Off the Beaten Path: A great visit to the Bazurto Food Market in Cartagena - Cindy of Cartagena Concierge did a great job organizing a trip to the Bazurto Food Market for me followed by a beach front lunch with the fresh lobster we bought at the market. The market is gritty, perhaps not for every tourist, but it was so colorful and interesting to visit the stalls selling meat--even cow's eyeballs--all types of fish, all types of tropical fruits and vegetables. Cindy accompanied me on the visit and was great navigating the byzantine alleys of the marketplace. The old city of Cartagena can feel very touristy, so visiting the market was like a breath of fresh air and a chance to experience local life. After the market, we drove to the Boquilla beach nearby and a lovely local lady prepared the lobsters we had just bought at the market. We had a wonderful beach side lunch with coconut rice, grilled lobster, plaintains, salad, and local beer. It was a great morning and early afternoon. The driver was also terrific. A Cartagena local, Cindy is super nice, down to earth, and a font of great information about living in Cartagena and its history. I highly recommend a visit to the market with Cartagena Concierge.
