Massa expects tourist attractions outside the city. The most popular are primarily surrounded by hotels, sandy beaches. The most visited of them - already referred to Eagle Beach and Palm Beach on the west coast of the island, a favorite spot of surfers, North Malmok Beach and Arashi Beach, quiet and surrounded by palm trees Rogers Beach and Baby Beach in the east, as well as windy Bache - Lors Beach and Boca Grande. Not far from one of the recreation centers, we can see an old windmill Molen Aldea, built in 1804 in Holland and moved to Aruba in 1960. Center of the island, is dry and barren land (in the language of Papiamento, "kunuku"), much less visited by tourists. The landscape is dominated by xerophytic bushes, shrubs, bent trees and cacti. Between them, scattered farms, decorated with mysterious symbols. They hide from passing animals for hedges of cactus. In the central part of the island's towering three peaks: Arikok (175 m), the Yamanote Line (188 m) iHoyberg (165 m). Its shape resembles the last haystack, but it was his often visited by tourists. Perhaps because of the beautiful view over the whole island that opens from the top - just 500 steps to overcome. If we want to get acquainted with the natural, scenic and cultural diversity of Aruba, you should choose the route leading from Oranjestad to the north, surrounded by sand dunes to the lighthouse. Then, following the east coast, it is necessary to go south to St. Nicholas - the second largest city of Aruba.

Symptoms of cholera, which is usually through infected water and food, most often manifest as cramps in legs, severe diarrhea and vomiting that can lead to dehydration, shock and death.
Ornate capital
We will start with a trip to Aruba, located on the western edge of the island Oranjestad - 35000th capital. Here is an international airport named after Queen Beatrix and the port, which come large passenger liners. The city, named after the ruling clan Netherlands Oranje-Nassau, arose in the XVIII-XIX centuries Zutman around the fort, built in 1796 on the coast. Urban architecture is a mixture of Dutch-style colonial and modern buildings, the shape of which often seeks to replicate the colonial style. Spectacular homes - with rich ornaments, decorated roofs and pastel facades - we can see in through the center of the street Caya Betiko-Krouz, the main shopping artery of the city. And on the Lloyd-Smith Boulevard - a representative promenade that connects the international airport and the yacht port - in the shade of palm trees located governor's residence and Parliament, casinos, shopping malls and hotels.
