Cartagena, Colombia | A Caribbean City Walk

This coastal city—humid, scorching, and bursting with color—inspired García Márquez’s Love in the Time of Cholera. By day, it’s a sizzling palette 🎨; by night, a chill tropical dream. Staying near the Old Town, I wandered without an agenda—just popped into: 1️⃣ Ábaco Libros y Café 📚 Márquez’s old haunt (a tiny corner bookstore with big literary energy) 2️⃣ Café del Mar 🌅 Sunset spot on the Caribbean shore (prepare for crowds!) 3️⃣ Juan Valdez ☕ Colombia’s "Starbucks" (locals whispered: "Try San Alberto instead!") Skipped the castles/churches—the Old Town’s streets are the attraction. Every pastel wall and flower-draped balcony stopped me in my tracks. #Cartagena #ColombiaTravel #SlowTravel
