Executive Renta Car invites you to come to Cartagena This Holiday Season.
Cartagena de Indias is the ideal place to spend charming and fun-filled Christmas and New Year’s celebrations. On the days leading up to Christmas Eve, the trees, building façades and city streets throughout Cartagena are decked with colorful lights. Parque de la Marina is one of the places that’s spruced up with LED lights, offering a vibrant display for visitors.
Nights in Cartagena are always fun, but they’re a cut above during December and ought to be experienced at least once in a lifetime. For starters, Arsenal Street is lined with clubs, bars, cafés and restaurants brimming with great music and drinks. You can also tour the city aboard a chiva, artisan buses fitted with live bands and open bars. Just like elsewhere in the Caribbean, congas thunder in Colombia. Salsa music awaits in the colonial bars and in places like Donde Fidel, Habana, Bazurto Social Club and the quirky cinema-bar Quiebracanto.
Another symbol of Christmastime in Cartagena is the pastel navideño, a rice-dough tamale spiced with a blend of pork fatback, rib meat, turkey or chicken meat, tomatoes, sweet peppers, garlic, onions and salt: a veritable culinary melting pot that merges all of Cartagena’s cultures. You can try this unique dish in local restaurants, but a pastel navideño festival takes place during the days leading up to Christmas Eve, bringing together the area’s best chefs.
The traditional San Silvestre dinner takes place on December 31st in open-air settings or inside restaurants and hotels. Plaza Santo Domingo, the heart of Cartagena’s nightlife and a great place to enjoy a cup of tinto (coffee), is also a favorite hangout spot for locals and tourists alike.
Festive ambiences also prevail in Santander and Miramar avenues, Plaza de San Diego and many other venues inside and outside the colonial city center, all interrupted at midnight by the colorful uproar of fireworks, followed by embraces and all-night partying.
