Get to know the Cartagena neighborhood that inspired Gabriel García Márquez: San Diego. Get to know the streets that tell the story of the characters in “Love in the Time of Cholera” and “Love and Other Demons.”
Cartagena will never be the same after you take this Free Tour. Be part of an exceptional and magical experience thanks to the stories that bring the streets to life, follow in the footsteps of our Nobel Prize winner for Literature, “Gabo”, between squares and ramparts, between houses and balconies. If you have not yet read any of Gabo’s novels, or you are a regular reader of his literary works, this tour will enliven your senses and alter your reality.
From Plaza de Santo Domingo to Gabriel García Márquez's house in San Diego Cartagena , experience the art, music and literature of the bohemian neighborhood where our writer lived absurd, magical and imaginary realities that influenced his life and later the lives of his characters that give full meaning to the magical realism that we love and enamor so much.
