Cartagena, a captivating city in the Murcia region, lies just 50 kilometers south of the city of Murcia—a mere half-hour drive away. We opted for the train, which was not only convenient but also offered a delightful journey through the Spanish countryside, taking roughly an hour. Cartagena is steeped in history, its ancient roots woven into the very fabric of the city.

A leisurely stroll down the main street leads you straight to the bustling cruise ship dock, where countless vessels moor from April to November each year. Despite its modest size, Cartagena exudes charm and offers the perfect setting for a pleasant wander through its vibrant streets.
