Juan Griego
Juan Griego, Nueva Esparta, Venezuela
Description
Juan Griego is a picturesque port city in the north of Margarita Island, capital of the Marcano municipality in Nueva Esparta state and renowned for its sunsets over the bay. Its name evokes Juan the Greek, a navigator born in Seville in the early 16th century, and its history is tied to the independence struggle: in 1811 it was enabled as a port and the La Libertad battery was built there to defend it. As one of the northernmost settlements in Venezuela, Juan Griego is a connection point between the island's seafaring tradition and the commercial life of Nueva Esparta.
Juan Griego, capital of the Marcano municipality, recorded a population of around 20,421 inhabitants according to the 2011 census (Wikipedia, "Municipio Marcano", accessed 2026). Its economy relies on fishing, tourism, and commerce, fueled by the appeal of its bay, its historic fort, and the warmth of its people.
