They don't care the distances to travel, sometimes superiors to the hundred of kilometers, or the difficulties to make it. Neither are impediments trifles like the fatigue of a previous night of parties or some years in the almanac.

During June, July and August, (although in fact the phenomenon extends with more or smaller intensity during the whole year) the people of Camagüey for thousands rushes to the (re)conquist of their beaches.

Santa Lucía, Santa Cruz, Port Pilot, The Caneyes and Beach Florida are the more mentioned and important points of the regional geography again. Toward them travel thousands of people of Camagüey and arrived visitors of other counties daily and even beyond opposite, all aided by the common credo of the sun and the sea.

Even some how many hours are enough for “to load piles”, to appropriate of dozens of snails and shells for friends and family, or to teach to swim to the smallest in the family; but mainly, to return as before made it parents and grandparents, to that same sea, beginning and final of the Island, where everything began.(Amaury Valdivia)
