I can not wait another minute to tell you about my fantastic vacation. I arrived in Cartagena on the 12th of April, the same day that I was able to take a week off. Before leaving, I stayed a single room in a hotel, as my close friends with whom we were supposed to travel, at the last moment they repented to come. This was about to dissuade me from going on a trip because you know that without them I do not feel like going to paradise, but I told myself that there is no harm in not coming, and that is why I did not change my plans and I went alone.
Thank God, I got the opportunity to meet three foreigners who became friends very soon. It was the first time they had come to Cartagena and every two by three they told me that they regretted not having visited it before and did not imagine how beautiful it could be. So that you do not think that they were exaggerating, I include some photos for you to judge yourself and also I put a link in which you can familiarize yourself with Colombia through the eyes of a compatriot of yours.
In Cartagena there are some very fascinating beaches, Cartagena is located on the shores of the Caribbean sea and is the most visited destination in Colombia, has almost a million inhabitants, on Thursday I visited the walled city, it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO In the year 1984, I could see that there are many monuments.
During the time of colonial domination of the Americas, Cartagena de Indias was one of the fundamental ports of the Spanish crown. Sieged on different occasions by pirates and fleets of other powers of the time, the city also played a prominent role in the struggle for independence and the creation of the Colombian state.
The population of Cartagena is predominantly black or mestizo and local folklore, as it could not be otherwise, is dominated by the 'champeta', a typically Cartagena mestizo rhythm that combines African and European roots.
