Cartagena, Spain

Alas, travel these days seems like a distant memory due to Covid-19 and for me living in Vancouver, British Columbia even more so because of the smog alerts and unhealthy air quality of our city from the raging forest fires in The United States. One can only hope that situations improve for everyone. I do remember ; however, the clear blue skies of Spain and this is where I share my journey with you…

If you are like me and appreciate architectural wonders that highlight remnants of old cultures, then Cartagena is the place for you. This colonial walled city is easy to get to from Torrevieja Bus Station traveling by ALSA (Movelia) coach line. A one -way trip costs (9CAD/7USD). The journey is an hour and a half taking you through Miguel de Salinas (salt lakes full of flamingos), La Magdalena and finally to your magical destination.
