從Barcelona，Venezuela，開車沿著風景線一路向南向東。
這是非常美的加勒比海海岸,　可和加州的一號線比美,　但更有熱帶風韻.
沿途有熱帶樹林，白色沙灘，星羅棋布的小島點綴著平靜的港灣。
cumana 是歐洲人到南美的最早定居點之一.
早年街道和民居仍有完好的保留.

去Castillo de San Antonio de la Eminencia 還得坐船15分鍾，再乘local taxi 10 分鍾，才能見到南美最早的fortress 殘牆。

Cumaná is the capital of Venezuela's Sucre State. It is located 402 km east of Caracas. It was one of the first settlements founded by Europeans on the South American mainland[1], in 1515 by Franciscan monks, but due to successful attacks by the indigenous people, it had to be refounded several times. For example, in 1521 by a group of Spaniards under the command of Gonzalo de Ocampo re-established it, and again in 1569 Diego Hernández de Serpa had to rebuild it. After Amerindian attacks became less of a threat, the city was on several occasions destroyed by earthquakes. Thus the oldest part of the city is late 17th and 18th century; almost none of the 16th century architecture survived.

Sucre is something more than beaches when having cities like Cumaná, capital of the state. Founded by the Spaniards in 1521, Cumaná takes pride in being the oldest town on South America's mainland. Among the interesting tourist sites of this city there are:

Castillo de San Antonio de la Eminencia: this fortress is the symbol of the city, it was built in 1659 and was raised on a hill from which you can have a beautiful panoramic view of Cumaná and the surrounding.
