SEMANA SANTA

Magic words for those who like to Party and for those who like to avoid the crowds and music. Spring Break time at El Yaque Beach, already for a couple of Years the windy Village almost got more famous with the crazy Semana Santa week, than with all the Windsurf Worldchampions who call El Yaque their home. And it just started again and might be the most crowded Party week ever. Lots of Party Publicity in Radio and TV will bring even more people and make most Windsurf and Kitesurf Centers close during this week, at least after midday. Already during the first day the little village just exploded, while usually it happened that THE days of the week were thursday, friday and saturday, this year it all started all a week earlier. El Yaque News will provide you with the most recent images here and at the El Yaque News Facebook page......

Carnaval Resume

Carnaval is over, the people have gone back home, to work, school etc. . After a pretty slow start into Carnaval holidays, the remaining days as there were sunday until tuesday, just got pretty busy at El Yaque Beach, with the Beach almost as crowded as we know it from Semana Santa, same for the roads and parking spaces. Right after Carnaval El Yaque came back to normality, peoplewise, the wind has dropped for a day but it just might be the silence before the big storm, as the forecasts for all upcoming days is just amazing with strong winds and some swell rolling in...  well, El Yaque swell, as the Beach is pretty well protected there will be some amazing Bump and Jump Conditions for all Wind - and Kitesurfers... we got some more images of the Carneval week for you before we come up with some mayor action....

Carnavales 

Last day of the 2012 Carnaval, the festivities close today, in Venezuela with another day of "Ley Seca" so alcohol sale. While at the Cities of Porlamar, Juan Griego, San Juan, La Asuncion impressive Carnaval Parades went through the streets, in El Yaque it became another Party week, with lots of festivities at the Beach Day and Night and many people visiting the little Village and after a slow start in the end at most days the streets and Beaches of El Yaque reached their limits and especially saturday and sunday it almost looked like the famous Semana Santa week.

El Yaque News still got some Carnaval Parade images for you....

Carnival Holidays at El Yaque Beach

The predictions about national tourism during the Carnival Days all talked about a very full and crowded Island during those four to five days, with all flights and ferries booked out and no space in Hotels left. Actually it is much calmer than expected at El Yaque Beach, while the LOcal Beach stayed almost empty the first two Carnival days, the touristic site also hasn´t been that crowded so far, so not as many cars as El Yaque is used to in those days, still empty sunbeds and hotelrooms. THose who came to El Yaque certainly enjoy the nice colours and pure sunshine plus the Windsurf and Kitesurf Action on the water....  El Yaque News got the first images for you.......

Local Beach reconstructions continue

A few days before Christmas the reconstruction of the Local Beach in El Yaque, downwind of the Windsurf and Kitesuf Area and upwind of the new Kitearea started but had to be interupted for the Christmas holidays. This week the Trucks loaded with fresh sand and rocks started their engines again to finish the work, extend the wavebreakers and fill in the empty beach with some fresh white sand. So far the work looks really good and promising and it seems as it would all be finished before the next little highseason, Carnival, which will start in ten days.

Impressions

Another week in 2012 just finished, the week after the christmas holidays, where thousands of national tourists invaded El Yaque Beach. Now we got the first more quiet impressions of the week for you...  enjoy also the rest of our Pics of the week section...
