. As for me, I started packing up to head back, but other beachgoers—mostly young people—continued to enjoy the beach, unconcerned by the storm.

After all, we have to cherish every moment, and as Ricardo Arjona would say: “Either learn to love the thorn, or don’t accept roses.” That’s why we have to make the most of the beach in all its phases and live each scene that nature offers us to the fullest. It’s not the first time the rain has caught me by surprise at the beach, but years of experience have taught me that heading back in the middle of a downpour puts you at risk of catching a cold—or something even worse.

La playa Maigualida es encantadora, me encantó visitarla en época de vacaciones escolares, pues el ambiente festivo era perfecto para pasarla bien y sentir la algarabía de los niños jugando en el lugar, lo que me hizo disfrutar mi estadía aquí durante varias horas.

Sin embargo, me sorprendió mucho cómo el paisaje cambió en mitad de la tarde. En la mañana, las aguas eran tranquilas y cristalinas, además, no había tantos turistas, la playa estaba solitaria y se respiraba paz. Después del mediodía, el ambiente comenzó a transformarse, la playa se llenó de gente y el agua se puso oscura y turbulenta.

Me llamó mucho la atención cómo el agua cambió, dejó de ser el paraíso que se apreciaba en la mañana e inclusive el tiempo se tornó oscuro, con evidente amenaza de lluvia. Por ello antes podía mirar a través del agua cristalina y luego pasó a opacidad y se llenó de algas, además las olas se tornaron violentas, como si el mar quisiera expulsar a los bañistas, daba un poco de miedo. Allí me di cuenta de su gran poder y cómo puede pasar de un estado a otro en poco tiempo.

El cielo avisaba con sus nubes negras que un aguacero podía desatarse de un momento a otro, menos mal que pude disfrutar bastante cuando el panorama era brillante y azul. En mi caso comencé a recoger todo para iniciar mi retorno, pero otros bañistas,sobre todo jóvenes, seguían disfrutando de la playa sin importarles el temporal.

Después de todo hay que valorar todos los momentos y tal como diría Ricardo Arjona: "o aprendes a querer la espina o no aceptes rosas", por eso hay que aprovechar la playa en todas sus etapas y vivir con intensidad cada escenario que nos brinda la naturaleza. No es la primera vez que la lluvia me sorprende en la playa, pero la experiencia de los años me ha enseñado que afrontar un viaje de retorno con un aguacero encima es un riesgo de resfriado o un malestar aún peor.

    The beach scenario was indeed beautiful and relaxing. I wish I could be there too. In case of the weather, it's indeed unpredictable in recent days. It would be better if you could stay there till the sunset time.
