Guayaquil, officially Santiago de Guayaquil, is the largest and the most populous city in Ecuador, as well as that nation's main port.
Legend tells that the city was named after an Indigenous Chief, "Guayas", and his wife, "Quil". Both of them chose to die before surrendering themselves to the Spaniards.

My Spanish dictionary translates forjador as forger (of metals); smith, blacksmith; inventor (of lies, stories, tricks, etc.)
