Cartagena, Colombia 12km Walking Guide
The port city of Cartagena, Colombia was once the center of colonial Spanish rule. The historic walled city is still full of quaint squares, cobblestone streets and colorful colonial buildings. Get your walking shoes on and your smiles ready for some amazing photo opportunities. Bring along your bathing suit to take advantage of the nearby Caribbean white-sand beaches.
Cartagena Walking Map:
Top Attractions in Cartagena:
The Beaches
North and south of the historic center of Cartagena are lined with beaches. They are conveniently located for a quick dip in the wavy waters. However, be aware of the signage as half the beach areas are closed for swimming for safety reasons.
Casa Rafael Núñez
Rafael Núñez was most notably an author and politician, serving as president of Colombia. Under his leadership the Constitution for Colombia of 1886 was created. He also wrote the lyrics of the Colombian national anthem. The house now serves as a museum to his legacy.
Las Bovedas
Las Bovedas were originally built as dungeons, deep into the city walls. They are now a staple visit for all tourists looking for every type of souvenir while going from cell to cell.
Plaza de San Diego
A few blocks onward is the quaint little Plaza de San Diego. Here you can witness the wealth the city once had with its flowering balconies and endless cobblestone streets. It is the perfect place to sit back and enjoy a bite to eat or a drink later in the evening.
Teatro Heredia
Teatro Heredia was built to commemorate the Centennial of Independence in 1911. This beautifully ornate gold and red decorated theatre is well worth the tour. The entrance is actually located around the back at a smaller backstage door.
Plaza Santo Domingo
In the middle of the Plaza Santo Domingo there is an original Fernando Botero statue, often the centerpiece for many. However do not forget about the Iglesia de Santo Domingo, built in 1539. The small plaza is often bustling with tourists so try and get there early if you want some photos with only a few people.
Museo del Oro Zenú
The small Zenú gold museum is a great way to learn some of the precolonial history of the region and all about the traditions of the native Zenú. Get out of the hot sun and explore this interesting museum with its free entrance.
Palacio de la Inquisición
The Palace of Inquisition is one of the finer examples of Spanish colonial architecture in Cartagena. The building was used as the center of trials during the Spanish Inquisition. It now houses the History Museum of Cartagena. The written information is all in Spanish, meaning you must get a paid English tour guide to really understand the history.
Portal de los Dulces
Portal de los Dulces is exactly what it sounds like, the best place to buy some local sweets and confectionaries.
Monumento Torre Del Reloj
Just across the street is the Monumento Torre Del Reloj. This clock tower, built into the old city walls was once the main entrance into Cartagena. It now connects the busy port with the historic center.
Muelle de Los Pegasos
Along the old port you can see many tourist and historic boats. Walking along the waterfront and you are also greeted by Muelle de Los Pegasos, two large Pegasus statues.
Plaza de San Pedro Claver
The Plaza de San Pedro Claver is a smaller, less crowded square, with a church by the same name. Within the plaza there are also several sculptures made from scrap by Edgardo Carmona.
Naval Del Caribe
The Caribbean Naval Museum opened on the 500th anniversary of Columbus’ discovery of the New World. It focus on the naval history and battles fought in Cartagena and around the Caribbean. The museum does, however, have a few number of actual artifacts, so this stop is more for history or naval aficionados. Otherwise, just enjoy the grand colonial building from the outside.
City Walls
At this point, across the street from the naval museum you can walk up onto the old city walls. The walls date back to the 1600’s when Cartagena was the largest port this side of the world, moving all of Spain’s spoils.
Get lost in the streets of Old Cartagena
One of the best things to do in Cartagena is get lost in the old city. The walled city is only a 15 minute walk across, but it is filled with bright and colorful colonial houses lining every road. Take an afternoon and enjoy some amazing photo opps.
Playa De Bocagrande
Just south of the historic city center is Bocagrande, home to many of the bigger hotels and resorts. Unless you are staying in this area, the main reason to visit is its beach! The beach can be quite busy, but you cannot compare the convenience of have a beach right at your doorstep.
Getsemani
East of Bocagrande is the up and coming neighborhood of Getsemani. This authentic neighborhood gives you a better glimpse into the eyes of a local in Cartagena. Wander around and enjoy its street art and local cuisine.
Fuerte Pastelillo
Across the water from Getsemani is the Fuerte Pastelillo. It was built as one of the town’s first defense points. We suggest you photograph it from across the water as there is little to see on the inside.
Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas
The massive fortress of San Felipe de Barajas once protected the city of Cartagena from any attacks by land or sea. It is most well known for its complex tunnel system running throughout. You can now walk through the fort, or take a guided tour for several dollars more.
Los Zapatos Viejos
One of the most iconic images from Cartagena is Los Zapatos Viejos statue. This surprisingly small statue is located at the base of the Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas. Make sure to climb into the standing shoe to get a great picture with the fortress as the background!

A Local's Guide to the Best Things to Do in Old Town, Cartagena, Colombia
El Centro, or The Walled City, or Downtown or Old Town…there are many names for the beautiful historic city center that is the main attraction for visitors to Cartagena, Colombia. Its thick wall fortification and colorful colonial buildings date back centuries with layers of history waiting to be revealed. The walls have warded off untold pirate attacks, the churches have been beacons of hope for thousands including the African slaves once sold in its main plaza, but the Church was also a poor example of Christianity during the times of the inquisitions. I’ve been told that if you know the history of Cartagena, then you know the history of Colombia. And I believe that to be true.
I have written this post to share those maybe less known places that we’ve found to be some of the best spots to visit in El Centro. So, this is a local’s guide of favorite places in El Centro. And as we continue to discover these tucked away places, I will update this post accordingly.

No Two Streets Share the Same Name
First, it is very difficult to explain where places are located in El Centro because a street has a different name on each block is (e.g., Calle 38 is also Estanco del Aguardiente, Calle de la Merced, Calle del Sargento Mayor, or three other names depending on which block you are standing on). I’ve heard that there are over 100 street names in El Centro…and those names are not used by Google Maps. Instead, Google Maps reverts to numbers (e.g., Calle 35, Carrera 3). Carreras run north and south through the city and Calles run east and west. However, taxi drivers are more likely to know the full street name, not the number of the street. So, trying to tell a taxi driver where to go using Google Maps directions is essentially useless. It’s best to just say the name of the place you’re visiting or a large nearby landmark.
Walk on the Wall and Peek Through Doorways
The unique feature of this area is the thick stone wall that surrounds the entire city. So, this may go without saying, but be sure to walk along at least a portion of the wall when you visit. The northwestern wall is a popular place to watch the sunset. There are some restaurants along that side, but you can also simply claim a portion of the wall to sit and wait for the sun to dip below the horizon.
This is one city where being a bit nosy is welcome and even encouraged at times. The beauty of the buildings in this city are not always obvious from their outward appearance…but take a peek into their inner courtyards and you will often be astonished by what you find. Some dilapidated fronts give way to amazing entrance ways and there is always, always, always a courtyard, and often a water feature such as pond or fountain. The buildings are narrow and long, so what may look like a small house from the front, extends the entire block once inside. So, take any opportunity you find to peek inside, whether it be a hotel, restaurant, or even a residence, people here understand the fascination with their homes and often allow a brief look around if you ask politely (always with a “por favor”).
Parks and Plazas
Another famous aspect of this city is its parks and plazas. They form the social centers of the various areas of the city and they are the landmarks by which directions are given. Learn their locations and you have nearly mastered navigating this city.
Plaza de Bolívar
Named for the famous freedom fighter, this square is recognized by the statue of Bolivar sitting upon his horse in the center among many towering trees. This square is a popular meeting place for locals to beat the heat of the city and the Cathedral, Museo Historico de Cartagena, and Museo de Oro adorn its sides (see more details of each below).
Plaza Santo Domingo
This square gets its name from Santo Domingo church that abuts one side of the square. This plaza is often the location of various music celebrations, plus there is a bustling night life with the plaza filled with cafe tables served by the surrounding restaurants and loads of roaming vendors. The square also contains a bronze statue of a naked woman by the famed Colombian artist, Botero. When you see her be sure to notice her various parts that are especially shiny because she’s been rubbed for good luck.
Plaza San Pedro Claver
Named for the church located along its western edge, this is a popular location to congregate, especially at night. And the steps of the church are often used for various cultural events. The most popular photo of the Cathedral lit at night can be taken from this square, looking along the steps of the church, down Calle San Pedro Claver, north towards the Cathedral.
Plaza de Los Coches
Located just inside the entrance to the city that is under the clock tower, this is a popular place to meet to start your tour or adventure inside the city. You will also be greeted by many, many vendors selling various items to make your visit better including sunglasses, hats, or tours. On the far west side of the plaza you will find a line of vendors selling various Colombian sweets, including plenty of coconut, ariquipe, and panela treats.
Plaza de la Aduana
City offices line the southeast side of this plaza, which is also a popular location for various music and entertainment events. This is a good location to find ATMs as there are numerous banks that line this plaza too.
Plaza de Santa Teresa
This plaza is located outside of the hotel for which it is named, the Hotel Charleston Santa Teresa. This area is a good location to find vendors selling the woven Mochila bags that everyone carries around here, and it is a great place to find a taxi given the hotel and the fact it is located near an exit of the city.
Parque Fernández de Madrid
This is a nice place to relax from the heat as it is full of grown trees and plenty of benches. You can sit in the shade and take in the view of the statue of the man who is the basis of the square’s name. The cultural center Alianza Colombo Francesa Cartagena and Santo Toribio de Magrovejo church can be found along its sides (see more details of each below).
Plaza de San Diego
Located back in the neighborhood that bears its name, this a great little park to find local jewelry vendors selling their wares in the late evening. They will even offer you a little stool to sit on if you hover near one of their areas for any length of time so you can be comfortable while you shop. One side of this square is lined by the well known Hotel Sofitel Legend Santa Clara.
Museums
My Spanish teacher, Amaurys, would argue that El Centro, itself, is a huge museum. And he’d be correct. Dating over 450 years since its founding, there are layers upon layers of history built into the foundation and walls of this old city. But, we also have our fair share of actual museums too.
Museo Naval del Caribe (Naval Museum)
Two stories, this museum provides a complete history of Cartagena, from before its founding, when the indigenous people reigned, to nearly modern times. And don’t let the name fool you, while there are some great life-size parts of naval ships to climb around in on the second floor of the museum, the museum isn’t just dedicated to the naval history of the city. Cartagena’s history as a major port with harrowing real-life stories of treasure, pirate attacks, and conquistadors lends itself to be told via a museum with Naval in the name. Located in the Plaza Santa Teresa. Expect to spend 1 hour, $16000 COP per adult (approximately $5 USD). For a docent-led tour, contact my Spanish teacher and licensed tour guide, Amaurys, via WhatsApp at +57 (313) 526-3910.
Iglesia San Pedro Claver (San Pedro Claver Church)
Named for Saint Peter Claver, the patron saint for the hundreds of thousands of slaves that passed through the walls of this city during the two hundred years of the slave trade, you are able to tour the entire property of this church. This includes a two-story building, which once was home to Saint Peter, that surrounds a beautiful, tree-filled courtyard, plus, the inside of the church itself. This is a treat to be able to see inside the church, as this church is not often open and you surely are not regularly allowed to walk all over the altar where you can gaze at the bones of Saint Peter housed in a glass coffin (no joke). Located in Plaza San Pedro Claver. Expect to spend less than an hour, $14000 COP per adult (approximately $4 USD). A docent-led tour is available for an additional fee.
Museo Historico de Cartagena (Historic Museum of Cartagena)
Formerly known as the Museo de Inquisition (Inquisition Museum), this museum historically held examples of the torture devices used during the Spanish Inquisition to coerce the heretics into confession. The museum has more recently been transformed into a more pleasant locale, sharing the history of Cartagena which amounts to a static exhibit on the top floor of the building. Various rooms on the remaining floors often house art exhibitions which are free to enter. Likely of most prominence is the building and grounds themselves, which includes beautiful architecture, a large open courtyard, and massive tree-shaded grounds in the back. Located in Plaza de Bolivar. Expect to spend less than an hour, $21000 COP per adult (approximately $7 USD). I believe that an audio tour is available for a fee.
Museo de Arte Moderno (Museum of Modern Art)
This museum entails a small, two-story collection of various modern pieces including a black and white photo of Colombia’s famous author, Gabriel Garcia Marcus which greets you as you enter the museum. Rotating visiting exhibits can also be found here. Located in Plaza San Pedro Claver. Expect to spend less than an hour, $8000 COP (approximately $2.50 USD). The museum closes during almuerzo (lunch) from noon to 3pm.
Museo de Oro (Gold Museum)
This museum is currently under renovation and thus being housed in a smaller location on Plaza Bolivar. This museum is a fraction of the size of the famous gold museum in Bogota, and I’m told the gold pieces inside are replicas, they are not real gold. However, the intricate pieces that the ancients crafted are remarkable and help to impress upon visitors the abundance of gold that this area was founded upon and for which it was continuously sacked by pirates and others. Located in Plaza de Bolivar. Expect to spend less than an hour, free to enter. Independent tour guides are available.
Cultural Centers
Cartagena actually has a pretty large cultural and art scene. El Centro itself houses a few cultural centers that are worth noting because of their active schedule of events.
CFCE Cartagena - Cooperación Espanola
Supported by the Spanish Embassy, this beautiful two-story cultural center with a stunning open courtyard offers a variety of cultural events such as author talks, dancing, and music and rotating artisan and cultural exhibits, as well as a public library and a coffee shop run by the owners of Abaco Libros y Café. Located in Plaza de Santo Domingo (Carrera 3 #2-74). Expect to spend less than an hour, free to enter. https://www.facebook.com/cfcecartagena/
Alianza Colombo Francesa Cartagena
Dedicated to teaching the French language through numerous offerings of classes to all ages, this French cultural center also has a great cafe with unique coffee offerings and a library filled with French books. They also host cultural events and are most recognized by the striking blue exterior of their building. Located in Parque Fernandez de Madrid. Expect to spend less than an hour, free to enter. http://alianzafrancesa.org.co/cartagena/
La Presentación
This place is an all-encompassing artisan heaven. It contains 5 art gallery spaces with rotating exhibits, a theater, a beautiful internal garden, café, small store of artisan wares, hotel, and university. Located on Calle Estanco del Aguardiente #5-63. Expect to spend less than an hour, free to enter. https://lapresentacion.art
Cathedral and Churches
Like any good Colombian city, Cartagena has its requisite share of churches, and most notably, the Cathedral too.
The Cathedral (officially the Catedral Basílica Metropolitana de Santa Catalina de Alejandría or Metropolitan Cathedral Basilica of Saint Catherine of Alexandria)
Probably the most recognizable and most photographed structure in El Centro is the highly revered Cathedral. Not to be confused with an ordinary church, a cathedral is special in that it is run by a Catholic bishop, not simply a priest. Surviving an attack by the famed Francis Drake and with over 400 years since its completion, it is still beautiful and worth a quick walk through to see the inside. There is even a bronze larger-than-life-sized statue outside of Pope John Paul II, commemorating his visit to Cartagena in the 1980s. Located on Plaza de Bolivar. Expect to spend less than half an hour, free to enter.
Santo Domingo
Apparently the oldest church in Cartagena, Santo Domingo is probably the least adorned church on the inside, but still worth a walk-through. See information above about Plaza Santo Domingo, the plaza out front of the church that bears its name. Located in Santo Domingo Plaza. Expect to spend less than half an hour, free to enter.
San Pedro Claver
See “Iglesia San Pedro Claver (San Pedro Claver Church)” under “Museums” above. This is the same location.
Santo Toribio de Magrovejo
This church is found in the San Diego neighborhood of El Centro. It is small, but bears a feature unique to any other church in Cartagena, it has a baroque-style altar carved in black lacquer and covered in gold foil. Another interesting feature is a cannonball that is preserved in a glass case. The cannonball was launched during an attack by Admiral Vernon on the city (friend to George Washington’s brother and the namesake of Mount Vernon), landed in the church during the middle of mass, and did not harm any persons or the church itself. Thus, it was deemed a sign of divine intervention and preserved. The church is not often open, but when it is, it’s worth a brief walk through. Located in Parque Fernandez de Madrid. Expect to spend less than half an hour, free to enter.
Theater
Teatro Adolfo Mejía
Also called by the locals by its previous name, Teatro Heredia, this is a truly beautiful theater, inside and out. The outside is known by its soft pink-colored brick, and the inside contains intricate wood designs with rich red upholstery. You can take a guided or self-guided tour starting from its less obvious Calle de la Chicheria entrance around the back of the theater. Prices range from $8000 to $11000 COP (approximately $2.50 to $4 USD) depending on if you have a guide, Monday - Friday 9am to 12pm and 2:30 to 5pm. Located on Calle de La Merced #38-10. Be sure to stop by the Universidad de Cartagena Clasto de la Merced extension right next door to the theater. The courtyard has a statue of the bust of Gabriel Garcia Marquez…and half of his ashes are buried there. (The other half are buried in Mexico, the country to which he was exiled.)
Food
Luckily, we are blessed with numerous food and restaurant choices in El Centro. This is one thing that Old Town does well. Note that dinner can be rather late here, so some restaurants do not open until after 6pm.
CHOCOLATE - Evok
The BEST Colombian chocolate that we have uncovered so far (and we have tried a lot) can be found at Evok. It is a chain, but that doesn’t detract from the flavor. Try one of their individual servings of chocolate truffles located in a glass case at their counter. They have two different levels of darkness and creamy centers of amazing flavors. Just $2500 COP per piece (approximately 75 cents USD), they are a steal. Located on Calle Santo Domingo (Carrera 3) #33-46.
PERUVIAN RESTAURANTS - Cuzco and Gran Inka
Surprisingly, one thing Cartagena has a lot of is good Peruvian food. We have tried many of them and two of our favorites are Cuzco and Gran Inka. Cuzco is a chain restaurant, but has a serene, beautiful atmosphere in the Walled City location. Plus, we have found that they have the best food. They serve sushi-type appetizers without the rice, called Bocados, that are amazing according to my husband and friends who went back a second time during their trip and ordered one of each of the 3 dishes. I always get the same dish and have now converted everyone who has visited to this dish too. The dish is called Risotto de Cilantro con Lomo Saltado. It comes in a black cauldron with a lid that they keep warm on your table with a candle. It’s a risotto dish that is nearly green with cilantro and medallions of slightly salty beef, tomatoes, and onion. It is simply delicious. Located on Calle Santo Domingo (Carrera 3) #33-48. Dinner does not start until 7pm. Reservations can be made via text on WhatsApp at +57 302 2137139, and they do speak a little bit of English.
A close second to Cuzco is Gran Inka. The food is delicious and beautifully presented, and the view onto the Plaza de Coches through their floor to ceiling glass windows is a great people-watching location. Located on the first floor of the Hotel Santa Catalina, it can be accessed from the Plaza de Coches entrance or the other entrance on Calle del Candilejo (Carrera 6) #32-62. Reservations can be made via text on WhatsApp at +57 318 4987259, and they can speak a little bit of English.
ITALIAN RESTAURANT - Wippy
As is not uncommon here, this Italian restaurant is also a cevicheria, as ceviche is abundant in Cartagena. But they also make their own homemade pasta, which is delicious. You also have the option to take any of their dishes and change the type of pasta they suggest on the menu. In fact, they provide you with a separate menu of just the pasta types which include such unique options as noodles made with cacoa (chocolate) or beet. The location is small, and we often do not make reservations before going, but rather show up and see if they have space. Located on Calle Santo Domingo (Carrera 3) #33-81 (down the street from Cuzco).
GREAT 2 FOR 1 APPETIZERS - Bourbon Street
Themed after Bourbon Street in New Orleans, this bar/restaurant is known for its 2 for 1 Happy Hour food and drinks, including hamburgers, po’ boys, chicken wings on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. I haven’t been yet, but my husband recommends them and the chicken wings and hamburgers in particular are favorites. Located on Calle 35, down the street east of Plaza Santo Domingo.
DESSERT - Donjuan
If you are desiring to hear some English in a town that mostly speaks Spanish, then head to Donjuan for dinner, and more importantly, dessert. Clearly this restaurant has been highly recommended among the English-speaking visitors because it was packed with Americans when we visited. It is a good place for dinner, but it is a GREAT place for dessert. First, of all they actually have a dessert menu, which is not often found in restaurants here, or there are just one or two items on the menu. Donjuan actually has 8 items and the Tarta de Manzana y Arequipe is amazing. It has light, buttery, layered pastry filled with apple and arequipe, which is essentially caramel. I also had the Cubos de Piña which is pieces of pineapple flambéed in rum with coconut ice cream. Simply delicious. Located on Calle del Colegio (Carrera 6) #34-60. Reservations are available on-line, but they only take them for 7:30pm and after 9:30pm. Otherwise, it’s first come, first serve.
FRESH FRUIT JUICE TO GO - Sierva Maria
This cafe sells actual meals too, but we love their fresh fruit juices. This is a great place to stop while touring the city, cool down in the air conditioning for a bit while they make your juice, and then head off again on your adventure with a juice to go (“para llevar” in Spanish). Located on Calle de las Carretas (Carrera 7) #34-34.
PANADERIA - El Pandequeso
Just around the corner and down a block from Sierva Maria is a panaderia (bakery) that you can find simply by following the smell of fresh baked sweet breads. They have various, fresh baked pastries including pan de queso (a yummy ball of dough with cheesy center and a dusting of salty yuca flour on the outside), sweet rolls with sugar sprinkled on top, chocolate rolls…and the list goes on. The prices are so cheap that you can splurge and try one of everything. Located on Calle 34, just a few blocks from the Clock Tower.
BREAKFAST - Cafe de la Mañana
Here’s a little off the beaten path favorite…Cafe de la Mañana. Located across the street from La Presentación (see above), this is an adorable little cafe with yummy food and great service. The owner is German and is recognizable from his history of leading street food tours with Cartagena Connections (a local tour company who is also a favorite of ours). Located on Calle Estanco del Aguardiente #5-80. Their hours hover around 8am to 2pm and they are closed on Tuesday.
GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH - El Barón
Ok, so normally one wouldn’t think of “grilled cheese sandwich” as a food category, but El Barón’s grilled cheese sandwich is good enough to deserve their own category. El Barón is actually a fabulous cocktail bar, well-known for their mixed drinks. They have limited seating inside and plenty of umbrella-covered cafe tables in Plaza San Pedro Claver outside. And, be sure to read their “rules” for eating at their establishment, which can be found in the front cover of the menu. You’ll chuckle. Located on Plaza San Pedro Claver (Carrera 4 #31-7). Sunday and Monday they do not open until 5pm, and the rest of the week they open at noon.
PIE - Mila Postres
Is Pie it’s own category? Yes, yes it is. Especially in Colombia where they do not quite understand the concept of pie as a dessert. Their “pies” are often filled with meat. So, to find a restaurant that serves good ol’fashioned sweet pies is a treat. Our friend who is a key lime pie aficionado, loves their version. Oh, and they have a long glass display case filled with various other confections too. Located on Calle de la Iglesia #35-76.
HAMBURGERS - La Tumbamuertos Burger Bar
Surprisingly, there are a lot of places that serve burgers in Cartagena, but this is our favorite. The place is cute, with seating inside and out, and it’s family-owned. The bread they use for their buns is delicious. And I actually like their veggie burger. Check out their Instagram page too and you might just see yours truly… Located on Calle 39 #8-34, right on Plaza de San Diego.
ARGENTINEAN - Quebracho Parilla Argentina
Good food, great smells, great atmosphere, and great staff. They actually have a full pig rotating over the fire too. And you’ll enjoy seeing their towering candles with their layers upon layers of melted wax dripping down the sides. Oh, and stay for the live music too. Located on Calle Baloco (Calle 33) #2-69.
SMOOTHIES - La Divinidad
I am beyond excited that La Divinidad now has a location in El Centro. Owned by a sweet couple, their first location is in the Bocagrande neighborhood and is a regular haunt for us locals. But now we can enjoy their delicious smoothies, juices, and smoothie bowls while tooling around Old Town too. Their shop is always clean, the ingredients are fresh, and the water they use is trustworthy (which cannot always be said for juice , smoothie or ice cream establishments in El Centro). My favorite is the Pinkberry Smoothie bowl. Each bowl is topped with either strawberries or kiwi, granola, and two toppings of your choosing. My favorites are chocolate chips and chia seeds. Located on Calle Gastelbondo (Calle 36).
COFFEE
I don’t drink coffee, so I’m hesitant to recommend any places. But, El Centro is full of great cafes. You pretty much can’t go wrong with the local places like Epoca (two locations in El Centro), Abaco Libros Y Café (a bookstore and cafe), or Se Volvió Prispi (has delicious chocolate coffee). Plus, there are plenty of the chain Juan Valdez in El Centro too (which are great places to use their bathrooms. Maybe just buy a little something first.)
Shopping
El Centro is replete with vendors hawking their wears along various parts of the wall or in the squares. Plus, there are plenty of stores and most are open from about 10am to 9pm.
MOCHILA BAGS - Arte Wayuu
Located along the southeast portion of the wall near the Plaza de Santa Teresa there is a vendor selling numerous Mochila bags, the woven bags that are popular around here. His name is Martin Quintero and his business is Arte Wayuu. I have found him to have the best designs at the most reasonable prices.
WOVEN BRACELETS AND OTHER HANDMADE JEWELRY
As mentioned above, the vendors that fill the Plaza de San Diego after dark are a great place to find woven and leather bracelets.
HIGH-END SHOPPING - La Serrezuela
A new shopping mall just opened in El Centro and it is beautiful! Built in the location of the historic bull ring, the mall houses high-end stores and many restaurants. Plus, the main attraction is the bull ring itself located in the center of the mall. It is three stories of beautifully decorative wood, with an open roof and a fountain in the center of the floor that sprays water to light and music (think very, very small scale Bellagio hotel-type fountain). Currently there are not many stores open in the mall, but likely be the end of 2019, it should be full. Located on the corner of Calle de la Serrezuela and Carrera 11.
LOCAL WARES - Casa Abba
The small entranceway of this store opens up to a large inner room filled with several vendors, each with their own designated area to sell their products. So, in this one store you can find hand-painted shoes and purses, handmade jewelry, paintings, bathing suits…the list goes on, all in a brightly lit and beautifully decorated space. One of the vendors that is close to my heart is República Alegría. The artisan sells handmade stuffed animals, with articulated limbs, fully hand-sown outfits, and a complete backstory of each animal’s life in the fantasy land of República Alegría. Located on Calle 35 near Plaza Santo Domingo.
INTERNATIONAL WARES - Casa Chiqui
This store is a treasure trove of cool stuff. Gathered from all over the world, including a heavy presence from India, they have jewelry, beautiful wooden furniture, handmade purses, heaps of beaded pillow shams, dinner ware, statues, vases, and various other home decor that you didn’t know you needed. A printed sign on the front window of the shop states “Your husband called, he said to buy anything you want!” So true. Located on Calle de la Universidad (Carrera 6) #36-127, just north of the University of Cartagena campus, and on the same side of the street. Oh, and if the door is locked, just be patient, they will come open it for you when they see you standing outside.
COLOMBIAN HANDCRAFTS - El Centro Artesano
You can feel great about buying anything from this store because they are dedicated to protecting the traditions of Colombian hand crafts. This is a good location to find woven goods, handmade pottery, carved wooden bowls and utensils, etc. The items can sometimes be priced higher than other versions found in other stores or from vendors on the street, but this store works directly with the artists to provide training and support in all stages of their production process. Plus, this space has some surprising additions if you’re nosy enough to walk through the store and out the back…it has a coffee shop, a second room containing more wares for sale, and a back room that often is showcasing background information on one of the hand crafts. Located on Calle de la Universidad (Carrera 6) #36-121, next door to Casa Chiqui.
CERAMIC PINEAPPLES AND WOVEN BRACELETS - Territorio
Did I get your attention? Ceramic pineapples, you say? Yep. A trip through El Centro will expose you to numerous stores selling various tropical fruit sculptures. My favorite is the ceramic pineapples found at Territorio. This is a high-end Colombian artisan store, often with the prices to prove it. But you can’t go wrong with the uniqueness of their goods and their quality. There are actually three Territorios in El Centro. Ceramic pineapples can be found at the store on Calle de Ayos (Calle 35) #4-29. Beautifully delicate handwoven bracelets, some with beads, some without, can be found at their location on Calle de la Mantilla (Calle 36) #3-77. There are a lot of stores and vendors selling handwoven bracelets, but I’ve consistently found beautifully made ones at this location.
LEATHER GOODS - Vélez
Vélez is a major chain store and can be found in just about every shopping mall, but that doesn’t detract from the quality of its goods. They have beautiful shoes, for both men and women, satchels, travel bags, briefcases, and wallets, as examples. Located on the corner of Calle de la Iglesia and Calle 35, you can’t miss their blue painted building.
CREATIVE WARES - La Tienda del Museo
I love the gift shops of Modern Art museums, they usually have such unique items for sale. Well, the store next to the Museo de Arte Moderno doesn’t disappoint. But, what I really love is that their prices are surprisingly reasonable. So, if you’re on the hunt for a unique Colombian-made trinket that likely can’t be found anywhere else in El Centro, check out La Tienda del Museo. Located next door to the Museo de Arte Moderno in Plaza San Pedro Claver.
ANTIQUE STORE - El Arcon
I am willing to share with you information about a store that is a real treasure in El Centro, and not very well known to visitors…El Arcon. The smell of an antique store, which I’m sure you know exactly what I mean, greets you first from the street. The door to the store will probably be closed, and maybe gated, but be sure to knock and be patient for them to open it. This store is filled with some fun and unique items that are great reminders of the Old City including loads of door knockers like the ones you’ll see adorning just about every wooden door. Unfortunately, the antique door knockers are long lost, but the molds remain and are used to cast the ones found at this store. They have them both large and small, including mermaids, fish, octopi, lion heads, and lizards. They also sell antique cannon balls, like the ones once used in the cannons adorning the wall. They may not be great for keeping your suitcase weighing less than 50 pounds, but well worth the cool factor. Located on Calle del Camposanto #9-46 in the San Diego neighborhood in El Centro.
UNIQUE WARES - 408 Colectivo Artesanal
This store has a great variety of well-made, unique stuff. They sell jewelry, wooden watches, woven shawls, and printed leather wallets, among other items. El Centro has plenty of knick knack, touristy stores filled with the same things, over and over again, and I just appreciate this store for its quality and distinctiveness. Located on Calle 35, just down the street from Vélez and Territorio.
PURSES MADE FROM VENEZUELAN MONEY - David and Keber
If you are looking for a unique gift when visiting El Centro, look no further. Two brothers, David and Keber, make beautiful purses and wallets by weaving Venezuelan paper money. These brothers have found a source of income to support themselves and their family back in Venezuela using the now defunct bills, and it is beautifully done too. They travel around to various locations along the wall but can usually be found among the line of vendors stationed outside the Cathefral or at any of the artisan fairs that pop up now and again in the Old City. Follow them on Instagram.
COLOMBIAN ART WITH A SOCIAL CAUSE - Duran Design Studios
In a bright white shop in an inconspicuous area of El Centro you can find Duran Design Studio filled with beautifully pieces. They have purses, wall art, woven home decor, etc. And all of the pieces are handmade and the store supports many artisan families. Located on Calle Cochera del Gobernador #33-10.
Bathrooms
A very important piece of information to know is where the bathrooms are located. Most restaurants have some version of a bathroom, if you are a patron of the restaurant. But, if you need one while walking through the streets there are public bathrooms in the front of the city in the wall by the Clock Tower (cost is $1200 COP) or in the rear of the city in the Plaza de Las Bovedas (cost is $1200 COP). Plus, you can often sneak into one of the many Juan Valdez coffee shops to use their bathrooms too. One other very important tip…when using the public bathrooms, be sure to grab your toilet paper BEFORE you go into the stall. Yeah, that’s a thing here.
Parking
Taxis are plenty to and from El Centro, but if you do decide to drive, there is a gated, well lit, and safe parking lot located at the Parque La Marina. The cost is approximately $8000 COP per hour (about $2.50 USD per hour).
Did We Miss Anything?
So, that’s our current list. If you have any additional favorites in El Centro, please be sure to leave a comment. We love to find new treasures.

Cartagena tiene más de 350 guardianes cívicos del turismo y del patrimonio
En el auditorio del Museo Naval del Caribe se llevó a cabo la ceremonia de graduación de 64 jóvenes de las comunidades de Manzanillo del Mar (40 personas) y Bicentenario (24), quienes durante seis meses recibieron formación en turismo, patrimonio y cultura de la ciudad de Cartagena.
La iniciativa liderada por la Policía Metropolitana de Cartagena, a través del Grupo de Turismo y Patrimonio, en conjunto con la Fundación Serena del Mar, tiene por objetivo promover buenas prácticas de respeto, conservación y preservación de los patrimonios histórico y cultural de la ciudad. Estos valores son multiplicados en los entornos familiares, comunitarios y estudiantiles de cada uno de los jóvenes vinculados al programa, y a futuro, crearán una cultura de corresponsabilidad entre turistas, nativos y residentes.
Con esta séptima promoción de jóvenes graduados Cartagena suma más de 350 guardianes del turismo y del patrimonio, quienes desde el año 2012 apoyan a la Policía Nacional en la protección de nuestras riquezas culturales.
Como parte del acompañamiento y la formación impartida, los jóvenes participaron en dos jornadas pedagógicas, la primera, al fuerte de Castillo San Felipe de Barajas y la segunda, al Palacio de la Inquisición, el Museo del Oro, la Plaza San Pedro Claver y la Plaza Bolívar.
“Nos sentimos orgullosos por la semilla que estamos cultivando en estos niños, niñas y adolescentes, quienes hoy, al finalizar su formación académica, llevan mensajes de conservación al seno de sus familias, comunidades y entornos escolares, generando un interés y sentido colectivo de conocimiento y protección de nuestro patrimonio”, sostuvo el General Luis Alfonso Poveda Zapata, Comandante de la Policía Metropolitana Cartagena de indias.
Por su parte, Isabel Matheiu, Directora Social de la Fundación Serena del Mar aseguró que la organización celebra su vinculación a esta causa que responde a uno de sus principales ejes de intervención: el Desarrollo Social integral de las comunidades. “Este es el tipo de actividades turísticas y culturales en las que queremos y debemos ver a nuestros jóvenes. Actividades respetuosas de sus derechos y promotoras del buen nombre de Cartagena en el país y en el exterior” añadió.
Durante el programa se han destinado más de 180 horas de capacitación y la meta en 2019 es formar 120 nuevos guardianes cívico juveniles. Los actuales pertenecen a los barrios: Daniel Lemaitre, San Francisco, 7 de Agosto, Santa María, 20 de Julio, Santa Rita, San Fernando, San José de los Campanos y Bicentenario, y al corregimiento de Manzanillo del Mar.

CAPITULO 03 – REVOLUCIÓN FRANCESA – FICHAS (031-047)
EL AÑO 1789 – EL ENTORNO Y LA CRONOLOGÍA –
031 – (1789 – 4 de marzo) En Nueva York, el Congreso de la Confederación, en su décima reunión, declara la Constitución de los Estados Unidos. Los Estados Unidos reunidos en Congreso fue el órgano de gobierno de los Estados Unidos desde el 1 de marzo de 1781 hasta 4 de marzo de 1789. Lo formaron delegados que habían sido nombrados por las legislaturas estatales. Fue el sucesor del Segundo Congreso Continental. El Congreso de los Estados Unidos sucedió al Congreso de la Confederación.
032 – (1789 – 22 de marzo) En Austria se proclama la República Helvética. La República Helvética fue una «república hermana» (estado satélite) de la Primera República Francesa que persistió cinco años, desde 1798 hasta 1803, en la antigua Confederación Suiza (parte de la actual Confederación Helvética).
033 – (1789 – 25 de marzo) En España, el rey Carlos IV nombra a Goya «pintor de cámaras». Francisco de Goya y Lucientes - (Fuendetodos, provincia de Zaragoza, 30 de marzo de 1746-Burdeos, Francia, 16 de abril de 1828) - fue un pintor y grabador español. Su obra abarca la pintura de caballete y mural, el grabado y el dibujo. En todas estas facetas desarrolló un estilo que inaugura el Romanticismo. El arte goyesco supone, asimismo, el comienzo de la pintura contemporánea y es precursor de las vanguardias pictóricas del siglo XX; por todo ello, se le considera uno de los artistas españoles más relevantes y uno de los grandes maestros de la historia del arte.
034 – (1789 – 28 de abril) en el Pacífico Sur sucede el motín del Bounty. El barco fue construido inicialmente como buque mercante bajo el nombre de Bethia, aunque más tarde, tras su adquisición por la Royal Navy, fue sometido a importantes reformas para realizar una expedición al mar del Sur transportando una carga de árboles del pan desde Tahití, en la Polinesia, hasta el Caribe, que pudiera servir para alimentar a los esclavos de las plantaciones de Jamaica y de otras colonias británicas de las Antillas que sufrían por entonces de periódicas hambrunas.
La utilidad de la planta ya había sido advertida en 1769, por el capitán James Cook que comprobó que además de ser bastante común en aquellas islas servía de alimento a los polinesios. Cuando estas noticias se difundieron tras la muerte del famoso navegante y explorador, algunos plantadores antillanos plantearon al Presidente de la Royal Society, el naturalista sir Joseph Banks, la posibilidad de transportarla al Caribe para comprobar si era posible su plantación extensiva. El propio Banks fue quien, una vez aceptada esa iniciativa, que sería patrocinada por la armada real, intercedió ante los responsables del Almirantazgo para que fuese designado para dirigir la expedición el teniente William Bligh, de 33 años de edad, con el que había compartido uno de los viajes de exploración de James Cook por el Pacífico unos años antes. Protagonizaron uno de los motines más famosos de la historia.
035 – (1789 – 30 de abril) En Estados Unidos, George Washington inicia su mandato como primer presidente de los Estados Unidos. El Tratado de París (1783) puso fin a la Guerra de Independencia y reconoció la constitución de las Trece Colonias como los Estados Unidos de América, pero con una estructura gubernamental inestable. El Segundo Congreso Continental había redactado los Artículos de la Confederación en 1777, describiendo una Confederación permanente, pero concediendo al Congreso de la Confederación (la única institución federal) poco poder para financiarse o para asegurar el cumplimiento de sus resoluciones. En parte, esto reflejaba la visión antimonárquica del período revolucionario y el nuevo sistema estadounidense fue explícitamente diseñado para prevenir el ascenso de un tirano estadounidense en sustitución del monarca británico.
036 – (1789 – 5 de mayo) En Versalles (Francia) se reúnen los Estados Generales. En la Francia del Antiguo Régimen eran asambleas convocadas por el Rey de manera excepcional y a la que acudían representantes de cada estamento: el clero (Primer estado), la nobleza (Segundo estado) y los representantes de las ciudades que disponían de consistorio (Tercer estado).
Fueron creados en 1302 por Felipe IV de Francia, el Hermoso, luego que el papa Bonifacio VIII convocó al rey Felipe IV y al clero francés a un sínodo a celebrar en Roma, el 1 de noviembre de 1302, para definir de manera definitiva la relación entre el poder temporal y la Iglesia; y también para juzgar al rey, bajo la acusación de abusos inauditos contra la iglesia, por lo que el rey Felipe IV respondió inmediatamente.
037 – (1789 – 10 de mayo) En Brasil es detenido el patriota brasileño Tiradentes (José da Silva Xavier). Entró a la historia con el sonoro nombre de Tiradentes - que su traducción del portugués denota: sacamuelas - fue un odontólogo, militar, minero, comerciante y activista político brasileño, considerado como héroe nacional de su país por haber asumido en exclusividad la responsabilidad de la Conspiración Minera -primer intento serio de independizar a Brasil del Reino de Portugal, a fines del siglo XVIII.
038 – (1789 – 31 de mayo) En España se emite una real cédula "concediendo libertad para el comercio de negros"
039 – (1789 – 20 de junio) Fue escrita la declaración de los derechos del hombre.
040 – (1789 – 11 de julio) Las malas acciones de Luis XVI dan origen a la Revolución francesa.
041 – (1789 – 14 de julio) En París, Toma de la Bastilla por parte de los revolucionarios franceses.
042 – (1789 – 30 de julio) Parte de Cádiz la expedición científica de Malaspina. El Viaje científico y político alrededor del mundo, más conocido como Expedición Malaspina, en honor científico y capitán de navío Alejandro Malaspina, fue una expedición financiada por la Corona española en la época ilustrada de Carlos III.
La expedición se prolongó a lo largo del periodo entre 1789-1794. Recorrió las costas de toda América desde Buenos Aires a Alaska, las Filipinas y Marianas, Vavao, Nueva Zelanda y Australia.
El 21 de septiembre de 1794 la expedición regresó a España habiendo generado un ingente patrimonio de conocimiento sobre Historia natural, cartografía, etnografía, astronomía, hidrografía, medicina - todas ellas ramas de conocimiento de gran importancia geopolítica -, así como sobre los aspectos políticos, económicos y sociales de estos territorios.
La mayor parte de los fondos se conservan en el Museo Naval de Madrid, el Real Observatorio de la Armada, el Real Jardín Botánico y el Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales. En la actualidad siguen siendo objeto de estudio por parte de historiadores y biólogos.
043 – (1789 – 26 de agosto) En Francia, la Asamblea Constituyente aprueba la Declaración de los Derechos del Hombre y del Ciudadano.
044 – (1789 – 5 de octubre) En París los ciudadanos marchan hasta Versalles para protestar ante el rey por falta de alimentos.
045 – (1789 – 6 de noviembre) El papa Pío VI nombra al sacerdote John Carroll como primer obispo de la Iglesia católica en Estados Unidos.
046 – (1789) El científico Lavoisier escribe su célebre Tratado elemental de Química.
047 – (1789) En el estado de Andhra Pradesh (India), una marejada ciclónica golpea la localidad de Coringa y mata a 20 000 personas. El 16 de noviembre de 1839 volverá a suceder lo mismo, con el mismo número de víctimas. Revista Historia Universal – [email protected]

¿Cuáles son los lugares en Cuba que EEUU ha prohibido a sus ciudadanos?
Gran Hotel Manzana Kempinski (foto archivo)
MIAMI, Estados Unidos.- El gobierno de los EE. UU. anunció el miércoles que haría cumplir una promesa hecha por el presidente Donald Trump en junio de tomar medidas enérgicas contra los viajes comerciales y personales a Cuba.
El Tesoro de los EE. UU. publicó una lista de más de 100 empresas, incluidos hoteles, restaurantes y dos destilerías de ron, que los viajeros estadounidenses ya no pueden visitar. 84 hoteles en toda la isla están incluidos en la lista, así como varias agencias de turismo.
Además de la lista, las nuevas reglas incluyen exigir a los viajeros en el intercambio cultural “de persona a persona” que viajen con grupos turísticos oficiales.
“La forma más fácil de explicar la política es: no ser un recluso, evitar establecimientos militares, apoyar empresas privadas e involucrar a cubanos locales”, dijo Giancarlo Sopo, presidente de la Fundación CubaOne, a Travel + Leisure en un comunicado. “Esto puede ser tan simple como almorzar en un paladar, visitar un estudio de arte o comprar en una tienda pequeña y chatear con los cuentapropistas que los dirigen”.
