Adicora
Adicora is a long-established kite town on the Paraguaná Peninsula in Falcón state, known in Venezuela as a windy, low-key alternative to Margarita Island. A cluster of kite/windsurf schools and guesthouses lines Playa Sur, with side-onshore trade winds that blow reliably from December through June. The bay mixes chop with a flatter strip behind an offshore reef, suiting a wide range of levels.
