Party Party Party

There's a great deal more to Cartagena than the sea, however, and that is having fun and partying.  While any day of the year might host a major event in Cartagena, which in turn could spur a bevy of parties the months of November thru April are chock filled with events that draw revelers from around the world.  The kick off is the Miss Colombia pageant when for 10 days or so 'the girls' are flaunted, paraded and displayed all over town.  Soon after, the city begins preparation for Christmas and New Year's Eve.  The decorations are amazing and the parties too numerous to describe.  The week leading up to Easter, known as Semana Santa sees the city swell with partygoers and the parades are everywhere, one of which passes right in front of Casa San Agustín on the morning of Good Friday.




Between November when Cartagena braces itself for the Miss Colombia pageant through Christmas and New Years and on to Easter it is one big party...
