La Carmencita Del Puerto
“Going tapas" has nothing to do with the size of your dish, it has to do with what is in the dish and how you eat it.“Going tapas” means sharing....
Legend has it that Lanzaroteña Carmencita was a girl who was born into this world in the early 19th century, she was pure of heart nature had been generous with her, she was the most beautiful girl in the village. She fell in love with a man they told her not to. Cienfuegos Perdomo a smuggler and pirate.
He smuggled camels from the african mainland to Arrecife and preyed upon other boats as the opportunity presented itself.
Carmencitas love for Cienfuegos proved strong, he had decided to give up his wicked life after his next run for a life with Carmencita His luck didn´t hold out it seems and he never returned
Some say he died fighting other pirates, or he'd been enslaved, but most likely he was another of king Neptunes victims.
For ten years Carmencita went to the port daily, waiting for her man, on the tenth year in dispare she threw herself to the mercy of the ocean. She was never seen again, except for the local fishermen who reported seeing her and hearing her wailing in pain, looking for her love.
Dice la leyenda que Carmencita era una chica Lanzaroteña que vino al mundo a principios del XIX, que la naturaleza fue generosa con ella convirtiéndose en la chica mas guapa de los alrededores, que se enamoro de un contrabandista, medio pirata, llamado Cienfuegos Perdomo.
Cienfuegos se dedicaba al contrabando de camellos, animal muy valorado en la Isla por aquel entonces, los cuáles traía desde las costas del Sahara y vendía en Arrecife sin permiso de la autoridad..
Cienfuegos un día partió en uno de sus viajes a las costas Africanas y nunca volvió, algunos dicen que murió luchando contra otros piratas Bereberes que querían robarle, otros dicen que no murió y que lo hicieron esclavo, el caso es que Cienfuegos Perdomo no volvió.
Carmencita estuvo 10 años yendo todos los días al puerto a esperar a su amado, todas las mañanas se la veía ir con la misma esperanza, al decimo año, el día de su treinta cumpleaños, la vieron saltar al agua, Carmencita desapareció para todos, excepto para los marineros del Puerto que aseguran que la han visto algunas noches nadar mar adentro, buscando a Cienfuegos, convertida en sirena.
Y colorín colorado este cuento se ha acabado.
