CARTAGENA, COLUMBIA #1
CASTILLO SAN FELIPE is the largest fort in the city. I believe it was built in the 1600s. Moody Blues is anchored out in the bay, off of Club Nautico, which is located on the “manga.” The dictionary says manga means sleeve, hose pipe, net or filter. It also says in nautical terms that it means berth, as in wide berth (which is what I feel like these days.) With four bridges coming onto and off the manga, it’s easy to tour wild and crazy Cartagena! Check out the fort:
