Popular flea market held Sundays in the town square of a residential neighborhood with lots of colonial charm.

My husband and I spent several hours meandering through the market. You'll find many vendors with a wide array of unique items, street entertainers, and plenty of places to grab a bite to eat. Vendors were friendly without being pushy. Some places took credit cards, but it's a good idea to have pesos, as well.

Everyone who wants to catch a glimpse of the REAL Cartagena should take a tour on Bazurto! The matket is a most vibrant and absolutely fascinating place of local culture. Go with @eldannystark („Mercado, la veradera Cartagena“ on AirBnB): Danny will show you its hidden treasures, take you to his favorite places and catch your attention with his very personal storytelling. I recommend this tour 100% - music, art, culture and fantastic good, what else could you wish for!
