 Working on a cigar by Bernd_L Right in the old quarter of Cartagena there are several shops for cigars. But there are big differences. Don’t buy from the guys who sell this stuff on the streets. Our taxi-driver showed us this shop that has its own small factory where you can see how your cigars are produced. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: Unfortunately I don’t recall the name and the exact address. Being a non-smoker it’s not much of a problem for me. And if you are looking for good cigars simply ask the locals. They know the good shops.

In the old walled city is a street called "calle de la moneda" - this is the centre for any economic shopping of leather handbags or shoes - one shop close to the other. They also have a lot of very cheap clothes but not really up-to-date designs ! Underwear is very cheap ! No necessary to ask for price reduction because they are so cheap and always offer the correct price - no tourist price rising !!! Of course the quality may not be the same than in your country, but the designs and the prices are top ! Who cares about throwing away some shoes after 1 year of using if they cost 10-15 USD ??? And leather handbags for 15-25 USD !

On the avenida San Martin in Bocagrande you will find 200m before getting to the Hotel Caribe little commercial centers called "San Andresito" - everyone around will indicate you where to locate them .. they are very popular ! They are black-importing their stuff from Panama or San Andres (therfore the name) without taxes and therefore they are so cheap - there is nothing ilegal buying there ..
Every type of brand sweets and alcohol and cheap electronics or accessoires like watches and sunglasses as well as local souvenir can be bought there for nearly 20-30% off !!!

by panderita Along the city you may find many place to go grocery shopping or buy the essential stuff you need ( toothpaste ....). Carulla is the best chain of supermarkets and its not expensive. Dont go buyin fruuit on the street unless youknow how to... you never know where they've been.
Groceries, hygene products and etc...

The city is full of annoying peddlers. It is understandable that people try to make a living, but their attitude that you are a walking ATM can get annoying.
You can buy "Louis Vitton" watches for under US$50 here, and Montblanc even cheaper :-0. If you feel like you need to buy a t-shirt though, you can find them a lot cheaper in the stores in Boca Grande.

The ’stone’ in question here is, of course, the emerald, which Cartagena is famous for. 98 percent of the world's emeralds are mined in Colombia. There were many jewellery stores around the centre that sold emeralds. There was even one store called ‘Romance In The Stone’. A pun to the fun and funny treasure-hunting movie starring Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. Clever. Leave a Comment Theme: Jewelry

A small shop near Hotel Caribe, a bit pricey, but still cheaper than the US (or so the american girls say), you'll find some great stuff there! I bought some things for the beach over there and, although it was quite expensive, I never regretted it!
Try a nice selection of shorts for the beach, specifically crafted for surfing. Great stuff!
A lot more than you would expect from Cartagena :) The prices in Cartagena are generally higher than in the rest of Colombia and this store is one of the examples of that. Leave a Comment Theme: Sporting Goods
