Recently we decided to have a few hours in Cartagena as the Queen Victoria Cruise ship was in port ( 26th August ). Decided to try the sceanic route through Mazarron, Pt Mazarron, and then followed all the signs to Cartagena and you cant go wrong . This road leads you into the city by the Port area and with the sea on your right as you drive down a nice tree lined street we reached the Port .
You will see a HUGE Spanish flag on your RIGHT and then in 100 meter a signs pointing to P " Down Ramp " to underground car park. So we headed into the car park and found a space easy even in August and noticed you pay on exit at the machine. Up the stairs or lift and you are right in the city centre , ideal if you cant get about so well . ! Cross the road and you will have miles of beautiful tiled traffic free streets to look around.
After 3 hours in Cartegena went to pay for car Park Exit ticket and it was only 3 Euros .. fantastic.
We drove back via the toll motorway to the RM3 and home in 40 minutes.
Do give it a try if you fancy something new and at the Port you can also take a 2 hour harbour tour by boat , which we will do next time.
