Cartagena - La ciudad colonia

This is city that is more than just beautiful, this city is fantastic. With a huge amount of exotic colonial buildings, Cartagena is a glorious city to see. Originally the trade port capital of the Spanish Main, huge amounts of wealth passed in and out of the city in its heyday. Because of this, you will find stunning buildings unlike any other colonial construction in the world. The city itself is listed as a UNESCO heritage site and the main parts to see are the walled colonial city “ciudad amurallada”, which also has loads of restaurants and cafes, and the main beachfront or “Bocagrande”. The walled city also has some fantastic old forts which usually charge a moderate price for admission, but are well worth it. The Bocagrande holds all the main hotels and condos stretched across the coast of the beach. The best beach in the region is the Playa Blanca. You can drop by this beach as part of a trip to the Islas del Rosario as well as lunch and a visit to the aquarium. The city holds a huge selection of food both traditional and modern so you stomach will enjoy the trip as much as you do.
