Cartagena the best place for your holidays

HI mi dear frends:
today we let's talk about of Cartagena and how special it is to visit .
Well Cartagena is one of the best places to visit because it has a big variety in food, in music and about all the friendliness of people, this is so important because in other countries like Argentina the people isn't very polite.  For example the food in Buenos Aires isn't so delicios like hear in Colombia specifically in Cartagena also on the beach that is delicious. Else in Cartagena you can find many people from other countries and make new friends. Cartagena is sunny all day and you can make ecotourism else you can't do in Argentina because isn't ecology. Well this is all, I hope I've convinced to visit this wonderful city.
Bye bye bye

    one day in Cartagena

    WELCOME, we are travel agents. For this holidays we offer you the wonderful city of "Cartagena". Many people are very keen on visit this city maybe you too, beacuse there are a lot things that you can see in one day or two.

    When the people go to Cartagena, they usually visit the San Felipe's castle for learn about the history of the city. They also like to go to the Gloria ship because they have never been in a ship.
    Then, people go to the beach to have a wonderful time with their family, they swim, braid their hair and even have a meal of crab, ceviche or mango. But if you are eating, I recommend you, don't swim because is bad for your health and rembember don't drink sea water. After, people go out the water but they hate the sand beacuse it sticks to their body and this is very uncomfortable. At night people hardly ever are in the hotel beacuse they absolutely love to go to parties for dance.
