- Salango in the Manabi Province is best beach in Ecuador people haven't heard of. A small fishing village, most people come to Salango Island.
You can take a boat out there. There's snorkeling. You can do whale watching. There's also sea lions, it's actually supposed to be better than Puerto Lopez. And definitely a lot less crowded.
This soft sand beach in Ecuador is uncrowded, except for Ecuadorian fishermen bringing in their daily catch.
It's also home to El Delfin Magico or the magic dolphin. One of the most well known restaurants in Ecuador for seafood. Many people say, it has the best seafood in Ecuador.
You can choose which fish you would like, which type of preparation you would like, so whether you like it steamed or grilled. Or the most popular options actually are al ajillo, which is sauteed in garlic and encocado.
Encocado refers to being cooked in coconut milk, coconut cream. And it's a uniquely coastal dish in Ecuador. They cook it only in coconut milk.
So if you're lactose intolerant, this is a really great place to go.
There's also camarones al ajillo or shrimp in a garlic sauce. Really good, you can’t go wrong with it.
Another house specialty is percebes or gooseneck barnacles. If you're with a group it's worth trying. Percebes taste like mussels but look quite different.
And finally pulpo en maracuya, which is octopus and it's cooked with a passionfruit sauce. It is so tender and doesn't taste fishy at all.
In Ecuador you might find octopus, but is not common for Ecuadorians to eat it. But here in Salango Manabi this is a very classic dish. So Salango is the best place to try it. With cold beer this is the perfect lunch.

Love Ecuador? You'll adore these Ecuador t-shirts: ecuador.myspreadshop.com/
I was in Ecuador in 2015-2016. I absolutely fell in love. I didn't d not get to do or see as much as would like. Thank you for sharing your experiences in places other TH-camrs do not go. For some reason they do not like to do food videos which I love as well.
Thank you so much! I have much more to share. The next videos will be northern Ecuador and the Galapagos and then I'm heading back down the coast starting in Esmeraldas and heading down to Guayaquil.
Wow ... Incredible coastline. I always was attracted to the ocean down that way.
Overall I felt that Manabi had much better beaches than farther south in Ecuador
Besutiful Beach. Could spend hours there. Amazing food and Beach. Two of the best things in life. Is your time in Ecuador winding down? Will be sad to leave. Thank you for this video
Yes and no! This is video 23 of 50. I had no idea when I started that I would have so many videos but there was so much to share. That said, I've already bought a flight back here for the beginning of January so I'll have two more months here and then I need to decide what country to visit next in March.
This beach is beautiful and the seafood looks dandy...
The sand was so soft. I don't know why more people don't talk about Salango as a beach destination
12 de la noche viendo este video y muriendo de ganas, se ve deliciosos esos platos… saludos 🖖 ❤
son tan buenos recuerdos ahora que me dan ganas de volver
Another great video....I like to watch those birds ...they are in huge numbers.
You just have to be careful not to watch from underneath...
Very relaxing beach vlog!
Nothing like octopus and barnacles fresh from the ocean!
Great video. Salango here we come.
Ask about the secret beach. When I go back I'm going to make sure we can feature the beach, check out the island and also that tree house!
GREAT enjoy all
Thanks so much Estela
7:51 the salads with tomato Is a milenary tradition of our foods because the oldest variety of América was discover in Ecuador in the Loja Región
There is never enough salad for me on a plate. I always want more salad and less rice.
I watched the video before eating and all that seafood made me hungry...
Thanks for. The video . kiss
Oh well I hope you have a wonderful day filled with delicious food.
Great video! Love how you describe the food and show it tn the video.i will arrive in Manta on February 17th. I am soo excited to visit this beach and try the sea food at El Delfin Magico! You sold me on it!!❤❤
SO I am actually going back to check out the treehouse! Also there is supposed to be fantastic snorkeling on the island. I think it's absolutely worth checking out. If you get there first let me know how it goes 🤣
Ayngelina: such a charming host. Love her well produced series of vids.
Thank you so much for the kind compliment.
Linda playa 🏝😻 llena de rocas ⛰ 🏖 y comida espectacular 🍤😻😻😻 y percebes nunca he probado y nunca lo probaría 🥴😅😅✌️✌️✌️ buen video
La próxima video será Salango en un casa de árbol!
Another fantastic vlog.Thanks Ayng. Hey, you should maybe look up fellow TH-camrs Amelia and Jp when you get to Manta. Could be great for your subscribers , and just great to see.
Thank you! I'm not getting to Manta on this visit but I'm hoping to include it in January, fingers crossed!

Salango Nuevo lugar para ir a comer ✌️
Claro que si, y su playa está preciosa 😍
He estado de paso por Salango muy hermosa playa 🖐️🙏🇪🇨
La próxima semana comparto una casa del árbol en Salango!
12:28 the last year i remember to try the variety of coffe of Galápagos. Need to try Also
That is great coffee. I try it in my Galapagos by land video 😊
Very nice Video and informative. This is my first time with you, and enjoyed the experience. I’m in Ecuador often but have not been to Solango yet. It’s on my bucket list. Best of luck to you, and always live your best life !!!!!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. It really means a lot to me. I've shot 50 videos so far and am thinking about sharing three times a week. I hope you stick around and subscribe 😊
@@ayngelina In fact I have subscribed, and find you both intelligent and cute. Hope to see more of you !!!! Have a wonderful day
@@Daniel-wr2yd thank you. That's very kind of you.
Thank u so much for promoving our country! I can u try ceviche de concha ! Afrodisiatic
I had conch encocado in one of my Esmeraldas videos and I loved it
4:15 Manabí coffe Is diferent to Loja and Zaruma coffe because Is produced in a lowlands
I love all of them. But I think it's nice to have breakfast in Zaruma for the coffee and tigrillo
Look yummy ❤️
It's a great place.
@@ayngelina I am with you ❤️
What do you recommend in terms of beach sandals or long walking sandals? Can you please share a link? I will be traveling there in two months.
I wear flip flops most of the time, just cheap ones. If I am hiking I have a pair of Colombia hiking sandals and Chacos are always a good bet. But this is for the coast only. In the Andes you'll need closed toed shoes. I use a pair of street sneakers and then I have hiking sneakers for hiking.
6:34 if i can recomend my favorite fish Is camotillo. camotillo Is a fish that eat shrimps every year and u can try the two flavors un the first taste. U Need to try camotillo al ajillo have amazing flavor!
Yes! I finally try it on the Manta video and wow it is amazing.
EL RESTAURANTE DELFÍN MÁGICO,EN, SALANGO, TIENE, LA MEJOR GASTRONOMÍA, DE LA COSTA DEL ECUADOR, EL ARROZ CON MARISCOS, ES , DE .UNA CALIDAD, INSUPERABLE.
Tienes razon. La proxima semana tengo un otro video en Salango en la Casa de arbol de El Delfin Magico!
Sí manabi tiene las mejores playas y marisco (*comida en general) 😋
Tienes razón 😉
Hi Angelyna, I'm retired here in Mexico and I'd like to check out Manta and Cuenta as a future place for me to live. Any suggestions before I go?
Where do you live in México. It may help me with perspective.
@@ayngelina I've lived in Mexico for many years. Currently I've been living in Cuernavaca Morelos about an hour and a half from Mexico City. I've also lived in San Miguel de Allende Guanajuato, my mother owned a home there for 12 years. San Miguel has been voted as one of the best small cities in the world to retire in by Conde Nast Magazine. I think Cuenca or Manta might be interesting places for me to live.
@@Resmith18SR ok good reference. So I think Cuenca would be most similar to San Miguel de Allende in that it's a beautiful historic city with a lot of expats and it probably has the most English spoken by locals as well. It is a bit chilly in the winter, you'll need pants and a sweater in the evenings. But Cuenca is safe, and a hub for gastronomy. Also there are lots of great little towns around it.
Manta is a big city on the coast. I haven't spent much time there but I'm going in January to explore. Driving through it smells disgusting. But Manabi has amazing beaches and as it's a city it has good access to most things you'd want, unlike other beach towns. Safety is a bigger concern and I think choosing the right neighbourhood makes or breaks the place.
@@ayngelina Thank you so much for that Angelyna. I wonder why Manta would have a bad smell but I'm sure you can tell me more after you go there and thoroughly check it out. It looks nice there on various videos I've seen on TH-cam.
@@Resmith18SR oops I thought you knew! It's an important city for tuna fishing and there are processing plants there. Not all of the town smells, driving on the highway through Manta is bad and some parts of the city smell, kinda of like cat food from the tuna. I love fish but it's not pleasant driving through.
Food at delfin magico it seems expensive to me. The shrimps are little. I grant the flavor could be excellent, even so the prices are a little high.
It's the best quality seafood I've had in Ecuador. Prices are not cheap but you definitely get what you pay for there.
You said the restaurant is expensive but you didn't mention the prices??
Have a look again 😊 I list the prices on the screen
Great video u make me hungry girl lol
If there are cities you think I should feature please me know Henry
@@ayngelina you went to playas villamil
Have fun in Canada happy holidays
ACABO OBSERVAR, EL, VIDEO, DEFINITIVAMENTE, EL,DELFÍN MÁGICO, ES, ALGO, ALUCINANTE, EXCEPCIONAL, PODRÍA, ESTAR, EN, BARCELONA, LONDRÉS, O, MADRID.!....
Claro que si
I ate at this resturant in May. It was very good, but not the best in Ecuador.
Oh I'd love to know where is the best!
U look beautiful w u hat...
Thank you Estela, I bought it in Sigsig but I have always struggled wearing a hat in the sun. Yet the radiation is too strong in Ecuador and I know I need to wear one more often.
Jamás había visto esa cosa negra, que raro se ve aunque me gustaría probarlo xD
Siiii, yo nunca vi tampoco! Los Percebes son deliciosos pero se ven muy inusuales. Vale la pena probarlo, también he probado el pulpo en otros lugares de Ecuador, pero este es, con mucho, el mejor.
😄😄😄
@@edisonsanchez1337 te gusta percebes?
@@ayngelina Love your videos, never tasted percebes but sure it's delicious,..her comment is hilarius😄
@@edisonsanchez1337Hahaha. She's like me in thinking hey that looks weird, I have to try it.
You miss the fossils before the nice beach
We didn't know about it until we were leaving in the second video of Salango. So I think we'll have to go a third time.
@@ayngelina i brought many people there but in town people don’t know where is the fossil
First minute that hand feeding in the mouth, mmmm smelled romantic lol
Hahahaha food can be that good!
The sauce for the fish looked like it had Turmeric in it, hence the yellow color.
Encocado doesn't traditionally have tumeric, the yellow colour in many foods usually comes from achiote. Although tumeric is possible as he said it was a secret and tumeric adds colour but not flavour.
@@ayngelina I always thought that achiote had an orange to reddish color. Is it possible that the southern part of Ecuador at one time, or the host had a Caribbean influence? That might explain the use of Turmeric from the immigration of east Indians.
@@Dana-ie2bh yes it's absolutely has an orange colour, but often mixed with other ingredients such as coconut milk it comes out more like a golden yellow. Alfredo wouldn't share, understandably. But I also had an amazing encocado on the Galapagos that had a vibrant yellow colour and they said they would share the recipe... I'm still waiting but it's a good reminder to get it.
@@ayngelina Achiote doesn't have much flavor either does it?
I'm always amazed how some recipes are really really good when the flavors are married and layered to create depth with the complexity, and how some recipes are really really good when they are kept very simple and rustic allowing the main ingredient to shine through.
@@Dana-ie2bh yes exactly. I find achiote is meant to be a secondary flavour, it gives a dish some depth but doesn't really shine as a primary ingredient. But that's true in a lot of Ecuadorian dishes. I can often taste cumin, garlic or lemongrass but I usually have to ask if there are other ingredients and almost always achiote is in there somewhere.
gooseneck barnacles!
Yes! So hard to get, very dangerous
encocado $15.00 dolares..eyyy bajenle un poco al precio
El restaurante no es barato, pero diré que tiene mariscos y pescados de alta calidad. He tenido muchos encocados y ese fue definitivamente uno de los mejores.
