Cartagena is a beautiful,old city contained within wide, protective stone walls.It was well/defended against those plunderers of the seas, the English Pirates. It is a journey of discovery wandering down one narrow street after another.There are grand buildings, cathedral, churches, convents, and of course, Bolivar Square with its staue of the Liberator.. The buildings have wooden balconies which contain splashes of colour. Eventually the heat and the humidity drive you indoors. In the early evening it is pleasant to venture out and enjoy the breeze as you walk on top of the city walls.
