We are fortunate. My country Venezuela is characterized by a tropical climate, but also depending on the area where the population we want to visit is located, we can have very temperate climates and we have climates with moderate temperatures, I mean places where the temperature allows us to have a balance between cold and heat. We also have populations very high above sea level where snow falls and such is the case of the Andes of Merida. There are towns where in the afternoons of certain months there is a very thick fog and the climate is very cozy. We also have populations with climates similar to the desert, with its accumulations of sand and characteristic heat. But today I am going to talk about the place where I am located, the state of Anzoátegui. This state is bordering with the state of Sucre, the region of which I speak is on the edge of the Caribbean Sea to be more exact in giving my location. Here we are surrounded by the coasts of the Sea. As we travel along the national highways that connect the coastal towns we can enjoy the beautiful images of the sea, as well as its characteristic fauna and flora. Our beaches are beautiful, they all have fine stones, soft, yellow sand. Many of the beaches have calm waters and others are characterized by their strong waves, they sound when they collide with their fine sands, this sound does not usually disturb those who know these beaches we visit. You can arrive early in the morning and see the beach very tame and when the hours pass the sea is getting rougher and throws its waves to those who carelessly don’t take the provisions. The waves will push you and will make you spend a moment of fun or disgust, for the water is salty and will sting your eyes and throat. But it's nothing that a good refreshing drink won't take away and maybe you'll decide to come back for the other experience of being tossed around by the waves. It's fun on the shore, moving away from it, the waves are calm and it takes you up and down, it’s truly relaxing. But there are other beaches with their gentle calm waters that will never pound you, they will lure you to sleep in their pleasant waters and in all these waters you can watch the little fishes as they play around you. In my youth I used to go with friends or my family to bathe in these delightful waters. Nowadays I don't look so much for the sea water. I like to enjoy the landscape more than the waters, because the sun comes with such inclemency that it can change the color of my skin in just 30 minutes and I go from white to red, like a tomato. Now in these days of incandescent sun, even exposure to the indirect sun burns the skin. You can't go to the beach without sunscreen, no matter how beautiful and pleasant the waves and the blue sky look, you must first use sunscreen on your skin and then enjoy yourself. This is a sunset at one of the nearest beaches, it’s 15 minutes away by car if there is traffic.  It’s called *Lido* Beach, in the city of *Lecheria*. I’ll tell you that it was my favorite place to go fishing in the afternoons, while the children bathed on the seashore, the adults stayed fishing on the nearest islet.

This is the same beach but more distant from the previous one, it’s located in a place called the acoustic shell of Lechería.  The sunset in this place is dreamy, don't you think? Here there are some sidewalks where tourists and all the families from the surrounding area usually stroll in the evenings, I used to take my son when he was little to ride his bike in the afternoons and then in the evenings we used to go for a walk… It brings back many fond memories.

This is a panoramic view from *El Morro de Lechería*, tourist site par excellence. You can enjoy this image of the Caribbean Sea Coast, beyond you can see the islands that are closer to us. This viewpoint is visited by many people at night, while during the day the beaches all around El Morro are visited by bathers.

This beach is located on the road to Sucre state. It’s 30 minutes, 45 minutes tops, from my place to get there, it’s a beach very visited by tourists.

It should be said that in this date of pandemic our beaches are not crowded as they werw back then. We can go from time to time, with those of us who have family members who can take us there in their cars, but in other times these photos had so many people in them that it was impossible to find free space. Those of us who live near these beautiful beaches can consider ourselves lucky. I hope you enjoyed my pictures, thanks to all my readers and to my sponsors for their constant support. Special thanks to @lykelyca for renewing their sponsorship.
