Porlamar | AllCheapFares

 

The city was founded on the southeast coast in 1536, less than 40 years after Christopher Columbus first sailed through. Porlamar was a quiet fishing village until the arrival of air travel. Since then, it has become the central hub of the island with shops, restaurants and nightlife supported mostly by European and Venezuelan tourism.

 

Porlamar is Margarita Island's center of commerce. Since it was granted free-port status in 1973, its boutique-lined avenues have been crowded with tourists. Porlamar is the largest city of Margarita island. It's a lovely city! It has several shopping malls, with the Sambil Mall as one of the highlights.
