I have always defended the search for charming nooks even in destinations as touristic as the Isla Margarita in Venezuela and these are two clear examples. La Asunción is less than 15 minutes by car from Porlamar (the main urban and economic center of the island). La Asunción is a small city that seems asleep.

It is also known by the name “Vieux Carré“. It was founded in 1718. It is the oldest neighborhood in the city; around which New Orleans grew until it became...
