Port of Spain, Capital city in Trinidad and Tobago.

Port of Spain stretches along the Gulf of Paria on Trinidad's northwest coast, with residential areas extending into the northern hills.

Spanish settlers established the city in 1560 near an Amerindian settlement called Cumucurapo, replacing San José de Oruña as the capital in 1757.

The Queen's Park Savannah hosts the annual Caribbean Carnival festival in February, featuring calypso music performances and steelpan competitions.

The city serves as a major financial center with two large Caribbean banks and accommodates 250,000 daily commuters through its transportation network.

The Angostura bitters factory produces its secret-recipe aromatic concentrate exclusively in Port of Spain since 1875.

Pout of Spain is worth visiting not for its beauty but for its atmosphere. Try to attend a rehearsal of the steel bands. Our favorite team is the All Stars. Don’t forget to enjoy excellent chocolates at Cocobel.
