Recorrido por la zona de "La Nasa", calle la Marina en el Peñón

Continuing my tour of El Peñón, I’d like to share my visit to the "La Nasa" area, located at the entrance of Marina Street near a small beach pier. The name comes from a well-known bar named after the nasa—a traditional triangular fishing trap made of bamboo poles and wire. Used since ancient times for artisanal fishing, it is baited and cast into the water; fish can enter but cannot escape, thanks to an automatic closing mechanism.

This area features several open-air shelters (enramadas) where various activities take place and pop-up restaurants operate, serving hearty seafood stews and other dishes made from the day's catch. The area is known for these shelters, the La Nasa bar, and the beach's beautiful views. From here, you can see the mangroves and the Araya Peninsula, as well as a unique establishment that looks like an island; it is surrounded on both sides by water and a wall made of rock and branches. I was intrigued the moment I saw it and headed over; the views from there are incredible, and the place seems to float on the water
