Cartagena, Colombia - Wandering Through the Old Town Guide 🌴✨

Strolling through Cartagena's old town gave me a vibe that perfectly blends Havana, Cuba and New Orleans, USA. Here are my top recommendations: 🍽️ Must-Try Restaurants & Spots: La Mulata 🍤 My top pick! Delicious and affordable - you could eat here every meal Must-try: Ceviche (raw fish marinated in citrus) and fried fish Pro tip: Many travelers treat this place like their canteen - hard to go wrong with any order Candé Cocina 🦀 Highly recommended by many (their seafood paella is famous) Personal note: As someone who grew up by the sea, the paella was good but not mind-blowing BUT their crab legs (see pic 5) with garlic aioli sauce were incredible - we literally licked the plate clean! Ábaco Libros y Café 📚☕ Gabriel García Márquez's favorite café - worth visiting for literary vibes Filled with Márquez's works, though the coffee itself isn't extraordinary More about paying homage to the Nobel laureate Alquímico � (World's Top 50 Bars) Three floors, each with different cocktail menus Ground floor focuses on sustainability with ingredients from local growers Tried three drinks: Albahaca (basil) was great, but the Limón and Mango cocktails were just okay (maybe because they changed bartenders) Claudia Akel Boutique 👜 Italian-recommended designer brand that once had a Milan store Now only physical store is in Cartagena (studio in Boca Grande) Great service - I bought a bag and customized a strap Café Havana 💃 Located in Getsemaní district (opens at 8pm) Fantastic salsa dancing spot with amazing atmosphere The decor is incredibly unique - like stepping into old Havana #AroundTheWorld #Cartagena #OldTown #OffTheBeatenPath
