I lived in Cartagena for 6 weeks last year and been a bunch of times. What do you want to know?
It's hot and humid.
Expensive as compared to Santo Domingo.
Amazing Colonial Zone that makes the one in Santo Domingo look like a rundown back yard.
Good transport.
Reliable utilities.
Beaches suck, but they have a great beach culture. Need to go to the islands for amazing beaches.
Expensive rents in estrato 5 and 6. Bocagrande, Castillogrande, Laguito etc.
I found Cartagena at least 30% more expensive in general than Medellin.
Loved barrio San Diago in Centro.
Met some amazing people and made some great friends in Cartagena, from the dentist Carlos Velez that looks after the Miss Colombia candidates to Edgar Estvez the #1 Chacabana maker on the planet.
If you plan to live there, avoid the expats and get to the know Colombians!
A very good friend
Kickball team. Normally played by girls in Colombia.
Edgar Estevez & his daughter Vanessa.
