Cartagena is a fantastic heroic city that guards the secrets of history in its walls, balconies, buildings and narrow cobbled streets. The city is full of romance, and there is the setting for many a tale of times past in every street and square, and along the walls that bound it, waiting for the sunset to evoke struggle pasts.
Sober, ancient monasteries, churches, battlements and the remains of bloody battles are a testimony to the invincible men and women who brought freedom to the “heroic city”. From the walls there is a beautiful view of the sea. Then, euphoria grows and the tireless fiesta dances on until the first rays of the sun sweep away the mysteries of the night.
