| Apalachicola, cariñosamente llamada "Apalach" por los lugareños, es un tesoro costero escondido ubicado en la desembocadura del río Apalachicola, a lo largo de la costa del Golfo de Florida. Famosa por su herencia ostrícola, su arquitectura histórica y su encanto relajado, esta ciudad te hace sentir como si retrocedieras en el tiempo a una auténtica parte de la antigua Florida. Con calles arboladas, edificios restaurados del siglo XIX y una vibrante cultura marítima, Apalachicola es perfecta para viajeros que buscan historia, naturaleza y una gastronomía increíble. Cómo llegar El aeropuerto principal más cercano está en Tallahassee, a unos 90 minutos en coche. Desde allí, la pintoresca Ruta 98 de EE. UU. te lleva a través de la "Costa Olvidada", un tramo de playas prácticamente vírgenes, pueblos pesqueros y paisajes costeros que conducen al corazón de Apalachicola. Qué ver y hacer Distrito histórico: Pasea bajo imponentes robles por un centro urbano repleto de más de 900 edificios históricos, muchos de ellos bellamente restaurados. Antiguos almacenes, iglesias y casas victorianas albergan ahora galerías de arte, boutiques, mercados de mariscos y acogedores cafés. Museos y Patrimonio: Museo John Gorrie: Rinde homenaje al inventor de la refrigeración mecánica, figura clave en la historia de Florida. Museo Marítimo de Apalachicola: Ofrece exhibiciones de barcos históricos, recorridos fluviales y una perspectiva de las tradiciones marineras de la región. Museo Casa Raney: Una impresionante casa de estilo neogriego de 1838, repleta de artefactos del siglo XIX. Iglesia Episcopal de la Trinidad: Construida en 1838, es una de las iglesias más antiguas de Florida, enviada pieza por pieza desde Nueva York. Naturaleza y Aventura: El río y la bahía de Apalachicola crean uno de los estuarios con mayor biodiversidad de EE. UU. Explore más de 160 kilómetros de vías fluviales en kayak, paddleboard o bote. Los aficionados a la observación de aves disfrutarán avistando garzas, águilas pescadoras y águilas calvas, mientras que los aficionados a la pesca podrán probar suerte con camarones, cangrejos y gallinetas nórdicas. | ||||

Gastronomía y sabores locales Apalachicola es mundialmente conocida por sus ostras, que en su día produjeron más del 90 % del suministro de ostras de Florida. Aunque la recolección silvestre está actualmente suspendida para restaurar las poblaciones, los restaurantes locales aún sirven ostras frescas de granjas cercanas. No se pierda la salsa de pescado ahumado, una especialidad regional hecha con lisa o caballa, ni pruebe camarones, cangrejos y mero de los pescadores locales. Festival de mariscos: Cada noviembre, Apalachicola alberga el festival de mariscos más antiguo de Florida. Es una animada celebración con concursos de descascarado de ostras, carreras de cangrejos, música, vendedores de arte y miles de amantes de los mariscos de todo el país. | |||

Datos curiosos En el siglo XIX, Apalachicola era el tercer puerto más activo de la Costa del Golfo. Su centro histórico es reconocido como Destino Distintivo Nacional por su preservación arquitectónica. La Reserva Nacional de Investigación Estuarina de Apalachicola protege más de 246,000 acres de humedales y vías fluviales. Se espera que la recolección de ostras silvestres se reabra en 2026, lo que enriquecerá el futuro de Apalachicola con su historia. Consejos de viaje Apalachicola es un pueblo con un ritmo tranquilo y fácil de recorrer, ideal para explorar con calma. Mejor época para visitar: Primavera (marzo-mayo) para un clima templado y flores en flor, u otoño (septiembre-noviembre) para temperaturas más frescas y menos aglomeraciones. El verano ofrece energía vibrante, pero es caluroso y húmedo; lleve protector solar, repelente de insectos y ropa ligera. Perfecto para amantes de la historia, la gastronomía, la fotografía y viajeros que buscan la auténtica cultura de la Costa del Golfo. | |||
