ʻO ka huaʻōlelo Maruata, ma ka ʻōlelo Purépecha, "ma hea kahi mau mea makamae." ʻO ia ke aʻa o Maravatio (Maravatío) a manaʻo mākou ma kēlā me kēia kahakai o Michoacán pili pono kēia wehewehe.
ʻOiai he nui ka poʻe i kapa iā ia ʻo Costa Brava o Michoacán, he wahi mālie kēia wahi, kahi ʻano o ke ʻano. ʻO ia ke kumu e hōʻoia ai mākou ʻo ke kahakai holoʻokoʻa o Michoacán ʻo Maruata.
I ke komo ʻana i ka panalāʻau o Michoacan, ma ka Camino de las 200 Playas, ʻike mākou iā Faro de Bucerías, kahi kahakai me ke one melemele mānoanoa a me nā nalu ikaika. Hoʻokahi wale nō hale ʻaina ona, hiki i kona komo i loko o kahi āpau i pili i ke ala nui helu 200. Hiki iā ʻoe ke lawaiʻa a ʻauʻau mālie paha
Aia pū kekahi ʻo San Telmo, Peñitas a me Playa Corrida. ʻO ka mua he kai kūʻono liʻiliʻi me ke komo paʻakikī i ka ʻāina, hiki ke ʻike wale ʻia mai ke ala. Aia kona nani i ke one keʻokeʻo a me ka maluhia o kona wai aniani. ʻAʻohe lawelawe. ʻO ka lua o ke oneʻeleʻele, a ʻoi aku ka ikaika o ka nalu a kaulike ʻole.
Paipai mākou iā ʻoe e akahele i ka ʻauʻau ʻana, no ka mea, ikaika loa ka ʻikena. Aia nā palapa a puni ke kahakai.
Ma hope koke iho, ʻo ka hale liʻiliʻi pōkole o San Juan de Alima. Hoʻomau mākou i ka hema, hala mākou i kahi kahakai hoʻokipa ʻoluʻolu ʻole, ʻo Colola, a hōʻea mākou i ka nuku o kahi lagoon.
Aia mākou i Maruata. Ma ke alo o nā pali a me nā kahakai hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i kahi ʻauwaha mokupuni e hana ana ma ke ʻano he breakwater maoli. Pākuʻi huhū ke kai i ke kai kū kiʻekiʻe. Hoʻonui nā mea heʻe nalu i nā ana he nui a me nā puka aniani i wehe ʻia e ka wai.
Haki ke kahakai, me nā pali kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe a pali hoʻi. Hele kekahi poʻohiwi o ka mauna i ke kai. ʻO ka nalu, ke kū mai ka undertow, hihi me ke kaniʻuhū me he mea lā he ola ko lākou. ʻO nā ʻeke keʻokeʻo a me nā ʻōlinolino o ka wai ma lalo o ke kaomi e piʻi i mau mika i ke kiʻekiʻe, a kōkua i ka hiʻona nui o ke kūlohelohe. ʻO ka napoʻo ʻana o ka lā ma Maruata kahi hanana nui ia. ʻĀlohilohi ka wai a me ke one me ke aniani gula a me ka poni. Hoʻohui ʻia, aia ʻo Maruata ma ka wāwae o ke Alaloa 200.
ʻOiaʻiʻo hiki iā ʻoe ke leʻaleʻa i nā kahakai ma o ka ʻauʻau maikaʻi ʻana. Akā inā ʻaʻole ʻoe makemake, e kipa i nā coves. ʻaʻole ʻoe e mihi. E noʻonoʻo, no ka laʻana, ua hana ʻo El Castillo i ka pā e ka nalu e like me nā moena o ke kai; kahi hana pōhaku kupaianaha maoli. E nānā i nā kaukani manu e lele i luna o nā nalu e ʻimi nei i kā lākou meaʻai a kū iki e mahalo i ka lau nahele ulu. ʻO Maruata nā mea āpau āpau a ʻoi aku, ʻoiai ʻaʻole lawa kāna lawelawe. Akā e hoʻomau i kā mākou ala i nā kahakai o Michoacán.
