In Colombia Semana Santa or Holy Week around Easter, is like Spring Break in the USA. For our parents it might be about going to church, but if you’re a young Colombian, you’re probably packing your suitcase, reserving a hotel or hostel and buying flight to Las Vegas, Colombia. Yes my friends, I have not misspoken, Cartagena is the city that does not turn off its lights, it welcomes you with open arms and invites you to live a whole week of rumba, dance, and much, much fun in the best style of this multicultural city.
Walk through its streets and you will find its alluringly lit squares, full of chairs and tables, bars with open doors inviting the passing tourist to enter, nightly shows by characters who imitate famous artists such as Shakira, Michael Jackson, Carlos Vives. And, ladies and gentlemen, do not forget to be prepared with a piggy bank under your arm, because although the show is free, they always pass a hat looking for some remuneration (just like Las Vegas….).
In every corner of the city you will find someone frozen in character personifying a "fisherman", a "slave", the "Predator" that left the film to look for Arnold Schwarzenegger in our streets, or even Optimus Prime of Transformers looking for Decepticons. In most popular squares like The Plaza de San Diego, Santo Domingo, Bolívar, Fernandez de Madrid and San Pedro you will hear the typical afro-descendant rhythms of our culture, and see the native dancers move their hips and their bodies as if they were elastic dolls, seducing the looks of locals and tourists. This is a city that offers you as many different options for top restaurants per sq meter as Las Vegas, Paris, or LA, but at much better prices. From $10 USD to $30 USD per person, 30.000 COP to 90.000 COP you can find a world class meal or something delicious to carry in your hand while you walk through the cobbled streets.
