Gabriel Garcia Marquez Shared Tour: the magical Cartagena
Gabriel Garcia Marquez Shared Tour: the magical Cartagena
Gabriel Garcia Marquez Shared Tour: the magical Cartagena
For KrisFlyer members only
Highlights
Imagine walking the same streets that inspired “Love in the Time of Cholera.” In every house, on every balcony, you still feel the atmosphere that gave birth to Gabriel García Márquez’s literary universe.
During this tour, your guide Beyond will reveal how Cartagena marked the life of the Colombian Nobel laureate and how his novels were born from real places. You will discover what scenarios of San Diego are reflected in their stories, where the atmosphere of “From Love and Other Demons” arose and why this city was their emotional laboratory: the point where reality became magical realism.
Many of Gabo's characters were not invented, but inspired by people who walked these same streets. As you walk through them, you will feel how the line between fiction and history becomes almost invisible
It is a walk where the past blends with the imagination, where every stone has memory and every corner breathes poetry.
