Aruba is the smallest of the three Dutch Caribbean islands off the coast of Venezuela( only 15 miles north!) On a clear day you can actually see Venezuela 🇻🇪.With more than 90 nationalities present in Aruba the population is very diverse. Dutch and papaiemento are Aruba’s official language, but most Arubans speak at least four languages including English Spanish and Portuguese. Did you know that for over 80 years, Aruba has been a pioneer of purified water technology? Being a desert island, Aruba has a distinct scarcity of freshwater. The population prompted by the opening of the Lago refinery in the early 1930s resulted in Balashi development of one of the largest desalinization plants in the world. The mineral content is strictly controlled to provide a clean flavor and, I’m on locals, and I see glass of fresh, purified see water is called a Balashi cocktail. 😀
