Description
Walk along the colorful streets that inspired the legendary author Gabriel García Márquez on this one-of-a-kind tour. Experience a side of Cartagena you’ve never seen before on this guided tour. Visit homes where Gabo lived, specific locations referenced in his writing, and even his ashes. Start your tour in the square with the monument to Cervantes Saavedra. Learn about different legends of the Colombian Caribbean, in addition, be introduced to anecdotes from one of the most influential writers of the 20th century, “Gabo,” as Gabriel García Márquez is affectionately known. Continue to Palito de Caucho, where you can try a Cartagena delicacy. Hear local legends and the biography of the most important journalist and author in Colombia. The moment Gabo decides to be a writer is discussed and about the book 'La Hojarasca' or “Leaf Storm.” Meet the inspiration location for popular books like 'Love in the Time of Cholera' and the 'General in his Labyrinth,' in Plaza Fernández de Madrid. Uncover importance of the Hotel Santa Clara in Gabo's works. Pass by the Museum of the 'Colegio de la Presentación' and Calle del Estanco del Aguardiente where the anecdotes of Gabo's life are brought to life. Venture to Teatro Adolfo Mejía, to visit a place that is clearly referenced in Gabo's work. See a historic location that also houses great works by Enrique Grau (Gabo's friend) and Luis Vincens. There are few times in which this spot and its activities are mentioned in 'Love in the Time of Cholera' and 'Diatribe of Love Against a Seated Man.' Visit the place where part of Gabo's ashes lie and a tribute is made to his life in Claustro La Merced. Pass by the University of Cartagena and Calle del Tablon, where the cotemporary poet Luis Carlos López, better known as 'El tuerto López,' had a house. Stroll along Calle del Arzobispado, the right street to invoke the facts that twist the destiny of Sierva María of 'De todos Los Angeles' and at the same time birth love in “Del Amor y Otros Demonios.” Finally, reach Calle Don Sancho where the 'El Mesón de Don Sancho' is located, the restaurant that appears in Gabo's works 'Love in the Time of Cholera.'Includes
