Getsemaní

Cartagena, better known for it's walled city, Bocagrande Beach and the surrounding islands, left aside for many years the attractive and warm ambiance of Gethsemane  Only a few years ago, this area woke up to the world. I myself find it fascinating, with its tens of restaurants, hotels, hostels  coffee bars, and anything else you could want.

Actually, I like it so much that in the following entrances of this blog I'll focus on this place. Is located only five minutes walking from the walled city (in a map you can find it right next to it) and is composed of lots of small streets, each one with a particular name. Dont be afraid if you get there right from the airport or the bus station and you still don't have  a place where to spend the night. There are SO MANY options!

If you're lost, ask for the Media Luna street. In it, you'll find most of the commerce, inns and food places. A bit of a tip: Is not dangerous, but neither the safest place on earth. Don't be surprised if you find a few prostitutes, or someone offers you "strong smokes", or "relaxing trips". I just thought you should know. 

And, before i cut this entrance, don't forget, by any chance, to visit the Trinidad Plaza (plaza de la trinidad) in the nigh time. You'll find an interesting and completely different place as what it was in the daytime. Can you see the picture next to this text? Compare it to what you will see at night.
