The Port of Cartagena
Cartagena can be found in the central area of Costa Calida and is just beginning to boom in the tourism industry.

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.
