Latest Cartagena hotel reviews
A modern well designed Audotourium that will add to the cultural development of the area.
Opened in 2011 it has already hosted many concerts.
I have heard the acoustics are excellent from people who have been.
If you area visiting check if there is anything of any interest to you.

Pick your time to visit as it is popular with schools. You either like kids or hate them but I must admit the Spanish kids are well behaved and listen to their teachers :) A very interesting couple of hours which is good value. Check the local press as some times there are free days. I have heard the food is good value too but have never eaten there.

Helpfulness
Not recommended in the heat of the day but a leisurely walk form the port to the lighthouse is quite enjoyable. I'd drive if I had the choice and usually do. You get a great view of the city and the surrounding area. it's a great area for fishing too. Not many watering holes on the way but a couple of nice restaurants. It's not a scenic walk as it's past the container port but you get an insight into the area.

Recently opened tourist attraction tastefully done. It takes you through the history of the area and gives you a good insight as to how people lived and how the area developed. It's fortunate it was finished before the current economic slump. Obviously it can be very hot in summer so go prepared. There is a reasonably priced cafe at the entrance / street which you can sit watching the world go by. Also you must go in the Cathedral Bar at the exit for a well deserved cool beer and view the ruins through the glass floor.

I hate to be ignorant.
Look at me, in Cartagena, facing a monument to Cavite heroes...
Cavite heroes... what is that?
Cavite was a very important port in Manila bay, that in 1647 was attacked by the Dutch fleet. The Spanish sunk the Dutch, and kept control of Phillipinnes.
Ah Ah!
It's nice, this simple monument to Cavite heroes. "Cavite heroes", don't you know? Let me explain...

Cartagena was on of the most important naval bases in Spain, and its military relevance is easy to understand today. Built in the 18Th century, the Arsenal occupies a large area, with a remarkable door.

Cartagena was never in my plans. However, I spent a week in La Manga del Mar Menor and, being so close, I couldn't skip it.
Well, it was a good surprise, and now I don't know how to mention it: Is it Cartagena a nice visit to those who stay in La Manga de Mar Menor beaches, or is La Manga a great beach for those who visit Cartagena?

In Portugal we use to say that "one image speaks more than 1000 words". Having that in mind, and more than 1000 pictures to post, I decided to change my behaviour, posting the pictures as soon as they are ready, and adding the comments later.
Don't get mad on me - I'm glad to share my pictures with you, and the comments will be added soon.

Cartagena. It's quirky. I like. When massive cruise ships disgorge their hordes of passengers into a port, a place can become swamped and overcrowded (see Villefranche page). But Cartagena was spared...
