They said that the sunsets in Juan Griego, Margarita Island, Venezuela; were extremely beautiful and I confirmed it. One night I charged my Canon 60D with my 135mm lens, packed a bag and the next day I was ready to wake up early and spend a day touring places I didn't know. Arriving at Juan Griego, I went straight to the tourist part "El Fortín de la Galera", upstairs there were people who knew the history of this place and for a small tip they told you in a very picturesque way the origin of the name and the story of the battle of Matasietes.
This place was built in the XVI century to preserve possible attacks from the sea and the name of the city comes from Juan el Griego, a Spanish captain of ships, who came from Seville. He lived in Margarita in the middle of the XVI century and it is said that he was one of the first settlers of the island dedicated to the slave trade.
Juan Griego Bay offers visitors a spectacular beach with calm waters. To the north is La Galera, another beautiful beach with gentle waves. A little away from the city, there is also Playa Caribe, a beach to explore caves and watch dazzling sunsets. That day I wanted to stay until sunset, but the place was a bit lonely and I put my Canon away, however I took out my phone and managed to capture the last picture of my Post.
I hope you liked this series as much as I did. A hug to all of you who read me!
## ESPAÑOL
Decían que los atardeceres en Juan Griego, Isla de Margarita, Venezuela; eran extremadamente hermosos y lo confirmé. Una noche puse a cargar mi Canon 60D con mi objetivo/lente de 135mm, preparé un bolso y al día siguiente ya estaba preparada para despertar temprano y pasar un día recorriendo lugares que no conocía. Al llegar a Juan Griego, me dirigí directo a la parte turística “El Fortín de la Galera”, arriba habían personas que se conocían la historia de este lugar y por una pequeña propina te contaban de una manera muy pintoresca el origen del nombre y el relato de la batalla de Matasietes.
Este lugar fue construido en el siglo XVI para preservar posibles ataques desde el mar y el nombre de la ciudad, viene de Juan el Griego, un capitán de barcos español, que venía desde Sevilla. Él vivió en Margarita a mediados del siglo XVIy dicen que fue uno de los primeros pobladores de la Isla dedicándose al comercio de esclavos.
La Bahía de Juan Griego ofrece al visitante una espectacular playa de aguas tranquilas. Al norte se encuentra La Galera, otra hermosa playa de suave oleaje. Un poco retirada de la ciudad, también está playa Caribe, una playa para explorar cuevas y observar atardeceres deslumbrantes. Ese día me quise quedar hasta el atardecer, pero el lugar estaba un poco solo y guarde mi Canon, sin embargo saqué mi teléfono y logré capturar la última fotografía de mi Post.
Espero que esta serie les haya gustado tanto como a mí. Un abrazo a todos los que me leen!
