How to change a div top margin without leaving a white space?

I'm having troubles with the top margin of the "Lorem ipsum". I tried changing the margins of both div's but I couldn't figure out how to increase the upper margin of the text without creating a white space.

JSfiddle

Here is the HTML:

<div id="nav">
        <ul>
            <a href="#">Inicio</a>
            <a href="otras/servicios.html">Servicios</a>
            <a href="otras/contacto.html">Contacto</a>
        </ul>
    </div>



    <div id="container">
        <div id="contenido">
            <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.</p>
      </div>
      </div>

And here the CSS:

    body {

    margin: 0;
    font: 'Roboto';

}

#nav {

    height: 50px;
    width: 900px;
    background-color: #B18904;
    margin: 0 auto;

}

#nav ul {
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
}

#nav a {

    display: block;
    float: left;
    color: #fff;
    text-decoration: none;
    padding: 0 20px;
    line-height: 50px;
    border-right: 1px solid #fff;

}

#nav a:hover {
    background-color: #c79905;
}

#container {

    width: 900px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    background-color: #F5F5DC;

}

#contenido p {

    text-align: justify;
    margin: 0 50px;
  background-color: #F5F5DC;
  }

Thanks!

You're looking for padding, not margin try adding to #contenido p

padding-top:10px;

For more information look into CSS Box Model: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Box_Model/Introduction_to_the_CSS_box_model

You wan to use padding instead of margin.

#contenido p {
    padding-top: 20px; /* Use padding*/
    text-align: justify;
    margin: 0 50px;
    background-color: #F5F5DC;
}
