LIKE VERY MUCH!

Thanks for sharing.

Columbians got a sweet place and know how to live.

(Except the tanks at Metallica - idiocy.)

Cartagena. Pirate and related stuff.
Replica "Galeón Bucanero":

There are loads of model ships in the Naval Museum. And models of the various attacks, including this, of Francis Drake's last and successful one in 1586:

A bit of the wall built afterwards, with cannons:

On the assumption that someone here might share my love of Mudéjar architecture and particularly leafy patios, here are a few more:

Convent of San Pedro Claver:
Image

Palace of the Inquisition:
Image

Next 2 beautifully restored houses, now very expensive hotels. If you ask politely they'll let you in to have a look around. The Pestagua, which is very cool and elegant:
Image

And Casa del Marqués, which has been more faithfully restored:
Image

And the smaller, much more reasonable hotel we stayed at, Casa de Catalina la India:

In fact it rained several times when we were in Taganga. Long overdue. Everyone was hugely relieved at the end of a long drought. The hillsides should be bright green by now.
