Be sure to visit Cartagena, one of the world’s oldest cities, during your stay at Palatinum Golf, Spa, and Sport Resort in Murcia, Spain. Cartagena can be found in the central area of Costa Calida and is just beginning to boom in the tourism industry. While visiting Cartagena be sure to visit its very busy harbor, and although it’s not the most conventional tourist attraction, you will definitely be amused by the vast amount of nets on the wharf, the many different vessels of fishermen, and the amounts of fish caught fresh from the sea, which are later served in the city’s hundreds of restaurants and houses.
One of the best times to visit the City of Cartagena is during a festival. If you visit during Holy Week you will see the streets of Cartagena come alive as the whole town transforms to carnival mode. Another festival to watch for is Cartagineses Y Romanos. During this festival, the local people reenact the historical battles between the Carthaginians and Romans by dressing in costumes and building a whole camp that resembles the Old Cartagena.
While in Cartagena also be sure to stroll through the remarkable parks and plazas, learn the history of the area in the local museums, and enjoy the area’s culinary specialties in one of the many restaurants or cafés.
