== 🏭 The Engine of the Peninsula ==
'''La Libertad''' is the most populous and economically active city in the province. Unlike its neighbors, its identity is built on trade, the oil industry (EP Petroecuador), and the largest artisanal fishing port in the region. It serves as the "bridge" connecting the tourism of Salinas to the administrative capital of Santa Elena.
