This shows that Apache gets the correct Host: header from Varnish.

The log you attached shows a cache hit and is therefore useless.

No.  The value of backend.host is *not* used for the Host: header.
However, "nuevo.ecomania.info" and "127.0.0.1" are *not* equivalent.  My
conclusion is that Apache is misconfigured; you probably have
"NameVirtualHost 189.129.5.82" instead of "NameVirtualHost *", or your
VirtualHost entry starts with "<VirtualHost nuevo.ecomania.info>"
instead of "<VirtualHost *>".
