Juan Griego
Juan Griego is a small city in the north part of the island that, like Porlamar, also depends on the commerce to support its economy.
In Juan Griego, there are many shops with very attractive prices. It is said that the city was named after a Greek shipwrecked man that swam to its coast. The view from the bay is just amazing and very romantic.
Watching the sunset at El Fortin de La Galera is one of the peak points of a holiday on Margarita Island. We all have a picture of ourselves sitting on one of its canyons.
At El Fortin de La Galera, children from Juan Griego will offer to tell you the story behind El Fortin for a small tip. The narration is quite fast but very interesting to hear.
Many tourists enjoy eating at one of the restaurants located at the bay so they can admire the end of the sunset. Lately, the quality of the meals has dropped, but you can always have a cold beer or a nice cocktail.
