Cartagena sits on the Costa Calida within Murcia. Despite the scruffy views as you enter the city, you will find within,
a wealth of history and beautiful architecture. If you explore the port area you will find a mixture of old and new. The
large naval base occupies a large area and throughout the city, the importance of the port is evident with numerous
buildings belonging to the navy, as well as a good naval museum. You must see the Naval Headquarters, Artillery
Headquarters, Dockyard Gate and the Midshipman School.
Cartagena has always been a major port, due to its unique position on the Mediterranean coast
and you will see high on
the hilltops, several forts and castles. The Peral Submarine for example, built in Cadiz in 1884, was the very first.
The Cartagena born designer saw it launched in 1888.
Much of Cartagena's Roman history has long gone, however there are sites, such as that under the current bullring that
have been excavated. The bullring was erected in 1854, over the Roman amphitheatre.
Over recent years many of the important buildings in the city have been restored and to this day the work continues.
There are numerous churches, palaces and government buildings. You will also find several good museums worth visiting.
There are plenty of parks and squares to rest in, surrounded by good restaurants and bars and you will almost certainly
find life here very peaceful and easy going.
The helpful tourist office is situated close to the bus station at the end of Calle San Diego. Most of the sights can be
found in one central area, all within easy walking distance. The seashore offers a wide range of activities from sailing
to windsurfing and good diving. The local countryside is perfect for hiking, horse riding and cycling. From Cartagena
you can easily explore the ancient city of Murcia, the coastal resorts of Mazarra, Cala Cortina and Cabo de Palos or a
little further north, the world famous resort of Mar Menor.
Making the right investment is key and if you pick the right investment,
you could be in for a handsome return.
