I am remaking this thread, since the original thread of this state got screwed up when in some of my posts with school pictures, the pictures are now gone.
The state of Anzoátegui is an eastern Venezuelan state, which most of its interior belongs to the Venezuelan llanos (central plains of the country) but also has coasts in the Caribbean sea, where cities like Barcelona (state capital) and Puerto La Cruz (both cities are actually so close to each other that form a same conurbation) are located.
The state limits to the north with the Caribbean sea, to the northeast with Sucre state, to the east with Monagas, to the south with Bolivar (Orinoco river marking the limit) and to the west with Guarico and Miranda.
The state took its name after the independence leader Jose Antonio Anzoategui, who was born in Barcelona (Anzoategui's state capital).

Map of the state municipalities, so those of you who want to know the exact location of pics and videos could look them up in this map:
The state is mostly plain, though it has some minor elevations (a weak prolongation of the Serrania del interior, coming from the west) in the very north close to the coasts, and a little bit of the eastern massif (macizo oriental) in the very north east of the state, bordering the state of Sucre (strong orange in the relief map). The light yellow colored area extending up to the middle of the state in the relief map (below) is the mesa of Guanipa, which is like a low altitude "meseta" with an average altitude of 272 meters above sea level.
