The more compact and lightweight version, the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary (the one we’re reviewing today),\n\n\n\n\n\n![909983483478734634653267282382322893.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/abb78e5831c0a8b07ea039b056c5b55b361a4cdd.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n está destinada al mismo público que el Tamron 150-600 mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD, mientras que la variante \"Sport\", mucho más robusta y pesada, es exclusiva de Sigma, sin competencias de otros fabricantes. Poder alcanzar los 600 mm sin realizar un gran desembolso ha sido un anhelo para muchos fotógrafos de naturaleza con recursos limitados,\n\nIt is aimed at the same audience as the Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD, while the “Sport” version—much more rugged and heavier—is exclusive to Sigma, with no competition from other manufacturers. Being able to reach 600mm without breaking the bank has long been a dream for many nature photographers on a tight budget,\n\n\n\n\n![98477346545278812998129120990190912029109.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/ed17138242e9006b10846f06d3ee613fbf7fbcd3.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n ya que cualquier lente cercana a los 600 mm tiende a tener un costo alto: hasta 12.000 dólares para los últimos modelos de 600 mm f/4. Aunque los objetivos actuales de 150-600 mm no logran una apertura máxima de f/4, ofrecen un amplio espectro focal, lo que es muy útil al capturar sujetos a diferentes distancias. Muchos dueños de lentes fijos de 600 mm saben que fotografiar con teleobjetivos puede ser complejo debido al peso y a la posible distorsión atmosférica. \n\nsince any lens around 600 mm tends to be expensive: up to $12,000 for the latest 600 mm f/4 models. Although current 150-600 mm lenses do not achieve a maximum aperture of f/4, they offer a wide focal range, which is very useful for capturing subjects at different distances. Many owners of 600mm prime lenses know that shooting with telephoto lenses can be challenging due to their weight and potential atmospheric distortion.\n\n\n\n\n\n![988387437643435667732889329322323902900290.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/97b1af5fb5d9ee8f56d149ce945c7d757f8b842c.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEstos lentes pueden ser bastante restrictivos cuando la acción ocurre a corta distancia, como al fotografiar osos en Alaska o en un safari en África. Por estas razones, muchos profesionales optan por lentes de 200-400 mm f/4, ya que brindan la flexibilidad necesaria para capturar escenas tanto de cerca como de lejos.\n\n\nThese lenses can be quite limiting when shooting at close range, such as when photographing bears in Alaska or on a safari in Africa. For these reasons, many professionals opt for 200–400 mm f/4 lenses, as they offer the flexibility needed to capture scenes both up close and from a distance.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n![9884377344366347832832993290323029302900392932.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/67b9fc0c2abf2b2f136c6ef34c4ab391434430a6.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNo obstante, el alto precio y el peso siguen siendo un inconveniente, lo que convierte estos objetivos en una opción poco accesible para los aficionados con presupuestos reducidos y para los profesionales que prefieren disparar sin trípode. Es aquí donde los lentes de 150-600 mm son útiles, ofreciendo un excelente rendimiento en un formato liviano y a un precio relativamente bajo.\n\n\nHowever, the high price and weight remain a drawback, making these lenses an impractical choice for hobbyists on a tight budget and for professionals who prefer to shoot without a tripod. This is where 150-600mm lenses come in handy, offering excellent performance in a lightweight design and at a relatively low price.\n\n\n\n\n![9884377346346746773283223892392399322332.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/f39bb789f394a8ee9b218ed069039f702c59239b.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Con un costo de poco más de 1000 dólares y un peso de 1930 gramos (4,25 libras), el Sigma 150-600 mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary es una opción muy atractiva para aquellos que se dedican a la fotografía de deportes y naturaleza. En esta revisión, analizaremos este lente a fondo y lo compararemos con el Tamron 150-600 mm que ya revisamos y que nos dejó muy satisfechos.\n\nPriced at just over $1,000 and weighing 1,930 grams (4.25 pounds), the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary is a very attractive option for sports and nature photographers. In this review, we’ll take an in-depth look at this lens and compare it to the Tamron 150-600mm, which we’ve already reviewed and were very pleased with.\n\n\n\n![988834734674356345676832932932003299329032990390.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/460cda2d1a85d06e8638a66c2180a1ba9d07ebb6.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n¡Agradecemos a John Lawson por sus maravillosas fotografías!\nDescripción general del Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary\nEl Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Contemporary compite directamente con el Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3 VC, ya que ambos lentes tienen exactamente el mismo rango de distancia focal y apertura,\n\nWe’d like to thank John Lawson for his wonderful photos!\nOverview of the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary\nThe Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Contemporary competes directly with the Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3 VC, as both lenses have exactly the same focal length range and aperture,\n\n\n\n\n\n\n![98884784736436767827239239020209209292900923.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/71d5abef97213b67207cbf2155b40d1ac69edb23.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n además de precios bastante parecidos. Asimismo, sus dimensiones y peso son casi idénticos, con pequeñas variaciones. En términos ópticos, ambos están elaborados de manera muy parecida, utilizando un total de 20 elementos de lentes y 9 láminas de diafragma. \n\nIn addition, their prices are quite similar. Their dimensions and weight are also nearly identical, with only minor differences. Optically, both are constructed in a very similar way, using a total of 20 lens elements and 9 diaphragm blades.\n\n\n\n\n\n![98988373677289292920200299029.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/ac34aa580c4905eaba5e706204f2d2f03cdad306.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSi examinamos la construcción de estos lentes junto a los gráficos MTF que proporciona el fabricante, notamos que también tienen similitudes sorprendentes. Con tantas coincidencias entre los dos, uno podría cuestionar si el diseño fue resultado de una colaboración o si un fabricante \"inspiró\" al otro. Aunque no tenemos respuestas definitivas a estas interrogantes, sí sabemos qué podemos esperar de ambos lentes, por lo que, en muchos aspectos, podrían considerarse casi iguales.\n\nIf we examine the construction of these lenses alongside the MTF charts provided by the manufacturer, we notice that they also share striking similarities. With so many similarities between the two, one might wonder whether the design was the result of a collaboration or whether one manufacturer “inspired” the other. Although we don’t have definitive answers to these questions, we do know what to expect from both lenses, so in many respects, they could be considered nearly identical.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n![989898837436435667383289322399328293893288.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/e29d163abc31ed0c2fb9c06f1da7131b2d3828d5.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n¿Esto implica que los lentes son mecánica, electrónica y ópticamente iguales? En realidad, no; hay algunas diferencias que se explicarán más adelante en esta revisión. Las unidades que probamos presentaron un comportamiento ligeramente diferente a diversas distancias focales, también evidenciaron variaciones en la consistencia y fiabilidad en su funcionamiento y rendimiento del autoenfoque.\n\nDoes this mean that the lenses are mechanically, electronically, and optically identical? Not exactly; there are some differences that will be explained later in this review. The units we tested behaved slightly differently at various focal lengths and also showed variations in consistency and reliability in their operation and autofocus performance.\n\n\n\n\n\n![989984949034099383773635626712889.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/4a651e992198e1015edfffc4dae3e94beffdc178.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Esto no es sorprendente, ya que se trata de un diseño de lente que tiene ciertas limitaciones; considerando que el rango de 150-600 mm es tan amplio, estas variaciones son un tanto parecidas a las que encontramos en los lentes \"superzoom\" que tanto nos gustan (¡ejem, ejem, Verm, el experto en superzoom!).\n\nThis isn't surprising, since this lens design has certain limitations; given that the 150–600 mm range is so wide, these variations are somewhat similar to those found in the “superzoom” lenses we love so much (ahem, ahem, Verm, the superzoom expert!).\n\n\n\n\n\n![99090943834783464366572822892992.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/5c9c9aecec65a5f09f31eedb635b200eb9daf0a1.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Así que es importante tener esto en cuenta al adquirir este tipo de lentes: puede que necesite probar varias unidades antes de hallar una que rinda realmente bien a una distancia focal específica. No obstante, no estoy sugiriendo en absoluto que los lentes de 150-600 mm sean de mala calidad.\n\nSo it’s important to keep this in mind when purchasing this type of lens: you may need to try out several models before finding one that performs really well at a specific focal length. However, I’m not suggesting at all that 150–600 mm lenses are of poor quality.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n![9909998347364636327322382399329328328989328.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/f1c56c9a1a7f548c360792db45b197738883109b.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n En realidad, este diseño en particular genera imágenes sorprendentemente buenas en general, con una nitidez que frecuentemente no se puede igualar con lentes de menor distancia focal y teleconvertidores. El nuevo Nikkor 80-400 mm VR, por ejemplo, no se adapta adecuadamente a los teleconvertidores, y con el TC 1.4x \n\nIn fact, this particular design generally produces surprisingly good images, with a sharpness that often cannot be matched by lenses with shorter focal lengths or teleconverters. The new Nikkor 80-400mm VR, for example, is not well suited for use with teleconverters, and with the 1.4x TC\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n![9909998933873456653712128822899211290219001290912921.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/73f6199dbd4257db24145527c0dceb39ff8b4ef6.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\nse presenta una notable disminución en la fiabilidad del enfoque automático en el extremo largo, lo que no solo limita su recorrido a 560 mm, sino que también reduce la apertura a f/8.\n\nThere is a noticeable drop in autofocus reliability at the long end, which not only limits its focal length to 560 mm but also reduces the aperture to f/8.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n![99898934903448376546773282389289289289282892.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/62faad11201ea5398b72052d8fa3a2a85f34179e.jpg)\n\n\n\n\nPor lo tanto, las lentes de 150-600 mm seguirían siendo más adecuadas para obtener acercamientos a la acción. Además, el coste del 80-400 mm también representa un gran inconveniente: a 2300 dólares, sería muy difícil aconsejar el 80-400 mm a alguien que desee el mayor alcance en este momento.\n\n\nTherefore, 150-600mm lenses would still be better suited for getting close to the action. Furthermore, the cost of the 80-400mm is also a major drawback: at $2,300, it would be very difficult to recommend the 80-400mm to someone looking for the longest reach available right now.\n\n\n\n\n![9898344366345667829129191992.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/c6ab3a1198572c11e655fb342c20072b23f9aa56.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n Fuera de la marca, parece que el Nikkor 80-400 mm f/4.5-5.6G VR ya no ofrece muchas ventajas y, desafortunadamente, esto le sucede a muchos modelos de lentes Nikkor, que están siendo superados por los productos de marcas como Sigma y Tamron. Sigma, en especial, está afectando notablemente las ventas de Nikon con sus lentes de la serie Art, que no solo tienen mejor calidad óptica, sino que también son más asequibles y permiten calibrar el autoenfoque sin modificar los ajustes de AF de la cámara.\n\nOutside of the Nikon brand, it seems that the Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G VR no longer offers many advantages, and unfortunately, this is true for many Nikkor lens models, which are being outperformed by products from brands like Sigma and Tamron. Sigma, in particular, is significantly impacting Nikon’s sales with its Art series lenses, which not only offer better optical quality but are also more affordable and allow for autofocus calibration without changing the camera’s AF settings.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n![99898934903448376546773282389289289289282892.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/62faad11201ea5398b72052d8fa3a2a85f34179e.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n En cuanto a la calibración precisa, el Sigma 150-600 mm f/5-6.3 OS DG HSM Contemporary tiene una gran ventaja sobre el modelo de Tamron. Si te encuentras con algún problema de autoenfoque con el Sigma 150-600 mm, puedes conectarlo fácilmente al Sigma Dock y ajustar los parámetros de enfoque automático, mientras que con Tamron esa opción no está disponible, lo que podría llevar a tener que devolver el producto. \n\nWhen it comes to precise calibration, the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 OS DG HSM Contemporary has a significant advantage over the Tamron model. If you encounter any autofocus issues with the Sigma 150-600mm, you can easily connect it to the Sigma Dock and adjust the autofocus settings, whereas with Tamron that option isn’t available, which could mean having to return the product.",

En mis más de diez años viajando por el mundo, he recorrido algunas de las naciones insulares más pequeñas y aisladas del planeta (he visitado más islas del Pacífico que la mayoría de las personas),\n\nExploring the Leeward Islands of the Caribbean\nDo you picture turquoise waters and huts surrounded by palm trees while you sip on a coconut? Can you imagine paradise? In my more than ten years of traveling the world, I’ve visited some of the smallest and most isolated island nations on the planet (I’ve visited more Pacific islands than most people),\n\n\n\n![445435353263737838893929039032932093200932.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/dcc710c048edf3768122cb37f11beb6465ec5cc7.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\npero tal vez no haya un lugar más emocionante para planear una aventura de isla en isla como el Caribe. Aquí, las islas están bastante cercanas entre sí, muchas están bien preparadas para recibir turistas, mientras que otras poseen playas vírgenes y escasos habitantes.\n\n\nBut there may be no more exciting place to plan an island-hopping adventure than the Caribbean. Here, the islands are quite close to one another; many are well-equipped to welcome tourists, while others boast pristine beaches and few inhabitants.\n\n\n\n\n\n![4454547854788732873272838728292120191292092929219.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/44c17ad1a79d6543849215843fa424ff07f6878f.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMi plan para visitar las islas del Caribe no incluye un crucero (¡aunque eso es una opción!), sino que se centra esencialmente en el sur a través de las Antillas Menores mediante vuelos cortos (muchas veces son muy breves) y ferris públicos.\n\nMy plan for visiting the Caribbean islands doesn't include a cruise (though that is an option!), but instead focuses mainly on the southern part of the Lesser Antilles, using short flights (often very brief ones) and public ferries.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n![45443455632673788738393289939902029932093232.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/2fe38373c583cd4b87c3750e7b96da4e0c8ccff3.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLas Islas de Sotavento son un excelente punto de partida y a continuación compartiré cómo organicé mis vacaciones explorando estas islas, antes de continuar hacia las Islas de Barlovento.\n\n\nThe Leeward Islands are a great starting point, and below I’ll share how I planned my vacation exploring these islands before continuing on to the Windward Islands.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n![45453536223788899834930030333223.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/bb1bb6239c365899fc192a3067c2ddd1aaa826ce.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n¿Qué islas comprenden las Islas de Sotavento?\nSanto Tomás (Islas Vírgenes de los Estados Unidos)\nTórtola (Islas Vírgenes Británicas)\nIslas Vírgenes Británicas (BVI)\nSan Martín (holandés)\n\n\nWhich islands make up the Leeward Islands?\nSt. Thomas (U.S. Virgin Islands)\nTortola (British Virgin Islands)\nBritish Virgin Islands (BVI)\nSt. Maarten (Dutch)\n\n\n\n![4545353637378389934903493400348.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/844d09f60b71a42483918fbef4564c892ab9ea63.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnguila\nSan Martín (francés)\nSan Bartolomé\nSaba\nSan Eustaquio\nSan Cristóbal\n\n\nAnguilla\nSaint Martin (French)\nSaint Barthélemy\nSaba\nSaint Eustatius\nSaint Kitts\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n![4545353673332932903003993320320320320.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/8d222a6a7b97851c8a8975879e5d5a573e2fc9d5.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\nNevis\nAntigua\nMontserrat\nGuadalupe\n\nNevis\nAntigua\nMontserrat\nGuadeloupe\n\n\n\n\n\n![454543563673783392393290930290290339022909.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/8329e7c0ad1d741a14bd28967d62098a28d9ea09.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCada uno de los enlaces anteriores te llevará a una guía detallada sobre viajes en esa isla en particular, que incluye aventuras, transporte y más.\nTransporte\n\nEach of the links above will take you to a detailed travel guide for that specific island, covering activities, transportation, and more.\nTransportation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n![454545325326732723238923899883289382.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/0ba344eb166dffef9f057b9b9b2ca3cf49966045.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMoverse entre las islas es, sin duda, el aspecto más difícil desde el punto de vista logístico de unas vacaciones en el Caribe, específicamente en las Islas de Sotavento. Aunque muchas islas están próximas, estas islas están bastante dispersas, lo que significa que no hay una ruta \"lógica\" para recorrerlas, a diferencia de las Islas de Barlovento, que tienen una configuración más lineal.\n\nGetting around the islands is undoubtedly the most logistically challenging aspect of a Caribbean vacation, particularly in the Leeward Islands. Although many of the islands are close to one another, they are quite scattered, meaning there is no “logical” route to take, unlike the Windward Islands, which are arranged in a more linear fashion.\n\n\n\n\n\n![454553232566732732883899323290399320932290.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/c57a79a6cdc1af6d4c43d8406784fd049111b948.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n¿Por qué visitar algunas de las islas más pequeñas? A menudo, las pequeñas islas caribeñas se agrupan en la percepción de las personas; mi objetivo era descubrir qué las hace únicas. En ciertos aspectos son parecidas (clima, geografía e historia), pero en otros son bastante distintas\n\n\nWhy visit some of the smaller islands? People often lump the small Caribbean islands together; my goal was to discover what makes them unique. In some ways they are similar (climate, geography, and history), but in others they are quite different\n\n\n\n\n![454554325625377832873832938938932898.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/608693516afe275bbee00d13eaa71820d9949985.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n (islas holandesas frente a territorios franceses frente a colonias británicas). Además, las playas, la vida nocturna y la gastronomía varían en cada sitio. Analicemos qué se necesita para explorar varias islas de las Islas de Sotavento y las Antillas Menores.\n\n\n(Dutch islands vs. French territories vs. British colonies). In addition, the beaches, nightlife, and cuisine vary from place to place. Let’s take a look at what it takes to explore several islands in the Leeward Islands and the Lesser Antilles.\n\n\n\n\n\n![45532256738393293023209030032003233244.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/03a3ef2c4e3f95c0821ed142640e93d499292ce6.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLa mejor base para viajar de isla en isla\nCon la distribución de las islas de Sotavento, sugerimos quedarte en San Martín como principal base, desde donde podrás visitar alrededor de la mitad de las islas principales. Para llegar al resto de los destinos más destacados del Caribe, necesitarás hacer combinaciones de vuelos cortos.\n\n\nThe best base for island hopping\nGiven the layout of the Leeward Islands, we recommend staying in St. Martin as your main base, from which you can visit about half of the main islands. To reach the rest of the Caribbean’s top destinations, you’ll need to take a series of short flights.\n\n\n\n\n![45544354356363277378378327389329382389.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/ba43dce4f416f3be9bb94a1b556d7811905afd33.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n San Martín es una opción ideal como base, ya que está bien desarrollada y es la isla con mejor comunicación; esto permite que encuentres un alojamiento encantador junto a la playa, disfrutes de deliciosa comida cada noche y te desplaces con facilidad.\n\n\nSan Martín is an ideal base, as it is well-developed and has the best transportation links on the island; this means you can find charming beachfront accommodations, enjoy delicious meals every night, and get around with ease.\n\n\n\n![45545435636732728932893893202909239090320093209.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/5d7e3e78ae9cfb3919133e556fd3fd592f345009.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSi inicias tu aventura hacia el sur y te desplazas de isla en isla rumbo al norte, desde las Islas de Barlovento hacia las Islas de Sotavento, o simplemente en esa área, San Vicente es un excelente punto de inicio gracias a su reciente Aeropuerto Internacional de Argyle, que brinda buenas conexiones de vuelos internacionales. Este también podría ser un gran lugar para los viajeros que desean hacer conexiones en su trayecto hacia el sur, debido a las buenas opciones aéreas.\n\nIf you’re starting your journey south and traveling from island to island heading north—from the Windward Islands to the Leeward Islands—or simply exploring that region, St. Vincent is an excellent starting point thanks to its newly opened Argyle International Airport, which offers good international flight connections. This could also be a great place for travelers looking to make connections on their way south, thanks to the good flight options.\n\n\n\n\n![4664647347832832982929209202900909.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/55626cdadd258e9dc797a8598b6232b00841736e.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPara cruzar hacia prácticamente cualquier isla, salvo que forme parte del mismo territorio, se necesita un pasaporte y nuevos formularios de aduana en cada ocasión. Debido al tamaño reducido de las islas, esta burocracia implica un costo significativo que los viajeros enfrentan. La región realmente requiere de una zona Schengen en el Caribe, donde las personas puedan desplazarse sin restricciones entre las islas.\n\nTo travel to virtually any island—unless it is part of the same territory—you need a passport and must fill out new customs forms each time. Given the small size of the islands, this bureaucracy imposes a significant cost on travelers. The region truly needs a Schengen zone in the Caribbean, where people can move freely between the islands.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n![444343532563272728278289289228982982893389.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/d1ae05634542433884045a873e14669d6a7caea0.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSin embargo, esto todavía no existe, así que incluso al viajar entre territorios que en teoría pertenecen al mismo país, se necesita pasaporte. Por ejemplo, para ir de la parte neerlandesa de San Martín a Saba o San Eustaquio se exige pasaporte, aun cuando ambas islas son parte del Reino de los Países Bajos.\n\nHowever, this system does not yet exist, so even when traveling between territories that theoretically belong to the same country, a passport is required. For example, a passport is required to travel from the Dutch part of St. Maarten to Saba or St. Eustatius, even though both islands are part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n![4454547854788732873272838728292120191292092929219.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/44c17ad1a79d6543849215843fa424ff07f6878f.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n De igual modo, para viajar entre la sección francesa de San Martín y San Bartolomé también es necesario un control de pasaporte. Prepárate para llevar siempre tu pasaporte, documentos y tarjetas de débito cada vez que salgas de tu lugar base, ya que cambiarás de moneda varias veces al moverte entre islas; más información sobre esto a continuación.\n\n\nSimilarly, passport control is also required when traveling between the French part of Saint Martin and Saint Barthélemy. Be sure to always carry your passport, documents, and debit cards whenever you leave your base, as you’ll be exchanging currency several times while traveling between islands; more information on this follows below.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n![45545435636732728932893893202909239090320093209.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/5d7e3e78ae9cfb3919133e556fd3fd592f345009.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEn cuanto a la manera de viajar en ferry y avión entre las islas del Caribe, los ferris no llegan a todas las islas de la región. Es posible alcanzar algunos conjuntos de islas mediante ferry, sin embargo, suelen hacer paradas en una isla determinada, aunque haya otra cercana. \n\nAs for traveling by ferry and plane between the Caribbean islands, ferries do not serve all the islands in the region. It is possible to reach some island groups by ferry; however, they usually stop at a specific island, even if there is another one nearby.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n![4664647347832832982929209202900909.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/55626cdadd258e9dc797a8598b6232b00841736e.jpg)\n\n\n\n\nEsto implica que tendrás que optar por vuelos entre islas si deseas explorar la región. Los precios de los vuelos suelen ser bastante altos en comparación con su tiempo de duración. Por ejemplo, un vuelo de 20 minutos de Antigua a Guadalupe costó más de 200 dólares. Casi la mitad del costo de los billetes en la zona corresponde a impuestos y tarifas.\n\nThis means you’ll have to take inter-island flights if you want to explore the region. Flight prices tend to be quite high relative to the flight duration. For example, a 20-minute flight from Antigua to Guadeloupe cost over $200. Nearly half the cost of tickets in the region consists of taxes and fees.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n![45532256738393293023209030032003233244.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/03a3ef2c4e3f95c0821ed142640e93d499292ce6.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConsiderando esto: hay un ferry que va desde las Islas Vírgenes de los Estados Unidos hacia las Islas Vírgenes Británicas, pero para ir de las Islas Vírgenes Británicas a Anguila —que está a solamente 64 kilómetros— hay que volar.\n\nThat being said: there is a ferry that runs from the U.S. Virgin Islands to the British Virgin Islands, but to get from the British Virgin Islands to Anguilla—which is only 64 kilometers away—you have to fly.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n![454545325326732723238923899883289382.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/0ba344eb166dffef9f057b9b9b2ca3cf49966045.jpg)\n\n\n\n Esto se debe en parte a las distancias, en parte a las condiciones del mar entre las islas y también a razones económicas y a la popularidad de las rutas entre islas. Algunas trayectorias son solo operadas por cruceros y no reciben suficientes viajeros independientes como para hacer viable la existencia de ferris o más vuelos cortos.\nThis is due in part to the distances involved, in part to sea conditions between the islands, and also to economic factors and the popularity of the inter-island routes. Some routes are served only by cruise ships and do not attract enough independent travelers to make ferries or additional short-haul flights viable.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n![45453536223788899834930030333223.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/bb1bb6239c365899fc192a3067c2ddd1aaa826ce.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEste aspecto complica la organización de unas vacaciones explorando las islas caribeñas. Una vez que salgas de San Martín, necesitarás ser flexible con tus horarios, ya que un retraso de un día en una isla puede afectar el resto de tu planificación. \n\nThis makes it difficult to plan a vacation exploring the Caribbean islands. Once you leave St. Martin, you’ll need to be flexible with your schedule, as a one-day delay on one island can throw off the rest of your plans.",

La distancia focal de 24-70 mm es increíblemente versátil, incluyendo gran angular (24 mm), estándar (35/50 mm) y teleobjetivo corto para retratos (70 mm).\n\nFew lenses are as essential to a manufacturer’s lineup as a 24-70mm f/2.8, making the Sigma 24-70 ART one of the most significant releases of the year. The 24-70mm focal length is incredibly versatile, covering wide-angle (24mm), standard (35/50mm), and short telephoto for portraits (70mm).\n\n\n![7777326325536653267222902902092902290.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/bd400e290aafd3b9b9b2a9d994dd5e854747ce9e.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLos profesionales valoran esta versatilidad en el encuadre, además de que estos objetivos generalmente proporcionan nitidez y calidad de imagen similares a las de las lentes de focal fija. Los entusiastas que buscan una mejora notable en la calidad óptica (y que no les incomode el peso ni el costo adicional) tienden a reemplazar su objetivo de kit por un 24-70 mm f/2.8. \n\n\nProfessionals appreciate this versatility in framing, and these lenses generally offer sharpness and image quality comparable to those of prime lenses. Enthusiasts looking for a significant improvement in optical quality (and who aren’t put off by the extra weight or cost) tend to replace their kit lens with a 24-70mm f/2.8.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n![777783656563677832832989120120299921902190.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/054d54d2208a9dbbd38b1016bdbf42b22a01cb5c.jpg)\n\n\n\n\nTambién son una opción muy conveniente para viajar, ya que se puede capturar el 90 % de las fotos de un viaje (quizás todas, si no se requieren tomas de teleobjetivo) con los rangos de distancia focal que ofrece un 24-70 mm f/2.8. Durante años he recorrido distintas partes del mundo, frecuentemente llevando una bandolera con un objetivo de 24-70 mm montado en un cuerpo de cámara de formato completo, complementado con un Canon EF 70-300 mm f/4-5.6L IS como teleobjetivo, y he documentado docenas de bodas y eventos con la combinación de 24-70 + 70-200 mm f/2.8.\n\n\nThey’re also a very convenient option for travel, since you can capture 90% of the photos on a trip (perhaps all of them, if you don’t need telephoto shots) with the focal length range offered by a 24-70mm f/2.8 lens. For years I have traveled to different parts of the world, often carrying a sling bag with a 24-70mm lens mounted on a full-frame camera body, supplemented by a Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS as a telephoto lens, and I have documented dozens of weddings and events with the 24-70 + 70-200mm f/2.8 combination.\n\n\n\n\n\n![77778632545678929292920190909092920112.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/07baa0ce637c3222b1ac830075e211ac0d0c9b70.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n El Sigma EX 24-70 mm f/2.8 que existía antes era un vestigio de su relanzamiento previo a Global Vision. Antes de la llegada del 35 mm f/1.4 ART, Sigma era la marca económica para aquellos que no podían comprar objetivos de mayor calidad, con algunos lentes que eran de culto pero carecían de prestigio en el ámbito de la fotografía.\n\n\nThe previous Sigma EX 24-70mm f/2.8 was a holdover from its pre-Global Vision relaunch. Before the arrival of the 35mm f/1.4 ART, Sigma was the budget brand for those who couldn't afford higher-quality lenses, with some lenses that had a cult following but lacked prestige in the photography world.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n![7873466345345637278822982983893.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/c7e743a3e6b29fe00e6c8d50c80be1ce3c992df4.jpg)\n\n\n\n\nTodo eso cambió cuando la compañía fue relanzada. Los objetivos ART son impresionantes, elegantes y visualmente impactantes. En la mayoría de los casos, son (y continúan siendo) más económicos que los objetivos de marcas propias, pero la competencia se da más en calidad que en precio.\nAll that changed when the company was relaunched. ART lenses are impressive, elegant, and visually striking. In most cases, they are (and remain) more affordable than in-house brand lenses, but the competition lies more in quality than in price.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n![78743645665372829191292090118928921189.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/bb195b8552969381554d3858db877bf2525c4b93.jpg)\n\n\n\n\nActualmente, pocos objetivos generan tanto entusiasmo como el nuevo lanzamiento de un objetivo de la serie ART, y mi evaluación del Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM | ART no es la excepción. ¡Hay un gran interés por el 24-70 ART! He revisado casi todos los lanzamientos recientes de Sigma durante los últimos cuatro años.\n\nThese days, few lenses generate as much excitement as the release of a new ART series lens, and my review of the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM | ART is no exception. There’s a lot of buzz around the 24-70 ART! I’ve reviewed nearly all of Sigma’s recent releases over the past four years.\n\n\n\n\n\n![7877878435646543763232329390390329.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/e8ca3dcd55389e1ecd143cca99ca1e5185f56f51.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Estoy analizando unos objetivos para la montura Sony E en este momento, utilizando su adaptador MC-11 para hacer pruebas en una cámara Sony. Hay algunas diferencias, por supuesto, pero en general, los objetivos de la serie ART (especialmente los de distancia focal fija) han puesto la resolución como su prioridad principal y suelen ofrecer la mayor nitidez, o estar muy cerca de lograrla en su categoría. \n\nI’m currently testing some lenses for the Sony E-mount, using the MC-11 adapter to run tests on a Sony camera. There are some differences, of course, but overall, the ART series lenses (especially the prime lenses) prioritize resolution above all else and generally offer the sharpest images—or come very close to doing so—in their class.\n\n\n\n\n\n![787854675467738732832893293290390903939032032.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/b1f7f71b5766147227f710098bd71b258c40463f.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSin embargo, a veces creo que esto tiene un inconveniente: aunque me gusta mucho la nitidez, la reproducción del color no siempre me impresiona, ya que a menudo es algo \"clínica\". Algunos amantes del audio prefieren el vinilo por su sonido cálido y natural, que sienten que se pierde en los formatos digitales perfectamente limpios. Para ellos, esos formatos son fríos y distantes, menos atractivos y, por ende, menos deseables. \n\n\nHowever, I sometimes think this has a downside: although I really like the clarity, the color reproduction doesn't always impress me, as it often comes across as somewhat “clinical.” Some audiophiles prefer vinyl for its warm, natural sound, which they feel is lost in perfectly clean digital formats. To them, those formats are cold and distant, less appealing, and therefore less desirable.\n\n\n\n\n\n![78786587589498383290329032032003203.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/613f4b14c0a8e1714d829947941cb739cb0d1bea.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuizás esta comparación exagera mis pensamientos, pero puedo afirmar que raramente me ha encantado la reproducción del color (el \"aspecto\" general de las imágenes) de un objetivo Sigma ART sin algún tipo de edición. El reciente objetivo Sigma 135mm f/1.8 ART mejoró notablemente esa característica, pero al compararlo con el Zeiss Milvus APO Sonnar 135mm f/2 que tengo (que tiene esa calidad de reproducción que menciono), de manera instintiva prefería las imágenes del Milvus. \n\nPerhaps this comparison is a bit of an exaggeration, but I can say that I’ve rarely been thrilled with the color rendering (the overall “look” of the images) from a Sigma ART lens without some kind of editing. The recent Sigma 135mm f/1.8 ART lens significantly improved that characteristic, but when comparing it to the Zeiss Milvus APO Sonnar 135mm f/2 that I own (which has the rendering quality I mentioned), I instinctively preferred the images from the Milvus.\n\n\n\n\n![7878763563465347383783232932932.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/56914a667c784c6b05ceb20df4877e0884c5dc88.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNo me malinterpreten. Si no fuera por el Milvus, probablemente elegiría el 135 ART, ya que es un objetivo bastante excepcional, pero… Como analizaremos en esta reseña, el 24-70 ART es una excepción dentro de la línea Sigma. Aunque su nitidez no me asombra, aprecio la calidad de imagen que proporciona.\n\n\n\nDon't get me wrong. If it weren't for the Milvus, I'd probably choose the 135 ART, since it's a pretty exceptional lens, but… As we'll discuss in this review, the 24-70 ART is an exception within the Sigma lineup. Although its sharpness doesn't blow me away, I appreciate the image quality it delivers.\n\n\n\n\n![7878783362766732898929001299090129012129012.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/05bb1cfab4dbdb5a51d44bd57d5a5e2cb16f346d.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYa lo he publicado y las opiniones son variadas. Algunos prefieren la máxima resolución y se sienten decepcionados con este objetivo. Por el contrario, otros comparten mi visión: un objetivo con suficiente nitidez para casi cualquier situación, pero que también ofrece un toque distintivo. Proporciona una excelente reproducción del color, un gran contraste (algo que no siempre se encuentra en la serie ART) y un bokeh muy agradable.\n\n\nI've already posted about it, and opinions are mixed. Some prefer the highest resolution and are disappointed with this lens. Others, however, share my view: it's a lens with enough sharpness for almost any situation, but one that also offers a distinctive touch. It delivers excellent color reproduction, great contrast (something not always found in the ART series), and very pleasing bokeh.\n\n\n\n\n![7878784367346543673832329932932903290323902390.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/278f63ea80f6eb707a1e5462d499c161342a2369.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n¿Te interesa? El Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM | ART tiene un nombre extenso. Analicemos lo que significa. DG es la forma en que Sigma señala el tipo de sistema de cámara para el cual está diseñado el objetivo. DG indica que está creado para cámaras de fotograma completo, y yo he probado el objetivo principalmente en una Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, además de algunas tomas en una EOS 6D Mark II que estaba evaluando al mismo tiempo. \n\nInterested? The Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM | ART has quite a mouthful of a name. Let’s break down what it means. DG is Sigma’s way of indicating the type of camera system the lens is designed for. DG means it’s designed for full-frame cameras, and I’ve tested the lens primarily on a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, as well as taking some shots on an EOS 6D Mark II that I was reviewing at the same time.\n\n\n\n\n![7878784534566573282783289928892128911891289.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/3ac50e4eca18f629e32e3062b9a24a616b6ab439.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTambién se puede utilizar con cámaras APS-C (con sensor recortado), donde es necesario aplicar el factor de recorte correspondiente del sistema de cámara (1.6x en Canon; 1.5x en Nikon/Sony) a la distancia focal. El objetivo se ofrece con monturas nativas para Canon, Nikon y Sigma, pero se ajusta fácilmente (y eficazmente) a la montura E de Sony usando el adaptador MC-11 de Sigma. \n\nIt can also be used with APS-C cameras (with a cropped sensor), in which case you must apply the camera system’s corresponding crop factor (1.6x for Canon; 1.5x for Nikon/Sony) to the focal length. The lens is available with native mounts for Canon, Nikon, and Sigma, but it fits easily (and effectively) onto Sony’s E-mount using Sigma’s MC-11 adapter.\n\n\n\n\n\n![7878787834636536566728929129120210099120921.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/166f7fadd1ca6dd1bee1be651af4f2b55945e7e1.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTambién usé el objetivo en una cámara Sony a6500 APS-C con el adaptador MC-11, donde comprobé que funcionaba correctamente, con un enfoque bastante rápido y preciso y gran calidad de imagen. Hablaré un poco más sobre el enfoque en esa sección. Al ser un objetivo de fotograma completo, es más voluminoso y pesado que uno diseñado para un círculo de imagen más pequeño.\n\n\nI also used the lens on a Sony a6500 APS-C camera with the MC-11 adapter, where I found that it worked perfectly, with fairly fast and accurate autofocus and excellent image quality. I’ll talk a bit more about the autofocus in that section. Since it’s a full-frame lens, it’s bulkier and heavier than one designed for a smaller image circle.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n![787878578548748949320393039039292.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/cc908963dba2c5aa740f41358aa22147d804264b.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Los objetivos de la serie ART de Sigma han sido tradicionalmente algunos de los más grandes y pesados de sus respectivas categorías, y este caso no es la excepción. Con 1020 g (2.24 lb), el 24-70 ART supera en peso a todos sus competidores, excepto al Nikkor 24-70 VR (1070 g).

Esto se debe a que, a diferencia de España,\n\nTo begin with, it is important to remember that Saint Barthélemy (Saint-Barthélemy in French) belongs, along with the islands of Martinique, Guadeloupe, and Saint Martin, to what is known as the French Antilles. This is because, unlike Spain,\n\n\n\n\n\n![223828748374336761287819191900920921092190210290.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/897eb8df87f857f4c91f7f1a422a0021a9c9df84.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n que perdió todas sus colonias por diversas razones, otras naciones de Europa, como Francia, el Reino Unido o los Países Bajos, todavía mantienen su presencia (bajo diferentes modalidades) en áreas muy remotas de su país.\n\n\nWhile it lost all its colonies for various reasons, other European nations, such as France, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands, still maintain a presence (in various forms) in very remote parts of their countries.\n\n\n\n\n\n![2239898877673832289229022902.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/0f7b8cc69d6ae9a1a21971a15e3880e560a08105.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\nEn el caso de Martinica y Guadalupe, tienen el estatus de región y departamento de ultramar de Francia, integrándose en la República Francesa y en la Unión Europea como regiones ultraperiféricas. \n\nIn the case of Martinique and Guadeloupe, they have the status of overseas regions and departments of France, and are part of the French Republic and the European Union as outermost regions.\n\n\n\n\n![229932983288473764667328292902092002233232.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/de64900f62c980ba3be998ae7e7d9c3237768f22.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\nSin embargo, San Bartolomé y San Martín, al optar por separarse de las anteriores en 2003, se transformaron en “colectividades territoriales de ultramar” que, aunque pertenecen a Francia y tienen representación en su Senado, dejaron de ser parte de la Unión Europea.\n\n\nHowever, when Saint Barthélemy and Saint Martin chose to separate from the former in 2003, they became “overseas collectivities” which, although they belong to France and are represented in the French Senate, are no longer part of the European Union.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n![233773467467648329891289120290902092901290.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/86fdd23083f470dbaacfaeee6d1306b6e5a44587.jpg)\n\n\n\n\nPara tener una idea clara de lo que tratamos, la isla de San Bartolomé abarca aproximadamente 24 kilómetros cuadrados y su población actual supera levemente los 10.000 habitantes. Sin embargo, cuenta con una historia muy interesante que vale la pena conocer.\n\n\nTo give you a clear idea of what we're talking about, the island of Saint Barthélemy covers approximately 24 square kilometers and has a current population of just over 10,000. However, it has a fascinating history that is well worth learning about.\n\n\n![237736734643667327828912821912092090190290292.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/dbeaebc193ebace2721d15f9a08668a3f09116f9.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n En primer lugar, es importante mencionar que fue Cristóbal Colón quien la descubrió durante su segundo viaje. Arribó en 1493 y, en honor a su hermano, le dio el nombre de “San Bartolomé”. Los nativos la denominaban “Ounalao”, un término que aparece en el escudo de armas de la isla, donde se hace referencia a sus propietarios sucesivos, a excepción de España, aunque el nombre de la isla sea de origen español, como ya indicamos.\n\nFirst of all, it is important to note that it was Christopher Columbus who discovered the island during his second voyage. He arrived in 1493 and, in honor of his brother, named it “San Bartolomé.” The natives called it “Ounalao,” a term that appears on the island’s coat of arms, which refers to its successive owners, with the exception of Spain, even though the island’s name is of Spanish origin, as we have already noted.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n![23832787834436436728822189219219219002912992109.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/75176f8b79fa627a043f3a2fdc6823313320c82b.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\nLa isla estuvo bajo dominio español hasta la mitad del siglo XVII, momento en que fue tomada por los franceses, luego ocupada por Suecia y, finalmente, regresó a manos francesas, tras un período en el cual fue administrada por la Orden de San Juan de Jerusalén, de RThe island remained under Spanish rule until the mid-17th century, when it was captured by the French, then occupied by Sweden, and finally returned to French control after a period during which it was administered by the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes, and of Malta.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n![238838747464677328832928920091201201202120021012.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/13b3c7fdf3ea2d59e18616451ecb16a80ab518ca.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n¿La Orden de Malta? Así es, aunque muchos la relacionemos con el Mediterráneo y la protección del cristianismo contra los turcos, también tuvo presencia en el Caribe, gestionando territorios bajo jurisdicción francesa, por los que pagaba un precio simbólico de una “corona de oro” cuando un nuevo rey ascendía al trono en Francia, algo similar a lo que España hacía al “alquilar” Malta\n\nThe Order of Malta? That’s right. Although many of us associate it with the Mediterranean and the defense of Christianity against the Turks, it also had a presence in the Caribbean, administering territories under French jurisdiction, for which it paid a symbolic fee of one “gold crown” whenever a new king ascended the throne in France—something similar to what Spain did when it “leased” Malta.\n\n\n![2389238738443743657782872892912219012991.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/52c1c53a610bf7ea3d6f0cf12e8ec9170d27e4c3.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n. Por esta razón, en el escudo se observa la cruz de ocho puntas de la Orden, junto con las flores de lis de Francia y las coronas de la realeza sueca. En 1785, Francia entregó la isla a Suecia, a cambio de acceso libre al puerto sueco de Gotemburgo. De esa época, que duró hasta 1877, se conserva el nombre de la capital de la isla, que se llama “Gustavia” en homenaje al rey Gustavo III de Suecia.\n\n\n. For this reason, the coat of arms features the Order’s eight-pointed cross, along with the fleurs-de-lis of France and the crowns of the Swedish monarchy. In 1785, France ceded the island to Sweden in exchange for free access to the Swedish port of Gothenburg. From that period, which lasted until 1877, the name of the island’s capital has been preserved; it is called “Gustavia” in honor of King Gustav III of Sweden.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n![2389837348437678328939328932239032902300303923290320932.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/ab3221142d4e691659cd27841ac76f5162bd8554.jpg)\n\n\n\nAlgunos se cuestionarán cuál era el motivo por el que Suecia estaba interesada en ese lugar tan lejano, pero fue una de las naciones de Europa que, al igual que Inglaterra, Francia o los Países Bajos, miraban con desconfianza la dominación española en América y su control comercial. \n\nSome may wonder why Sweden was interested in such a distant place, but it was one of the European nations—along with England, France, and the Netherlands—that viewed Spanish domination in the Americas and its control over trade with suspicion.\n\n\n\n\n\n![24323325423732873283899349340349034909349.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/2fc61f9d80cc0f96a06de22fb00e9e5c3e435510.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDado que les resultó imposible establecer colonias permanentes en el continente, bien defendido por España, decidieron ocupar pequeñas islas en el Caribe, las cuales se convirtieron en bases para el saqueo (a través de piratas y corsarios) o para comerciar en su propio beneficio.\n\nSince they were unable to establish permanent colonies on the mainland, which was well defended by Spain, they decided to occupy small islands in the Caribbean, which became bases for raiding (by pirates and privateers) or for trading for their own profit.\n\n\n\n\n\n![27834783464634566778281298292290102992092920920190.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/bb3da7cd30fc9d48fe244985b51ef8f6f9593b45.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEn este contexto, se formó la Compañía Sueca de las Indias Occidentales y, gracias a las ventajas aduaneras que se establecieron, un número considerable de barcos llegó a la isla con mercancías o esclavos.\n\nIn this context, the Swedish West India Company was formed, and thanks to the customs privileges that were established, a considerable number of ships arrived on the island carrying goods or slaves.\n\n\n\n![282387343435678732932893290329032.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/a40ac5aad44876de8d1b5c4bf4659bbd0ee64e69.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Sin embargo, con la independencia de los virreinatos españoles y, previamente, de los Estados Unidos, el comercio decayó y, en 1812, la colonia pasó a ser propiedad personal del rey sueco, aunque, al darse cuenta de que los gastos eran mayores que los ingresos, decidió devolverla al control del parlamento hasta que, en 1878, optaron por retornársela a Francia.\n\nHowever, with the independence of the Spanish viceroyalties and, earlier, of the United States, trade declined, and in 1812 the colony became the personal property of the Swedish king; however, upon realizing that expenses exceeded revenues, he decided to return it to parliamentary control until, in 1878, they chose to return it to France.\n\n\n\n![28329893783453456566712812912829000120129021921.jpg](https://img.blurt.blog/blurtimage/alanvielve/ea1cd8e64d3ca64a3d3f1636d8c780e5de80921f.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Las playas hermosas y una legislación restrictiva que impide la construcción de edificios altos han convertido a este lugar en un destino favorito para ricos con grandes mansiones en zonas que quedan fuera del alcance de otros turistas que, por otro lado, no son muy numerosos, debido a la escasez de opciones hoteleras y a las dificultades para llegar hasta allí.
