san felipe








this castle is amazing. not only provides for an spectacular sight but it has the most wonderful tunnels all over and within the walls. we walked in all of them and explored through the underground maze with zero visibility, except for the weakest little ray from the cheapest cell phone in the market which is of course the one we own (absolutely positively no i-anything for us). it was hard to imagine the people back in the 1600s actually using these bunkers to escape, kill the enemy and store their food, probably in the same area where their bodies would dispose of it. the smells must have been awful. they are very long and not tall at all. we loved the adventure, definetly a highlight of cartagena.
