	Cartagena, Colombia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cartagena, Colombia, also known as Cartagena de Indias or La Heroica (The Heroic), is a large seaport on the north coast of Colombia.
		During the 16th and 17th centuries, Cartagena was part of the Spanish Main, one of the chief ports of the Spanish treasure fleet and so a prime target for English and French pirate and privateers (such as Sir Francis Drake, who sacked the city in 1586).
		Cartagena is the capital of the department of Bolivar, with a population of 812,595 (1997 estimate).

		Known as the Republic of Cartagena, it was one of the bases used by SimOn BolIvar to launch his campaign to liberate Venezuela.

	CARTAGENA - Murcia - Comunidad Murciana
		En Cartagena, encortarse es no hacer algo a lo que se estaba decidido, por timidez o por vergüenza, y comer a tajo parejo -expresión con resonancias laborales- es comer mucho y sin pausa, pero -eso sí- ordenadamente, comenzando por una orilla del plato y avanzando en línea.
		En Cartagena, se prefiere llamar alcacil a la alcachofa, encerrizao al tercamente obstinado y arregostao al que se aficiona a algo; al igual que se prefiere decir asaúra o tener melsa en vez de hablar de lentitud o flema.
		Cartagena fue la principal ciudad de los cartagineses en España, y de ella partió Aníbal en su célebre expedición a Italia, que le llevaría a cruzar los Alpes, al comenzar la Segunda Guerra Púnica en el año 218 adC.

	History of Cartagena
		Drake and Hawkins were amongst the first pirates to prey on the new settlement of Cartagena de Indias in the late 1500's.
		It was their activities and those of their French counterparts, Robert Baal and Martin Cote, that forced the Spanish Crown to undertake the construction of the intricate complex of fortresses, walls, and castles that were to make the city unassailable for almost one hundred years.
		And still the defenses, although weakened, were sufficient to resist the Siege of Cartagena undertaken by the English Admiral Edward Vernon in 1741.

		A Cartagena hay que recorrerla despacio, varias veces, a pie y en un viejo coche tirado por caballos, a la luz del día y en la noche, cuando los faroles iluminan las plazas y obligan a la imaginación a remontarse a otras épocas y a dejar de lado los afanes de la vida moderna.
		Y en particular Cartagena, con su animación característica y el hechizo especial de sus noches iluminadas por la luz de los faroles, resulta un lugar ideal para el relajamiento y la diversión.
		De otra parte, Cartagena cuenta con un moderno Centro de Convenciones con excelentes dotaciones y capacidad para acomodar hasta 3.000 asistentes, que constantemente sirve de sede para la celebración de reuniones internacionales, congresos y seminarios del más alto nivel.

	Shed a Tear for Cartagena (1 of 2) - Columbia - BootsnAll.com
		Cartagena is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, far removed both physically and psychologically from the jungle and cocaine labs, but it has paid a steep price just for being part of a country that is now too dangerous for tourist travel.
		The expense was justified militarily in 1741, when British Admiral Vernon ("Old Grog" himself), leading an enormous fleet and invasion force, was unable to capture the city after a siege lasting over half a year.
		(This earned Cartagena the title of "The Heroic City".) Nothing could ever justify the human cost of building the defences, though: they were built by African slaves, who were simply worked to death, then dumped unceremoniously into the harbour.
