Güiria

Güiria is the capital city of Valdez Municipality in the Venezuelan state of Sucre. Güiria was the place where the military campaign for South American independence set out to Upper Peru and also a starting point of the 1901 Venezuelan Civil War, also called the Liberating Revolution. Founded on 8 December 1767, Güiria is the state's third-largest urban centre, with a population of approximately 40,000. It is an important harbour, the only one in Venezuela located on the open Atlantic Ocean rather than on the Caribbean Sea, and the economic centre of Paria Peninsula, due to it being near the Gulf of Paria's natural gas fields, where several state and private companies have exploration projects.

Climate
Güiria experiences a tropical savanna climate (Köppen: Aw), characterized by consistently hot temperatures and distinct wet and dry seasons. Güiria has a wet season from May to November, while the dry season between January and April receives limited precipitation. {{Weather box | width = auto | collapsed = yes | metric first = yes | single line = yes | location = Güiria (1991–2020) | Jan record high C = 38.3 | Feb record high C = 35.3 | Mar record high C = 35.6 | Apr record high C = 38.1 | May record high C = 34.9 | Jun record high C = 37.8 | Jul record high C = 38.3 | Aug record high C = 36.0 | Sep record high C = 39.2 | Oct record high C = 39.7 | Nov record high C = 38.4 | Dec record high C = 35.9 | year record high C = 39.7 | Jan high C = 30.3 | Feb high C = 30.6 | Mar high C = 31.3 | Apr high C = 32.1 | May high C = 32.1 | Jun high C = 31.4 | Jul high C = 31.3 | Aug high C = 31.7 | Sep high C = 31.9 | Oct high C = 31.7 | Nov high C = 31.2 | Dec high C = 30.6 | year high C = 31.4 | Jan mean C = 25.6 | Feb mean C = 25.8 | Mar mean C = 26.7 | Apr mean C = 27.8 | May mean C = 28.0 | Jun mean C = 27.2 | Jul mean C = 26.9 | Aug mean C = 27.2 | Sep mean C = 27.5 | Oct mean C = 27.3 | Nov mean C = 26.8 | Dec mean C = 25.9 | year mean C = 26.9 | Jan low C = 21.5 | Feb low C = 21.6 | Mar low C = 22.6 | Apr low C = 24.1 | May low C = 24.7 | Jun low C = 24.4 | Jul low C = 24.1 | Aug low C = 24.5 | Sep low C = 24.6 | Oct low C = 24.4 | Nov low C = 23.9 | Dec low C = 22.6 | year low C = 23.6 | Jan record low C = 14.8 | Feb record low C = 15.2 | Mar record low C = 9.3 | Apr record low C = 19.4 | May record low C = 19.0 | Jun record low C = 20.7 | Jul record low C = 19.8 | Aug record low C = 19.9 | Sep record low C = 19.0 | Oct record low C = 19.1 | Nov record low C = 18.7 | Dec record low C = 17.7 | year record low C = 9.3 | precipitation colour = green | Jan precipitation mm = 37.7 | Feb precipitation mm = 18.8 | Mar precipitation mm = 21.7 | Apr precipitation mm = 25.2 | May precipitation mm = 62.3 | Jun precipitation mm = 139.0 | Jul precipitation mm = 147.8 | Aug precipitation mm = 177.4 | Sep precipitation mm = 119.1 | Oct precipitation mm = 127.4 | Nov precipitation mm = 121.3 | Dec precipitation mm = 74.1 | year precipitation mm = 1071.8 | unit precipitation days = 1.0 mm | Jan precipitation days = 6.8 | Feb precipitation days = 4.1 | Mar precipitation days = 2.9 | Apr precipitation days = 2.8 | May precipitation days = 6.8 | Jun precipitation days = 13.0 | Jul precipitation days = 14.1 | Aug precipitation days = 14.6 | Sep precipitation days = 10.7 | Oct precipitation days = 11.3 | Nov precipitation days = 12.3 | Dec precipitation days = 9.6 | year precipitation days = 109.0 | source 1 = NOAA == Economy ==
Economy
The natural gas industry has been developed in Güiria by means of the Gran Mariscal de Ayacucho Industrial Complex (CIGMA), developed by Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA). The project's main goal is to promote the economic and industrial growth of Sucre state and to supply natural gas also to the states of Nueva Esparta, Monagas and Anzoátegui. It is planned to be connected in later stages to the nationwide gas distribution system to supply the rest of the country and for export. Additionally, Güiria produces coconuts, cocoa, tobacco, tubers and fish. Cattle is also raised. == Transportation ==
Transportation
• International Fishing Port of Güiria • Cristóbal Colón Airport Because Güiria is close to the island of Trinidad, there is significant maritime commerce with Trinidad and Tobago. The Creole Petroleum Corporation operated a terminal for the loading of deep draft oil tankers from 1935 until 1948. == Popular culture ==
Popular culture
Cricket is popular in Güiria. Steelpan music from Trinidad and Tobago can be heard in Güiria's carnival, as a cultural influence from the nearby islands. Güiria has some typical dishes not found in usual Venezuelan cuisine, such as kalalu(callaloo), sauz (souse), pelau and domplina. On 11 March 2012, Güiria was the landing point of the Atlantic Ocean crossing by Turkish American adventurer Erden Eruç in his Guinness world record setting solo human-powered circumnavigation of the earth, after rowing from Lüderitz, Namibia in about five months. == References ==
