We arrived at Barranquilla, but past times the mo twenty-four hours nosotros moved on to Cartagena, a gorgeous tourist as well as cultural district.
Cartagena, or equally it was known inwards the colonial era: Cartagena de Indias, is a major port located on the northern coast of Colombia.
Its strategic place turned it into the primary port for merchandise betwixt Espana as well as its overseas empire during the colonial era, exporting goods to Espana as well as importing African slaves. The metropolis was a mutual target of pirate attacks during those times, but I'll speak to a greater extent than virtually that on my side past times side post.
