9 Hours in Cartagena

We are in Cartagena from 7:00h to 16:00h on a Thursday in mid-April (on a cruise). What places should we consider visiting? Also where is a good place for a leisurely lunch and people watching?

We spent a few hours in Cartagena in January 2018, and enjoyed visiting the Roman theatre, which is amazingly well preserved and presented, having been buried for centuries under later civilisations. We also visited a Roman Villa, which is now undeground.

Maybe send Nick, living in Cartagena, a private message. He posts a lot on the forum and has good ideas. He recently posted on the thread about Toledo train stations, so you can find him from it.

Thanks to all, your responses were just what I was hoping to receive.

Nick, what dish(es) is/are the region known for and what wine should we order with lunch? While we’re not big drinkers I always like to taste a region’s spirits; what should I ask for?

Thanks agsin to all.
