Honestamente, hace 3 a\u00f1os no ten\u00eda idea d\u00f3nde quedaba Martinica. Luego de que una amiga me comentara sus planes de viajar, decid\u00ed abrir Google.<\/span><\/span>\u2019<\/span><\/span>Era parte de las Antillas Francesas.<\/span><\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a1Wow!<\/span><\/span> Me hab\u00eda olvidado completamente que exist\u00edan y eso que fui una de las mejores estudiantes de geograf\u00eda. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

En enero, una vez m\u00e1s Martinica volvi\u00f3 a mi mente. Esta vez mientras buscaba vuelos para escapar del fr\u00edo neoyorkino. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rep\u00fablica Dominicana, Barbados y M\u00e9xico<\/span><\/span> eran las opciones, pero la idea de ir al Caribe que pocos conocen me atra\u00eda mucho m\u00e1s. Y lo digo porque amigos, familia y compa\u00f1eros de trabajo tambi\u00e9n la desconoc\u00edan. Incluso, apostaban que estaba en el Mediterr\u00e1neo. <\/span><\/span>                   <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martinica es un pedacito de Francia,<\/span><\/span>\u2019<\/span><\/span>con un toque de sensualidad caribe\u00f1a y por supuesto playas paradisiacas.<\/span><\/span>                        <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cuando llegu\u00e9 a la tambi\u00e9n conocida \u201cIsla de las Flores\u201d, por la noche, las diminutas carreteras con rotondas, las placas de los carros y los letreros publicitarios me transportaban a los pueblos europeos. Sin contar su moneda, el euro, y su idioma, el franc\u00e9s. Aunque con los d\u00edas, escuchaba a muchos locales conversar<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span>en su lengua nativa, el criollo martiniqu\u00e9s o \u2018cr\u00e9ole\u2019. <\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"1C9E142F-4B5C-4ACF-BC24-F8243538F65F\"
Su poblaci\u00f3n es en su mayor\u00eda cat\u00f3lica. Cada comuna conserva su iglesia en la plaza principal.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Al arribar a \u2018Saint Anne\u2019 o Santa Ana, al sur de la isla, se acabaron las comparaciones. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Su clima tropical, la brisa del mar, el olor del ron a\u00f1ejo, las embarcaciones pesqueras, los<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span>yates y los sonidos de las bandas musicales eran suficientes para sentir y formar parte de esa atm\u00f3sfera<\/span><\/span>\u2019<\/span><\/span>caribe\u00f1a <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martinica es una isla volc\u00e1nica del archipi\u00e9lago de las Antillas. El Monte Pel\u00e9<\/span><\/span>e<\/span><\/span>es su volc\u00e1n activo y su excursi\u00f3n debe estar en la lista de \u201ccosas por hacer\u201d. En mi caso, definitivamente la playa me llamaba y mi parada fue la m\u00e1s famosa y hermosa de Martinica: \u2018Les Salines\u2019 o Salinas. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"DB9BC041-C7FE-4731-8101-33CF487328AE\"
\u2018Le Salines\u2019 o Salinas est\u00e1 ubicado al suroeste de la isla y a dos horas de la capital, Puerto de Francia.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cada rinc\u00f3n es una postal.<\/span><\/span>\u2019<\/span><\/span>Lo bordean las palmeras inclinadas, su arena fina y blanca; y el mar c\u00e1lido color turquesa.<\/span><\/span>\u2019<\/span><\/span>\u2018Les Salines\u2019 tiene un ambiente de paz y tranquilidad. No hay hoteles. Solo restaurantes peque\u00f1os y kioscos con \u2018souvenirs\u2019, carteras, pareos, vestidos\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Su playa m\u00e1 tur\u00edstica es Le Diamant o Diamante<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span>Es<\/span><\/span>\u2019<\/span><\/span>ancha y descansa sobre una bah\u00eda enmarcada en rocosas y verdes colinas, que desde el sur se observa como la forma de una mujer acostada. Al frente y en medio del Mar Caribe,<\/span><\/span>\u2019<\/span><\/span>una roca volc\u00e1nica de 175 metros de altura es ideal para bucear y disfrutar de<\/span><\/span>\u2019<\/span><\/span>la fauna marina <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

La roca fue parte de una erupci\u00f3n siglos atr\u00e1s.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Anse Dufour\u2019, al norte de Diamante es una de las m\u00e1s encantadoras.<\/span><\/span>\u2019<\/span><\/span>Est\u00e1 en una ensenada<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span>por lo que su ca\u00edda de sol es uno de los m\u00e1s m\u00e1gicos y espectaculares de la isla.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Del otro lado de la isla, ya en el oc\u00e9ano Atl\u00e1ntico tambi\u00e9n est\u00e1 \u2018L\u00e9 Robert\u2019, con el tour de los islotes. Puedes caminar por el mar y el agua sigue por los tobillos.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a1Siiiiii! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todos los d\u00edas, mi aventura en Martinica consist\u00eda en disfrutar nuevas playas y deleitarme en mi hora favorita: la del \u2018sunset\u2019, buscando locaciones para tener la mejor vista. Sin importar que fuera hasta en el cementerio, como en \u2018Saint Anne\u2019. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"5E7D0B38-A61D-4219-87FB-05336941AD5E\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Fue en este peque\u00f1o pueblo<\/span><\/span>-<\/span><\/span>con no m\u00e1s de 4.000 habitantes<\/span><\/span>-<\/span><\/span>donde me hosped\u00e9 por casi una semana. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Santa Ana o Sainte-Anne como el resto de Martinica no tiene un turismo masivo. Casi no ves extranjeros.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span>Es un destino para jubilarse. Lo que lo convierte a\u00fan m\u00e1s pac\u00edfico. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pero, es tan c\u00e1lido que te hace sentir local y desde que la pisas, te sientes bienvenido<\/span><\/span>\u2019<\/span><\/span>En especial cuando entras a la panader\u00eda por el fresco y caliente pan \u2018baguette\u2019, haces fila para probar los famosos \u2018accras\u2019 o frituras bacalao y camar\u00f3n o cuando en la noche luego de bailar te sientas en el \u00fanico sitio que no tiene hora de cierre la creper\u00eda de<\/span><\/span>\u2019<\/span><\/span>Charles. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Y, es en este sitio<\/span><\/span>\u2019<\/span><\/span>donde<\/span><\/span>te<\/span><\/span>sientes parte de la comunidad.<\/span><\/span>te<\/span><\/span>Mientras esperas por tus crepes, Charles te presta su equipo de sonido para que pongas tu m\u00fasica favorita. Para mi buena suerte era uno de los pocos (por no decir el \u00fanico que hablaba espa\u00f1ol). Su alegr\u00eda y su buena energ\u00eda es contagiosa y con \u00e9l, el ron y la cerveza local Lorraine nunca falt\u00f3. As\u00ed el resto del pueblo est\u00e9 apagado.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As\u00ed es que en Martinica el ron forma parte de la rutina diaria. <\/span><\/span>A lo largo de las carreteras est\u00e1n los sembr\u00edos de ca\u00f1a de az\u00facar junto a las destiler\u00edas donde uno puede hacer una peque\u00f1a parada de degustar las diferentes variaciones de \u00e9ste esp\u00edritu caribe\u00f1o. En la calle, playa y restaurantes el famoso \u2018ti punch\u2019 (ron, az\u00facar y lim\u00f3n) es la estrella y la firma de la isla. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Y para anotarlo. Cero resaca. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martinica es el secreto mejor guardado de los franceses.<\/span><\/span>\u2019<\/span><\/span>Es un hermoso lugar para vacacionar en familia o retirarse.<\/span><\/span>-<\/span><\/span>Para disfrutar de lo simple y pl\u00e1cido que puede convertirse la vida, donde lo \u00fanico que necesitas es tu bikini, bronceador, una c\u00e1mara fotogr\u00e1fica y un buen vaso de ron. <\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
