Description

Cartagena de Indias is not only walls and sea; it is the mythical territory where Gabriel García Márquez planted the roots of his literary universe. Discover the city that inspired the Nobel Prize winner in this journey between reality and fiction:
Plaza de la Trinidad: Getsemaní, the old suburb, the neighborhood that first welcomed him, vibrant scene of his great novels.
Lomba and Espíritu Santo Streets: Walk through what the young Gabo walked, where he worked and partied, while enjoying colorful graphic tributes.
Calle de la Media Luna: Old entrance to the city, where the dying Bolívar from El general en su laberinto and the disturbed father of Sierva María from Del amor y otros demonios pass through.
Camellón de los Mártires: Learn about Gabo's intimate relationship with its marble benches, a refuge on difficult nights.
Clock Tower: The iconic portal that hides a unique corner, ideal for passionate book collectors. Plaza Fernández Madrid: The famous Park of the Gospels from one of his great novels.
Gabo's House and Cloister of La Merced: contemplate his home facing the Caribbean Sea, the scene of an unforgettable anecdote. Visit the mausoleum where his remains rest today.

Carlos gran guia

Carlos nos espero, nos cayo un poquito de lluvia y el siguio. El tour era de Garcia Marquez pero el nos llevo mas alla, nos tuvo paciencia y respondia a nuestras preguntas. Ambientazo con el, 20/10% Regresaremos definitivamente con el.
