28th of September: Cartagena tour
–
10am: meet your personal local host at the port of Cartagena to start your discovery journey of this very compact city that you will be able to fully explore on foot and with short taxi rides.

You will start your tour by visiting the archaeological wonders of the city. These are its Carthaginian city walls, Roman Theater and Roman Forum. This will allow to learn about the foundation of the city in the 1st century BC and about its flourishing Carthaginian, Roman and Byzantine periods. During this part of the tour you will also learn how archaeological finds of the size of a Roman Theater have remained unknown until very recently and how their discovery can contribute to the regeneration of rather forgotten quarters of Spanish cities until making them important parts of the urban landscape.

Your tour will continue with an exploration of Cartagena’s 18th century military architecture and late 19th century modernist palaces, which concentrate on a beautiful pedestrian part of town, delightful to walk around or to enjoy from a café to take in the local atmosphere.

12:30pm: after this historical introduction to the city, you will enjoy a taste of local life through its food and wine spots. The first one will be the local food market. This is where people from Cartagena buy fresh produce: fish, olives, Spanish ham and many other local delicacies. While you explore the market, you may want to enjoy some tastings in selected stalls in order to enjoy some interaction with the local community, assisted by your host.

Then you will be taken for lunch to a local restaurant to try a wide variety of local dishes, wines, and something very important for cartageneros: the local asiático: a coffee with liquor 43, cinnamon, condensed milk and some other secret ingredients.

2:30pm: after your tour be escorted by taxi back to the port.

2:45pm: arrival to the port and end of services for the day.
