I wish with all my heart to know Cumana someday, and publications like this one rekindle that feeling. My choral group performed there when it was the 500th anniversary of Cumaná, I think it was with Gustavo Dudamel. My wife was there, but I had not yet joined. We are still waiting for that promised tour to the east of the country hahaha. Thanks for sharing Blekys, it's a great post.
Greetings @jesuslnrs, Cumaná has beautiful tourist attractions ranging from beaches mountains to outstanding buildings of colonial origin; ah yes the commemoration of the 500 years of its founding was a great event that brought together people from different regions of the country. I hope that in the near future this tour will take place and you can finally visit and get to know Cumana.
Happy Tuesday!
