Ballenita, Santa Elena, Santa Elena, Ecuador
Local legend claims that many, many years ago fishermen and sailors from this fishing village could hear the migrating whales (“ballenas”) sing beautiful melodies with angelic voices. It is said that those who had the opportunity to hear them singing, fell in love with their voices and delighted in listening to them, searching for a sight of them from the shore or from their fishing boats. Even today, residents of Ballenita love to catch a glimpse of their town’s namesake whales, and every day someone new falls in love with the siren’s song of Ballenita.
