A different route through the city (Eng/Esp)
English version
When I go out for a walk for fun, I make a point of taking alternative routes to the ones I usually take. I'll reach the same destination but by a different route, which has led me to explore and learn more about the city. This time I was in downtown Cumaná, and instead of walking through Bolívar Square, I decided to take La Ermita Street, which runs from the Basilica of Santa Inés to General Salom Street, passing behind Bolívar Square and the Sucre State Government building.
It is usually a very quiet street, narrow because it is one-way, and well remembered by older people because there used to be a plaza and a public fountain there, where residents of the San Francisco, Mundo Nuevo, and Miramar neighborhoods would come to collect water to take to their homes. At that time, the city had dirt roads.
There is still a sense of nostalgia when walking down La Ermita Street, where you can see buildings from the last century that look dilapidated but still refuse to fall down. Houses made of cane and wattle and daub coexist with more modern buildings. It could be said that part of La Ermita remains frozen in time. You can still see what used to be the Santa Inés Bakery, a very traditional place that, until a few years ago, was an almost obligatory stop for those who left mass and went to buy sweet and savory breads there.
The contrast between La Ermita Street and Plaza Bolívar is striking: one resists succumbing to the modernity that transforms everything, while the other is a symbol of the new era. This time, I walked surrounded by history, tradition, and memories.

Al salir a caminar por diversión tengo presente tomar rumbos alternativos a los acostumbrados, llegaré al mismo destino pero por otro camino, lo que me ha llevado a explorar y conocer más de la ciudad. Esta vez estaba en el centro de Cumaná y en lugar de transitar por la plaza Bolívar, opté por irme vía calle La Ermita, la cual se extiende desde la Basílica de Santa Inés hasta la calle General Salom, es decir pasa por detrás de la plaza Bolívar y de la Gobernación del estado Sucre.
Suele ser una calle muy tranquila, es angosta porque es de una sola vía y es muy recordada por personas de avanzada edad porque allí se encontraba una plaza y una fuente pública, donde los residentes de los sectores San Francisco, Mundo Nuevo y Miramar acudían a recolectar agua para llevar a sus respectivas casas, entonces la ciudad tenía caminos de tierra.
Todavía se respira algo de nostalgia al pasar por la calle La Ermita, se pueden ver construcciones del siglo pasado que lucen agonizantes, pero aún se niegan a caer. Casas de caña y bahareque coexisten con edificaciones más modernas. Se puede decir que una parte de La Ermita permanece congelada en el tiempo, todavía se puede ver la que antes era la Panadería Santa Inés, sitio muy tradicional que hasta hace algunos años atrás, era parada casi obligada para quienes salían de misa e iban a comprar panes dulces y salados allí.
El contraste entre la calle La Ermita y la Plaza Bolívar es abismal, una se resiste a sucumbir ante la modernidad que todo lo transforma y la otra es un símbolo de los nuevos tiempos. Esta vez caminé rodeado de historia, de tradición y de recuerdos.
