-->What You Think About Cartagena?<--

I think Cartagena is the best city in Colombia. It is romantic and also a historic place. It is almost all surrounded by beachs and nice persons. The persons here in Cartagena are great dancers, very loud persons, but also very pleasant.
This splendid city where in the year 2000 you may smell the pirates rises as a Gods Monument to the year 1600. Its narrow streets make you think that you are in the time tune.
UNESCO has recently declared it “world’s heritage”. It was founded in 1533. It used to be the main commercial port during the colonial times and subject to attacks from pirates. Because of this, the walls were built. It’s an unforgettable experience to go walking through the small streets or to take a ride on a carriage to discover places such as: the Puerta del Reloj, the Plaza de los Coches, the Cathedral, the Inquisition Palace and the Popa Monastery.
The fortifications of San Felipe de Barajas as well as the castle-fort of San Fernando and the battery of San José in Bocachica are full of tunnels and are masterpieces of Spanish engineering.
Tourist can enjoy the delicious local cuisine, good hotels, restaurants and fresh tropical fruits sold by the "Palenqueras" on the beaches. An excursion not to be missed is the one to Islas del Rosario, 1 1/2 hours from the city. I think Cartagena is most a historic, and touristic place...
