CONCLUSION

Guayacos are a very important part of Guayaquil’s history, they have made Guayaquil a different place, with its own language and revolutionary ideas, and have deserved the title of “Guayaquileño Madera de Guerrero”, that shows to everyone that we have strong ideas of ourselves that project us a better future, just like Guayas and Quil tales, we do not permit anybody to destroy us easily, because we were born to be rude and never give up until our revolutionary dreams get real.

CONCLUSION

This job is dedicated to every single guayaco who has made Guayaquil in a place where you can find some “panas” to “farrear” just by drinking a “chela”, while they are “once” with the “pacos” when they decided to drink on the “esnaqui”. Thanks to all of them who has made a different Guayaquil to live.
