La Asuncion
La Asuncion is the capital of Margarita Island. It is a small cozy city located in the centre of the island. Moreover, it was founded in 1565 by Pedro Cervantes de Albornoz.
One of the main landmarks of La Asuncion is El Castillo de Santa Rosa. It is a fort located on a hill from where you can see the city, and the sea in the horizon. The main function of the fort was to protect the city from pirates and other enemies at the time. The fort is now open to the public as a museum from 8.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m., and the entry is free.
One of the oldest cathedrals in Venezuela is located in La Asuncion. It was built in 1570, and it has worked as an architectonic model for other cathedrals around the country. It is open every day for mass at around 5.00 p.m.
In front of the cathedral, there is the Museo Nueva Cadiz which holds a permanent exposition of the city of Nueva Cadiz (currently Isla Cubagua) in past times. Nueva Cadiz was the first Spanish city ever 
built in the New World (1528). The museum is open between 8.30 a.m. and 4.00 p.m.
Down the road of the cathedral, heading for the House of the Governor, there is Mr Pacheco's photo studio, one of the best photographers in La Asuncion. At his shop, you will find an exhibition of beautiful and breathtaking yesteryear pictures of Margarita Island, and Venezuela.
Also in La Asuncion, Panaderia San Juan Bosco is very famous. Here you can enjoy sweets made in an old fashion way like Pan Aliñado (seasoned bread), Rosquillas (ring-shaped pastry), and Cocadas (beverage made with milk and coconut.
Close to the cathedral and Plaza Bolivar, there is beautiful souvenir shop where you can sit, relax, and have a nice cup of coffee.
