Cartagena Festivities

Among all variations in the fiestas within the city and its surrounding area, the Carnival in February with its musical groups and all their colour and costumes is the most outstanding.

After the fun Cartagena prepares its self with devotion for the celebration of the holy Week with the regiments and brotherhoods always the friendly confrontation between Californios and Marrajos, parading with perfect order.

Special mention must be made to the arly morning parade on Good Friday, called the Encuentro where the statues of Jesus de Nazareth and the Virgin Mary stage their encuentro in Lago suare from then on following the Via Crucis through the city centre.

In the last week of September the Fiestas de Cartagineses y Romanos is held when the city recalls the disembarkation of Scipio and the capture of the city.
