Puerto La Cruz is a city in Venezuela's Northeast, in the state of Anzoátegui. In some ways, it's kind of like the beachside resort area for Barcelona nearby, although it is tainted a bit by the fact that it's also the home of the Puerto La Cruz refinery, one of the largest in the country, along with a fossil fuel processing plant.
