When I was 18 years old I had the opportunity to travel to San Andrés for a year residi and work
there while knowing more about the island, San Andrés is an island founded by Arabs and
Americans an island that is part of Colombia. Its culture is very striking therefore one of the factors
that most show multiculturality is language. The official language is Spanish, but the Islander dialect
is Patuá, and there is the presence of Creole, of English lexical basis, as well as Caribbean English.
Sandar music is the result of great cultural mixes. Its pleasant average temperature of 28 degrees
Celsius allows you to enjoy its beautiful natural landscapes while knowing about the great historical
and cultural legacy of the archipelago. San Andrés, a whole Experience The discovery in about
1508 by the Spaniards, the establishment in 1629 of English and Dutch puritans and the arrival of
the first African slaves in 1633 gave rise to the great cultural diversity that is lived in the
Archipelago of San Andrés, Providence Therefore one of the factors that most show multiculturality
is language. The official language is Spanish, but the Islander dialect is Patuá, and there is the
presence of Creole, of English lexical basis, as well as Caribbean English.

Sandar music is the result of great cultural mixes. In the island there are rhythms from all over the
world, extracted in greater number from the African, Afro-Antillean and Anglo-Antillean traditions.
This hybrid causes the island to reproduce harmonies that pass through genres such as Calypso,
Socca, reggae, polka, mint and schottist. There are also typical instruments such as washtube (very
similar to a double bass) and Jawbone (a horse jaw used for percussion). In September is held the
Green Moon Festival, a cultural, musical, gastronomic and handicraft event where the concerts of
Caribbean music are the protagonists.In gastronomic matters, the traditional dish is the rundown or
Rondon, a mixture of green banana, salted pork, snail, fish, yams, yucca and flour.Thanks to its
spectacular landscapes, the warmth of its people, the texture of its beaches and its great cultural
variety, San Andrés is one of the main tourist destinations in Colombia, the country of sabrosura.
From a long time ago Baptist pastors and Adventists along with Catholic priests have shown each
other a fairly brotherly and cordial treatment. Today, the Baptist creed continues to be the one
professed by the majority of native natives, followed by the Adventist and Catholic religion. As for
the religious aspect, although there were Jews and Orientals, the predominant creed was
Christianity expressed through the Protestant cult, whose main exponents were the Baptists and
Adventists.

The Catholic religion was introduced into the islands by Irish Franciscan priests in the same period,
living in harmony with the other Christian currents, because there was a same cultural and linguistic
platform that guaranteed harmony and good treatment among the faithful. The church became the
fundamental pillar of the Raizal idiosyncrasy, since it brought to it the set of values that would guide
the island society.

The Spanish Capuchin Catholics then replaced the Irish to preach the Catholic religion, but in the
Spanish language. By way of analysis, a first reflection could indicate that the religious frictions that
began to be seen in the Archipelago were not for reasons of belief as such, but for strictly cultural
reasons. For the present, however, these differences have been overcome and the current settlers
peacefully manifest their religious inclinations.Currently, the Islamic religious framework includes
several creeds in which other Christian currents professed in the Spanish language stand out, who
are called "Hispanic churches" or simply "Christians". In addition to them, the practitioners of Islam
and Judaism appear on the stage, accompanied by a small group of supporters of the philosophy of
Jamaican Rastafarism.

This is also very different since in my country people usually pray at night before going to sleep and
most people only go to church on Sunday. I finally learned that the weekend for them is Thursday
and Friday, not Saturday and Sunday. This was quite difficult for me at first as I was used to
enjoying my free time on Saturdays and Sundays. I ended up getting used to it and Saturdays
became the first day of the week for me, While for them every day is music dance and the beautiful
sound of sea in the sands enjoy very much to be there is a beautiful paradise where you do not
take the trouble to see the time all with a happy smile on their faces that remains delighted I had the
opportunity to live an excellent experience
