There are fourteen beaches in the city, each one different from the other in various ways. In this case, what I found wonderful were the extraordinary promenades along Misericordia beach.
A while ago here on Hive, I mentioned that the city had many beaches, and someone commented that they hoped to see them all. Of course, it will take me a while to visit them all from east to west or vice versa, but I will do so little by little.
Misericordia Beach is the beach that continues on from San Andrés, which is the first beach west of the port. All of them are very long and have their own characteristics, each one has something that stands out from the others, sometimes imperceptibly and sometimes very noticeably.
As soon as I arrived at this beach, I noticed the difference between it and the others. I started the tour from the end of the beach, heading towards San Andrés beach.
I quickly realised that more than the beach itself, what makes this place stand out is the number of paths you can walk along, with different levels between them. There is even an exclusive bike path, which I did not see on the city's most touristy beach, La Malagueta.
I could see a lower path closer to the sand and therefore to the beach, then some stairs that led me to another path with benches and pergolas. Then another path exclusively for bicycles and finally another one full of palm trees, a wide path where the scenery varies along with playgrounds, another difference I found compared to the other beaches. This wide promenade is called the Antonio Banderas promenade.
Of course, like the other beaches, they have their characteristic beach bars where the famous espeto (skewered fish) and fried fish are served. Normally, many of them close during the winter, but as the summer season approaches and the tourists arrive, they reopen their doors.
There were playgrounds both on the sand and in the green areas, some of which had more shade than others, but you can always find a place where you feel comfortable.
Another new feature I found here is the water park, a very picturesque place where children and adults can enjoy a space where water is the star of the show in various games and there are large jets of water everywhere.
It is very relaxing to walk around these places looking out at the sea, the palm trees, the streetlights and the different areas. It is a very busy beach, but mainly for families, although the water park is classified as a tourist attraction.
In addition, this place has various access points along the entire route, including both stairs and ramps. This makes it a place for everyone, and in the shaded areas you can also find families or friends having picnics.
When I walk along a beach, I am always struck by the deep blue colour of the sky and how the palm trees stand out against that blue, as do the white buildings.
During my walk, I took a break to prepare the typical Argentine mate, this time with coffee, which is also delicious, and it is a great place to enjoy it while looking at the sea, the vegetation and the children playing.
Then I walked along the wider promenade, enjoying the views around me, the ever-present trees, the sky, the sea in the distance and lots of sun that gives life and strength.
It has been a spectacular walk, getting to know the entire length of La Misericordia beach, which is very beautiful indeed and very enjoyable.
Thank you all very much for accompanying me on this exploration. I send my warmest regards to everyone. See you soon.
