The Best Holidays

 

The best holidays by far, was in Tongoy, in 2016, a seaside resort in the Coquimbo region, with very nice beaches, beautiful wetlands and relatively close to the Elquí Valley. It was a week in the company of my parents and grandparents, enjoying in a great way the gastronomy and beaches of the place, more specifically eating fish, shrimp empanadas with cheese, ceviche, to then rest for a while in the cabin and go to Socos beach.

But one day was the most special of all, because my family and I got up early to go to the famous Elquí Valley, it was a long trip, but it was worth it, because first we went to the Envalse Puclaro, in a cloudy day, which meant big winds, that could make you fall, it was a wonderful sight, to see all that water stored there, then we saw all those colorful vineyards that you can see from the road, and finally we arrived to Vicuña, the city where Gabriela Mistral was born and where her museum is located, particularly this was what we came to see, since my grandfather loves poetry and the history of the great poetess, I was impressed by the rooms, old objects and writings that were there, it was an exhausting day, but it was what crowned a dream vacation for me.
