Beautiful, breath taking views Of vast volcanoes and bright blue seas Scorching sun and high temperatures Palm trees swaying in a soft breeze. Through landscapes layered with black lava White washed walls wind their way Around gardens full of fantastic flora Where lizards and geckos love to play. Ships sail by beyond the breakers, Planes pass over as they come in to land, Promenades packed with holidaymakers By beaches of beautiful golden sand. Sun loungers and swimming pools Hours of rest and relaxation Siestas while the hot sun cools Poolside bars for cool libations. Spectacular sunsets in surrounding skies Each day ending in such serene splendour Reds pinks, blues, greys and turquoise; Colours any artist would be challenged to render. Pubs clubs and restaurants of such variety activities that appeal to everyone Local residents renowned for their hospitality Make Matagorda a paradise second to none.
