Fishers on the beach pulling in the catch
A passing rainstorm floods the streets for a short time. Traffic adapts and continues without a pause.
Lunch at the restaurant “Carmen” Crab starts with an amuse Bouche of croquettes with tropical fruit
Sharing an appetizer of pulled pork and pickled cucumber on crispy thin corn biscuit
Main course Lamb Collar and chops on puréed potato with reduction gravy and pickled cucumber coated with sesame. Delicious!
Lunch for two with two glasses of wine, bottle of water, shared app, two mains and tip about $ 86.00 USD
After lunch stroll for Gelato and Gelateria Tramonti (not pictured) a few blocks away, Fodors recommended and definitely worth the walk
A private courtyard with an old Banyan Tree creates a quiet green oasis away from the bustle of the street
A walk along the city walls puts everything in perspective
Boca Grande in the distance where our hotel, The Hotel Dan Cartagena, is located.
Next morning, clouds announce the onset of some thunderstorms rolling in across the ocean.
