This area yields some of the country's best produce, earning it the nickname 'the orchard of Europe.' As you stroll, you'll interact with the vendors, hear their stories and be treated to samples of local specialties and delicacies.
What you will see along the way:
Cartagena, one of the oldest cities in Spain, dates back to 223 BC. Its history is reflected in its eclectic mix of architecture.

Spanish colonial buildings and an intriguing blend of church domes, clock towers and ocean views entice visitors who stroll its colorful streets, squares and waterfront.
