Lovely city - to visit during brakes - in short, we agree again. I love the ocean and, I love the beach....I do also however, love my freedom to live in the space of anonymity a bigger city provide...not that I dislike all other Europeans but, to end up living close among them when I finally can come down - no thanks! I appreciate my alone-ness and privacy too much..😊 (maybe I have a reason to leave, what I call "the old black continent" - who knows..) Have or, will you visit any of the cities in the Amazonas!? Thanks for sharing!!
I do live here, and it's not so much too small but too spread out. Takes forever to get to decent shopping, and the Mercado is tiny. Most shopping is beyond where you shot the video, including into LA libertad. It took me a moment to place your Gringo pricing location. I'd been there one time, far too soon after living in Cuenca 2 months. To be sure, hyped up by expats, did not live up to the hype. I'm questioning expats experience with good food and espresso drinks. And yes, thank goodness Sweet and Coffee got here before I did. The place in chipipe at the beginning? Opens 4pm. Imagine a coffee spot specifically about coffee, not open in the morning? Who does that lol
We feel like we have yall w/ us too lol. Apryl: We should go see the sea lions. Rondel: girl I ain't trying to see no sea lions. Apryl our subs probably want to see them...Us: guess we going to see some sea lions 😁😅🤣
You need to go during March when the weather is hot and the water is warm. You have many people from both the coast and the Highlands hitting the beaches and it gets packed. You have to see whether or not you can also withstand that level of heat because it gets intense
Thank you For the tren info. Committed to spending my first year in Cuenca. Love it. Taking my first exploratory trip to the coast next week. Salinas to Olon . Next month Manta. Enjoy your vids. Your personality and zest match the Ecuadorian citizens I have come to know here in the mountains. Living in Cuenca has melted away any fears of living in South America. I will venture to the coast with eyes wide open . Just like I would do traveling to the coast in the USA. Thanks again for the valuable content.
I agreed guys some places the food is just way too expensive I mean not even in New York. good point suscribing to your channel now, I am ecuadorean thanks for showing my beautiful country.
I m Retire from the States Two years ago...Currently living in Salinas...I Bought an Aparment there I never regret...Is a Wonderfull City The Natives here Call Salinas the Little Miami...I agree with Then Salinas Malecon Remind me South Beach in Miami...Very Nice People...This City have To Much to Offer ...La Chocolatera...La Loberia...and Much much More...
Awesome video as usually I feel like I know you forever ♾️ my friends pretty cool vibes!! Both of you are awesome 🤩 loved your videos, I’m sharing as we speak! Have a good one!
Glad to be part of your journey to 50K! Love your videos and keep them coming. I'm in the early stages of planning a move to Cuenca (a couple of years out).
I absolutely loved Salinas when we visited in February. The crime spree seems to be on the rise...we didn't have any issues. We even walked daily from the Malecon area to the Super Maxi with no problems. Our next trip we plan to see Quito and Cuenca.
The best time to visit Salinas is between dec-march. But, any way…..enjoy it guys. And a very very nice places to visit over there are: 1.- “Farallón Dillon”……is a beautiful bar-hotel-restaurant in ballenita town….a little expensive…..but it really worth…and… 2.- “baños de San Vicente”…which is a thermal pools with excellent quality of water for health…..and mud…… Enjoy guys
Hola you guys 👋🏽 Looking forward to seeing your deeper dive into Salinas. Love the ocean, not the crime. That makes me sad cause I do so love being by the water and the Pacific Ocean is my favorite water spot! Maybe that is why folks were talking about Playas as opposed to Salinas, as it’s not quite as popular (yet)?
You guys have had a great vibe the last few videos and seem happy there! Almost got me moving back to Ecuador (LOL) but maybe not touristic Salinas, which is great for short term.
The weather on the coast is moderated by an offshore current, the cold Humboldt current. how far or close to the coast it's variable over the year. in june/july when the Whales are migrating past heading south the current is close in. this gives the region a cool cloudy climate here, in the high season from december thru to march the current is further off shore and this allows a warmer close in counter current that brings those blue skies, and a bright all day sunshine, it also brings the rain inland thats why its the high season for the likes of Guayaquil, the locals head for the beaches to get away from the humidity. Even on hazy days anytime of the year the UV can give fierce burns after a short time. renting a carpa or parasol be careful of the suns shadow it moves quickly and your feet peeking out can get serious sunburn. One thing about "choclatera" right out on the tip of that penninsula, you are the furthest west you can get on dry land in South America, Not so long ago there was a small plaque there about it on the triangulation station, the small concrete monument thing there. The prices are the same for locals too, the prices reflect that the tourist high season is seasonal at mainly weekends, many weekends the place starts closing down on sunday afternoon, as the weekenders head back to Guayaquil. come Monday the place is virtually abandoned, as even the resturant operators have gone to their weekday jobs. Many times having decided to return to Guayaquil on the monday morning, Ive had to pay up on the sunday, and let myself out of a hostel monday morning. just a security guard/cleaner in atendance.
Yes, but a lot of locals don't generally pay that price they know the regular good spots to go to. Those are the spots that I would like to find. Places where the people that live there regularly dine, some cool and inexpensive places. away from the strip. Regarding the weather patterns thanks for the information. I still wish we could have timed it a bit better but all is well and we are enjoying the daily flow of Salinas.
Salinas. Not exactly the rustic, “hippiesh” beach ex-pats tend to like. Montañita used to be such spot. People who choose Salinas choose it for its proximity (Guayaquil & Cuenca people) & for its calm waters which are good for kids. Quito people go to the beaches up north. There were some waves at Salinas while you there because the cold current Humboldt is around. The same current that is making everything cold as in not just the ocean water but the air too. Totally different story in December when El Niño season kicks off. Salinas is a bustling town but it’s seasonal. People usually go there when school is out because they go with the whole family. July & August for sierra people while coastal people’s school is out in March and April.
You’ll be at 50k before the new year! The cost of living increases are global and it is causing a global rise in crime. The world is shifting; people are moving like crazy. I don’t think the dust will settle for at least another 2-3 years. I need to learn basic Spanish and Zulu🤣
Yes, we spoke to some realtors here and there is flight from all over the world....ppl don't kniw where to hide their investments or where to go. Such interesting times we're living through.
The Crime Just Started in Costal Ecuador and the Ruta del Sol Since the Beginning of 2022 hence the Reason that I Left the Coast & moved to the Andes, 4SHO
That's not an average restaurant tho, it is a bit in that neighborhood which is popular with expats but also locals. Many locals or from the city are pretty wealthy. There are fortunately many places with reasonable pricing. You may have to dig a little to find them 😉 and walk a bit farther. But even so, prices will be higher than cuenca, tho 2.50 to 3.00 vs 3.50 to 4 for full almuerzas? Not going to complain

@@Jetmab04 Probably not...we're looking at places we think we would consider living and...we don't think that area is what we're looking for.

It's winter time so itbis cooler 😎 but, usually the water is warm. Salinas is a suburb for many rich people from Guayaquil....
Yes, we heard it was their playground.
Another great video! I always feel as if I am right there with you.
We feel like we have yall w/ us too lol. Apryl: We should go see the sea lions. Rondel: girl I ain't trying to see no sea lions. Apryl our subs probably want to see them...Us: guess we going to see some sea lions 😁😅🤣

👋🏾 Nice seeing you!
Nice beutiful Ecuador
I hope you hugs reach your milestone...50.000, 100.000.00....you have tale the charisma to do it.
Appreciate you fam!
Hey Yarbros, thank you guys. This looks amazing. I'm very excited to see this place. Love it!
You need to go during March when the weather is hot and the water is warm. You have many people from both the coast and the Highlands hitting the beaches and it gets packed. You have to see whether or not you can also withstand that level of heat because it gets intense
I am game to find out if we can take the heat....We also hear that New Years here is a HUGE Fiesta!
Thanks!
Likewise!
June-Srptember are cold months. December-February are hot and the Humboldt current is warmer.
Thanks!
Thanks for the video The prices seem high. .The crime is alarming .Be careful
Prices are high in certain olaces but local prices are great!

It's an easy place to fall in love with! Hopefully the crime will subside. From the people we speak to it seems to be cyclical so hopefully 🤞🏾

We'll look into them! Appreciate you!
Awesome! I love the beach vibe:) Muchas Gracias for sharing:)
De nada! Thanks for watching!
Y'all so silly 😂🤣😂 I love it.

Great video as always guys! Greetings from Panama!
Hola!
Great honest take. I was there a few times back around 2001-2004 during carnaval. It was so much fun. But yes I do hear crime is an issue these days.
Yes, its a fun city...we hope the crime wave goes away soon. Really cool little beach town.
You guys have had a great vibe the last few videos and seem happy there! Almost got me moving back to Ecuador (LOL) but maybe not touristic Salinas, which is great for short term.
Beautiful place wish we would have been here w/ the sunshine...😔
The People That You See In The Ocean are People Either Fram The Sierras City's Of The Amazon or People Fram The Andes (aka) Quenca, Loja & Vilcabamba
I always send my worker to get my pickup fixed. Always a lot cheaper that way in Mexico.
That makes sense. Sounds like a reliable hand!
Yeah the prices are high across the beach but you can go like 2 street back you be good
And we did lol
Wow nice video about Salinas, hope you enjoy.
Thanks! 😃
Hey Bro, if you are from Michigan, that water is “Refreshing”. :-)
Aye! We only hit yhe Beach at 75° or better where I'm from.
@@TheYarbros im teasing you! ha ha .enjoy
Going To Manta Hope to Meet You
Guys and Buy Dinner
Cool! See you around. We'll be here for a couple of more weeks!
The funny thing is that the gringos pay that outrageous prices with a Smile !!
Yes...it breaks my heart. But uk different strokes for different folks.

That stuff they were scraping into curls with a spatula was ice cream? Explain please.
It's like pure cream and chocolate frozen on a freezing slab then scrapped up. Fresh ice cream 😋
Are you still in Salinas. I arrived last night.
No, were in a different country.
How are the handicapped amenities? Can a mobility-scooter get around from place to place? Or just cobblestones everywhere?
A mobility scooter would get around just fine there. We saw them everywhere.
Sounds like my speed, but not the prices. That’s probably why they are getting robbed, because they know you have to have money to be there.
It's a whole story behind that too....There is a FB group of gringos yhey list their favorite restaurants...thise are the ones being targeted 😐
@@TheYarbros They put that target on their backs huh… Times are tough, people better take some precautions for real, especially in a foreign land.
