Plaza de San Diego
The Refuge of Nobles & Rebellious Nuns We begin in this lively square, once home to Cartagena’s wealthy merchants. Nearby stands the Santa Clara Hotel, once a convent full of forbidden love stories and eerie legends. Some say a nun was buried alive within these walls, inspiring García Márquez’s novel Of Love and Other Demons.
Plaza Fernandez Madrid
Shadows of Independence This peaceful square hides scars of Colombia’s fight for freedom. José Fernández de Madrid, a poet and independence leader, dreamed of a liberated Cartagena. But betrayal lurked in the shadows, and not all heroes received the glory they deserved.

Michael was great. Even though it was a solo tour he did not cancel. Spent more than the full time with me and introduced me to different street food.
