I’ll start by sharing that it took me half the week to finally start calling this Caribbean city Carta-henna, instead of mispronouncing it as Carta-henYa. A UNESCO World Heritage site, Cartagena’s old town is a tourist-friendly spread of colonial Spanish buildings washed in bright colors. Cafes and shops line the streets, shadowed by balconies and enveloped in sprawling, flowering plants. The city is a fascinating blend – somewhere between South American and Caribbean – and the feel and flavor nowhere more wonderful than in the local cuisine.
