IMiramar itheku elincane lapho ukudoba kungumsebenzi ophambili wabantu bendawo. Izinhlobonhlobo zezinhlanzi zidayiswa emadolobheni angomakhelwane kanye nasezinqoleni ezingena olwandle, lapho unganambitha izinhlobo ezinhle kakhulu zezinhlanzi nezimbaza.
Lapha kujwayelekile ukuthola izivakashi zakwamanye amazwe ezijabulela ukuthula kwedolobha, isimo sezulu esishisayo esilizungezile namabhishi aso amahle, njengePlatanitos, etholakala kumakhilomitha ambalwa ukusuka ethekwini nalapho ungathola khona izinqolobane zezimfudu nezingwenya.
IPlatanitos umgoqo omkhulu ophakamisa ichibi elihle-ichweba, lapho kuhlangana khona inani elikhulu lezinyoni ezishisayo kusihlwa.
Okunye okukhangayo ngamabhishi aseManzanilla naseBoquerón, ibanga elifushane ukusuka ethekwini.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi lomphakathi omncane i-El Cora, amakhilomitha ayi-10 ukusuka eMiramar, kumi impophoma enhle enezimpophoma eziningana ezakha amachibi emvelo amancane aphakathi kohlaza oluminyene lwasendaweni eshisayo.
Ukusuka olwandle lwaseMiramar kuya ngasenyakatho ungabona isithabathaba esidala sekhulu le-19, enedokodo elicekeleke phansi ngaphambili, elizungezwe yizihlahla zikabhanana, amasimu ekhofi nezihlahla eziluhlaza, umfula uwela nje ngaphambi kokuthulula olwandle.
Maphakathi nekhulu le-19 iqembu lamaJalimane lahlala lapha elasungula izimboni ezichuma kakhulu. Ngakolunye uhlangothi lwendlu, eyakhiwa ngo-1850, usengabona ifektri endala yensipho kawoyela kakhukhunathi, eyathunyelwa kwamanye amazwe ngamachweba eSan Blas naseMazatlán.
Umnikazi wokuqala wale ndlu nefektri yensipho kwakunguDelius Hildebran, naye owakhuthaza ezolimo nokufuywa kwezingulube emphakathini omncane ongumakhelwane, i-El Llano; E-El Cora, kutshalwa ikhofi kanye nezimayini kwenziwa ngempumelelo enkulu, kwathi iLa Palapita yaba nesibalo esibalulekile sezimayini.
Yonke le bonanza yenzeke ngenxa yomsebenzi wamaNdiya aseCorus, ngaleso sikhathi ahlala esifundeni ngobuningi.
UNkk. Frida Wild, owazalelwa kulesi sithabathaba esidala eminyakeni eyishumi yesibili yekhulu lesibili, uyasitshela: “Ekuqaleni kwekhulu leminyaka ubaba, unjiniyela uRicardo Wild, wayengumphathi wendawo eMiramar nakulo lonke lolu hlu lwaqalwa AmaJalimane kusukela ngo-1850. Iningi labo lalivela enyakatho yeJalimane, ikakhulukazi eBerlin, kodwa laqashwa eHamburg. Amaningi awo ekuqaleni ayeqashwe yinkampani okwenziwa kuyo utshwala ePacific eMazatlán.
Ngesikhathi sami, okungukuthi, phakathi kweminyaka yamashumi amabili namashumi amathathu, impahla yonke yeqiwa yimigwaqo emibili ebalulekile namuhla esinyamalele futhi efike edolobheni elincane i-El Llano (4 km away): Hamburgo Street naseCalle de los Abesilisa Abakhazimulayo, lapho kwasakazeka khona izimoto ezazilethwe zivela eYurophu. Nsuku zonke ethekwini "El Cometa" kwesokunxele, isikebhe esasithatha uhambo olusheshayo sisuka eMiramar laya eSan Blas. Kwakukhona nesitimela esincane esasithwala izimpahla nemikhiqizo eyahlukahlukene eyavunwa ngaleso sikhathi (insipho, izinongo, upelepele, ukhokho, ikhofi, njll.) Esikhumulweni semikhumbi.
“Ngaleso sikhathi, phambi kwendlu kwakukhona ezinye izindlu lapho kwakuhlala khona imindeni engaphezu kweyishumi nanhlanu yonjiniyela baseJalimane.
“Nginawo kakhulu amasimu lapho abasebenzi baseCora bebeka khona ugwayi ukuze ome, babeka amaqabunga esundu ngaphezulu ukuze angomi ngokuphelele, khona-ke ugwayi waboshwa ngentambo walengiswa. Kwesinye isikhathi, esinye sezikebhe ezaziya eSan BIas, sithwala amathini oju, saphenduka; okwezinsuku onjiniyela kudingeke ukuthi bacwile emanzini ukuhlenga ngalinye lalawo makani. Kwakungumsebenzi okhandlayo futhi onzima, ngangicabanga kakhulu, ngamathini ambalwa alula oju; Kwaba lapho ngizwa ukuthi igolide elalikhishwe ezimayini i-El Llano ne-El Cora lalithuthwa ngalo.
“Ngaphandle kokungabaza amaqembu ebeyizenzakalo ezibaluleke kakhulu, futhi ebelindelwe kakhulu. Ngalezo zikhathi salungisa ugologo onezinsuku ezaqhamuka eMulegé eBaja California Sur. Iklabishi elimuncu njengaseJalimane lalingakaze liswele; Okokuqala siwafaka ngosawoti kanti ngaphezulu sifaka amasaka ensai sawalinda ukuba abile, bese siwapheka namasoseji akudala.
“Kwakudliwa isidlo sakusihlwa ukwamukela izivakashi ezibalulekile ezazifika njalo eMiramar. Kwakuyimibuthano emikhulu, amaJalimane adlala i-violin, isigingci ne-accordion, abesifazane babegqoka izigqoko ezinkulu ezimibalabala futhi yonke imininingwane yayiwubukhazikhazi obukhulu.
“Ngiyakhumbula ukuthi ekuseni ekuseni ngiphuma kuvulandi wami ngangibona abesilisa ogwini begqoke amasudi abo amade anemigqa yokugeza kanye nabesifazane begibela izinqola ezinhle ezazilethwa kubo bevela ezitebeleni. Futhi bekungokwesiko ukuthi zonke izivakashi nonjiniyela bakwaMiramar bachithe izinsuku ezimbalwa ku-Hotel Bel-Mar esanda kuvulwa eMazatlán. Enye yezinto engizikhumbula kakhulu yilolo hambo engalwenza nobaba wami oluya eziqhingini zaseMarías, ezazivele zingamajele ngaleso sikhathi; Besizophatha izimpahla, ngihlala ngihlala ebhulohweni lomkhumbi, ngibona iziboshwa ziphethe amasudi azo anemigqa namaketanga ezinyaweni nasezandleni.
“Kodwa ngaphandle kokungabaza inkumbulo yami ecace bha ngukuthi u-Okthoba 12, 1933. Sonke sasidla e-hacienda lapho abakwa-agraristas befika, banquma ucingo futhi babhubhisa uphahla; Sanqunywa, kwavulwa amasafesi kwavulwa wonke amadoda amadala, kubandakanya nobaba, aqoqelwa ngaphandle kwendlu: alengiswa khona lapho, akekho noyedwa kubo owasala ephila.
“U-El Chino, owayengumpheki, walanda izidumbu wazingcwaba. Bonke abesifazane nezingane baya eSan Blas naseMazatlán, iningi labo lalihambile phambilini, kwazise amahemuhemu okufika kwama-agraristas abelokhu engapheli izinsuku ezimbalwa.
Kusukela lapho impahla yahlala ishiywe, kwaze kwathi ngeminyaka engamashumi ayisithupha yatholwa ngumbusi wangaleso sikhathi wombuso, owenza ukubuyiswa nokwandiswa.
Ekushoneni kwakhe, indodana yakhe yayithengisa, futhi namuhla ingeyomndeni wakwaTepic, owakha ihhotela elincane, elintofontofo eduze kwendlu yokuqala enezinsizakalo ezinhle kunoma ngubani ofuna indawo enokuthula angachitha izinsuku ezimbalwa ukuphuka.
Emagatsheni etheku sincoma kakhulu indawo yokudlela "i-El Tecolote Marinero", lapho uzothanyelwa khona ngumnikazi wayo (uFernando).
UMA UYA EMIRAMAR
Ushiya idolobha laseTepic, thatha umgwaqo omkhulu wesifundazwe u-76 ubheke ogwini, ngemuva kokuhamba amakhilomitha angama-51 uzofika eSanta Cruz. Cishe ngamakhilomitha amabili ukuya enyakatho uzothola idolobhana elincane laseMiramar, lapho unganambitha izinhlobonhlobo zezinhlanzi nezinhlanzi zasolwandle.
