Cartagena guides

It's no surprise Cartegena became a port. This semi-circular bay on Spain's Murcian coast is strategically perfect - an easily-defendable harbour that attracted seafarers, merchants and travelers for millennia. Today visitors are drawn to the well-preserved Roman ruins, vibrant Iberian culture, and tempting tapas. Let a local guide show you their city on a Cartagena private tour. History is reflected in architecture, so follow your guide on a walking tour to spot Baroque, neo-Classical and Art Nouveau buildings. Get a bird's-eye view of the city's unique geography at , a castle built on top of a Moorish fortress. As night falls, find a local eatery along Calle Mayor to sample micherones - ham, sausage and beans in a clay pot. Those with time should head further afield with their guide to explore the incredible scenery. Visit La Manga, an ecologically-rich sandy spit, followed by Portman Bay, returning to Cartagena via an old Roman road.
