Episode 43: Cartagena City Tour

This week on Spainfully Honest, we’re joined again by Paul from Chersun, who lives in Cartagena city. We put together a Cartagena City tour, covering everything from great cafés and restaurants to places to visit, including museums, shopping areas with lots of insider information from someone who has worked and lived in the area for years!We’ve structured the episode so it starts and finishes at the port, which works well if you’re visiting on a cruise or just planning a day in the city.You’ll find links to all the places we mention in the show notes to make it easier to follow along or plan your own visit:Main stops from the episodeLicor 43 Factory Experience (Experiencia 43) Licor 43 official site & experience bookingThis is the official site where people can book the experience and get a feel for what’s included.

Universal Restaurant (Cartagena) Restaurante Universal official websiteQuick fact check (keeping ourselves in line 😅)Just a couple of small corrections from this week’s episode:– We mentioned that the first submarine was invented and built in Cartagena. What we meant to say is that it was the first military submarine, designed by Isaac Peral and launched in the city.– We also said the Phoenician ships found in Mazarrón (now in the ARQUA Museum) were the oldest ships ever discovered. To be more accurate, they’re the oldest shipwrecks found in the Mediterranean.Nothing too dramatic, but we like to keep things as accurate as possible!Email Paul and Catherine at [email protected] Follow us on social media pleeaasse!⁠(3) Instagram⁠⁠(15) Facebook⁠And as always thank you for listening!!
