Cartagena, Spain Hotels and City Guide

The city of Cartagena, on Spain's Levant coast, is close to the better known visitor destinations of Alicante and Murcia. Although small, Cartagena is an interesting, working port set in a deep bay with a natural harbour, sheltered by promontories. It is unspoiled by time and commercialism yet manages to successfully maintain a business-like air, encouraging new industries to keep the harbour busy. The surrounding area of Cartagena is Spain at its most delightful: the Huertas rise majestically above lush, green orange groves fed by an ancient network of canals.
