The historical landmark Batería de Castillitos is a medieval-style battery built on a cape overlooking the sea. The place has an amazing view, and there are plenty of history hidden in the old buildings. It's free to enter (October 2021), and parking is very poor - although there are some places to park nearby. The drive up is definitely scary, but the views and scenery are so worth it!
Pretty scary drive up, take it very slowly as difficult to pass on very narrow road. However views and scenery are spectacular so we'll worth it. Also great little bar restaurant when you come back down so will need a drink. Take water with you as you cannot get anything up there.

Awesome place, views, history. Great to spend a few hours, kids were enjoying the tunnels and stairs inside the Fortress. Parking is a bit limited as the official parking place had washed out ditch and required a skilled driver to enter, thus most parked along the road. But very few people, so no problems at all.

Wow. Crazy drive into the mountains to get to the battery and castle but so so worth it! A fantastic adventure. my 10 year old boy loved walking through the old garrison buildings. Make sure you have enough petrol and take some drinking water. no shops for miles. The views are exceptional.

Nice to spend one hour. I believe the sunset is even nicer to see from here.. we couldn't wait that long. You can enter the bunker and explore. The road is narrow from time to time.
Also, I don't know if you're allowed to go with camper vans.

Outstanding historical site. Part of the coastal defense system. Two huge guns still remaining. Remarkable architecture. Stunning views. Access by car via a narrow and bumpy military road with a lot of potholes. Two other batteries in walking distance. Good shoes necessary. Recommended!

Super nice place to see. Stunning view and the canons are amazing for a photo spot. You can go there by car but be aware that the street is sometimes quite catchy cause of the big chuckholes. Better you come with a SUV or Jeap or at least drive super slow in certain places.

Nice place with a great view. And lots of history hiding in the old buildings.
Entrance is free (October 2021)
Parking is very poor (see photos)
The drive to the parking lot is very narrow, and there are many points where 2 cars can't pass each other.
We combined our visit there, with a long hike in the area, to a nice beach.
Jonas J?rgensen — Google review
Breathtaking place, the views are simply amazing. Another good thing about it is that it is free, don't have to pay anything to enter.
I'd say that the only bad thing about the place is that there's only one road to get in and to get out. It is kinda narrow as well as a little bit broken so if yall plan to go there, drive safe.

Second time we have been here and it is still an amazing place to have a walk around. Not ideal for those with pushchairs as can be difficult in places. Would advise to get there early morning as there is limited parking and also depending on the weather it can get very hot. Also advisable to take water. As always the drive up to the guns is always fun although a little more pot holed than I recall.
Apologies if you do not like the black and white photos but I think it adds a nice little touch.
Paul Hassall — Google review
If you can stomach the drive up to the guns you will be rewarded with fantastic views but more importantly the architecture and guns still remain. Lots to see and walk around. Can't believe that it is free as it is maintained well. You certainly must visit
Harriet Susan Gardner — Google review
If you’re looking for amazing views, a bit of history and some adventure, this is the place. We did the way from Camposol to the place and was fun, you can drive up to the place, the road is old, narrow and with lots of portholes, be careful.
At the entrance of the Castilitos Baterry is a small parking.
Nice place with beautiful views from every corner.
The place is free of charge, with not any facilities around, wear appropriate shoes, clothes, carry water and food with you if you stay longer.
Under the big two cannons are some tunnels we can go and you need torch to see.
Highly recommended.

Really enjoyed my visit to this disused fortified Castle with its amazing views over the Cartegena area. I parked my motorhome in La Azohia and walked to the Batallion along the coastal path walk which is very challenging but great fun, approx 10 mile round trip.
Entrance is free and there is so much to see in a few different locations. The day I went the weather was overcast but still nice views.

Arrived at the bottom of the steep narrow winding and seen the sign for no campervan or motorhome past this point. Cars and motorbikes allowed.We decided to go for the 8km journey on our E bikes and we were so glad they were E bikes with strong motors and battery life. It was a fantastic trip with awesome scenery to see the fortress. Once there the view point gets even better. A really enjoyable morning cycle visit

Fabulous place to visit. Can take up to 3 hours to walk around it all, make sure it's early morning or later in the day as it gets very hot.
No cost to visit, take care inside some of the buildings as walls / ceilings are unsafe.
It gives you a true sense of military life... officer's accommodation, army barracks, artillery stores, lookout posts etc.
It was fascinating to see how the shells for the guns were transported from the artillery stores on a track, then hoisted up to be loaded.
The guns, although sadly defaced with graffiti as is most of the area, are huge and dominate the skyline... very impressive.
Well worth a visit.
Caroline Fisher — Google review
The castle is very beautiful in the middle of a picturesque nature and overlooks the sea from the top of the mountain, but the road to it from the bottom to the top is about ten kilometers, a little bumpy, narrow, sloping and winding a lot on one side of the mountain and on the other side a valley to the sea. I recommend visiting, but drive with extreme caution.

The road was somewhat rough, but problem-free. Spectacular scenery, rich history. Kids loved it! Perfect for combining with a hiking adventure all the way down to the sea. Highly recommended!
Calblanque beach is a secluded, tranquil stretch of sand located in a scenic natural setting. The beach is well-known for its small, rocky coves and steep cliffs which make it ideal for swimming. There are also a few small groves of trees nearby to provide shade if needed. Access to the beach is easy via a private road, and there is ample parking available.
Very beautiful wild beach. They have closed the fragile parts of the dunes to stop erosion but that doesn't stop people clambering over them, unfortunately. Lovely dark yellow sand and clear water. Well worth the extra effort to get there.

catherine fox — Google review
The beach itself is rather nice and fairly few people their. I wouldn't give the sand beach 5 stars however, but the cliffs to the right of the beach was amazing! By walking 5 minutes or so we found at least 3 great spots where we could lie down on fairly smooth surface as well as being able to jump or walk into the clear blue water. No other people in sight.
Went there two days in a row and will definitely return when I'm in the area in the future!
The only downside is that you need to park your car 10 minutes drive from the beach, pay 3€ per person and take a bus (which leaves every 30 minutes) to get to the beach.
All in all: for couples who'd like some privacy - find great cliffs to the right of the beach. For families (or others) who'd like a beach with fewer people - just pick a spot on the main beach.

Teatro Romano de Cartagena is an ancient Roman amphitheater that has been restored and turned into a museum displaying artifacts found by archaeologists. Visitors can enjoy walking through the amphitheater, taking in the views from the top, and exploring the surrounding hilltop area. Tickets can be purchased from various locations including the boat travel ticket box on the front of the marina at reasonable prices to avoid waiting in queues for entry.
Interesting trip through the museum, but the real attraction is walking through the amphitheatre, up to the top, and taking in the views.
I would also recommend taking a left turn out of the exit, up the steps and heading right up to the very top of the hill (where the tall metal spikes can be seen). Had we not done so we would have missed out on some great sights and amazing views of the whole city!
Worth also mentioning that we got our tickets from the boat travel ticket box on the front of the marina and found the prices very reasonable. I'm not sure if the price was different from buying at the museum, but it meant we did not have to queue to get in, which is worth it for that alone.

Wonderful place. Only found in 1995. Still finding remains. It's strange as you have a busy town centre and at the back , all the ruins. Absolutely amazing. Can get a guide or walk yourself. Bit hilly to get to the top but such a great view. 👍

Only 5 euros each and 2ell worth a visit. There is an informative museum piece and a small complimentary guide. the amphitheatre is very well presented and restored. You also get access to the gardens above which lead up to a castle and museum with videos etc. the castle is 3.5 euros (April 2022)

Just amazing only discovered in 1990 after being built over . Go through the museum to enter, this also well worth it. Very quiet when we visited on a winter week day. Highly recommended. Mind you the whole city of Cartagena is wonderful. Lots to do and see. Great history.
Malcolm Thomas — Google review
The museum is well set out and surprisingly spacious after entering the Tardis like small entrance. Spread over various floors but with escalators it easy to navigate. Some good exhibits highlight the importance of Cartagena as a port in Roman times. The teatro Romano itself is well worth seeing for it's overall effect. Of course it has been heavily restored after having been built on for generations. It is not always easy to see what is original and what isn't, although there are some maps that try to help. But well worth a visit.
Peter Clark — Google review
Stunning restored amphitheater with additional info on other finds and the surrounding dig area. Beware it can get crowded due to large group tours. You can peer over the edge for free at the street above, but access is not expensive and worth seeing up close if you’re interested.

The entrance to the Museum is not where you think 🤔 it would be. It's located on the main street, we had short wait before entering due to a large cruise ship being in port. Once in you walk around exhibition of finds and work your up the levels to main event.

I took my 3 year old free entrance for him €5 for me.
By the way I see people confused on entry point of Teatro, it’s right facing the Ayuntamiento building on the Main Street.
There is levels to this place with various Artifacts on display all very interesting.
Escalators take you up to the mid level of Teatro.
Views are absolutely phenomenal, the place is immaculate and been kept very very well, you can almost feel the atmosphere from years gone by in here.
Brilliant day enjoined every minute I will be back again.

This place is well worth a visit. Cheap entry fee that you don't have to pre book. When we went it was very quiet so you can get great photos without crowds in them. The main building is cool with great AC so you can wander around and read the history in comfort. Outside however is a different story. It was 40c when we went and we couldn't stay too long as it was horrendously hot. I highly recommend a visit to this historic place if you are in the area.

This is a beautiful history place. You will love it if you like Rome history. You can also read about how they discover the theater and the journey to recover.
The location is not far away from the old city and if you came with the cars there is a parking place not far away from it.
It cost less than €1 to park beside the road.

This is a beautiful Roman amphitheater in the heart of Cartegena. You enter the amphitheater through a series of tunnels and bridges that cross a museum and you can explore the site on your own. If you come to the city and have time for only one place to visit - this is the place. The site is wheelchair accessible and there is a WC for wheelchair users.

Cala del Pino is a picturesque beach located in a hilly cove with the remains of a Bronze Age settlement nearby. The calm waters and lovely suntrap make it an ideal spot for urban swimming and sunbathing. The beach offers plenty of shade under trees and shallow waters, making it suitable for little ones. A short walk around the buildings on the left leads to a much longer shoreline. There are two nice restaurants and bathroom facilities available, but disabled parking is limited.

It's a very stoney beach. You need footwear. There's a cliffside walk down to it and not a lot of parking at the top. When I went there in September it was as good as empty, but I understand it gets busy. It isn't officially a nudist beach, but every one there - all seven of us - were naked. You can walk to the next cove along, but today two arrogant men were 'guarding' the pass and watching anyone walking past. As one was playing with himself this was a little intimidating.

A nice little amusement park with some basic rides and trampolines. It looks like it hasn't gotten a fresh coat of paint in a many years, but that doesn't stop the kids from enjoying the rides.

(Translated by Google) A spectacular island, we walked through the sea to the island, a very friendly couple from the town guided us, people were going to do mud baths and we signed up, they took some mud out of the water and explained to us how to do it. What to give and the benefits they have, once full of mud we cross the island along a path to the other side, in that area the water is a little deeper. We soaked for a long time to remove the mud. The experience was unique.

(Translated by Google) I recommend a trip to this island. The island itself may not be very interesting (although it is a nice place for a picnic and the views are beautiful), but reaching it by foot across the water is very exciting. Fortunately, the road is well marked and getting to the island is not complicated. Of course, you have to go when the water is warm. For me it was a great trip.

(Translated by Google) A great place to anchor, before with the picnic areas it was great to go and despite the opinion of some, it was very clean. Since they've been gone, it's not as clean because no one is in charge of cleaning and they continue to have barbecues. Furthermore, when the docks are removed, only the boats can approach and they were perfect to spend the nights.

I recommend visiting it by kayak from Los Urrutias, it is really close, and on a good sunny day without wind it can be a very nice experience.

Highly recommended. Sessions available in English if needed. Paula was very welcoming, Alba gave a fantastic tour of the museum and factory. Tony gave us a wonderful masterclass showing how versatile this unique liquor can be. The fluent English made it easy to get answers to any questions. Groups can be large or small, but that is the luck of the draw as a tourist...we were lucky enough to be just two of us even though a group of 60 went through that same morning. I was able to purchase liquors in the range that are not available on Australia. I did suggest that global shipping options be available at the store (it is too difficult to arrange this myself from Cartagena with limited Spanish); if available I would have bought much more! Thank you Paula, Alba and Tony and the Zamora family.

Booked the 1 hour long Visita Premium for myself and 3 others - 3 massive Licor 43 fans, and one designated driver!
The tour starts with a tasting of the original Licor 43, followed by a presentation in the auditorium about the history. Then there’s a really interesting tour of the museum that has loads of fascinating articles, charting the evolution of Licor 43 - from production to famous marketing campaigns.
Then there’s a taster of some of the new flavours (I’m a big fan of the chocolate edition!). Following on, there’s an in-depth tour of the production process - right from secret formulation through to bottling, quality control and packing.
Finally we got a demo on how to make Ginger43 cocktail and got to drink it too. I learned to put Licor 43 in AFTER the ginger ale (rookie error). Also got to try the baristo version.
Our English speaking guide, Paola was exceptionally welcoming and knowledgable. I think she’s a real credit to the company.
There’s a shop there, that sells all the new flavours and the original Licor 43 in various sizes, as well as lots of other gifts like drinking glasses so that you can recreate the experience at home. This was a Licor 43 lovers paradise!!! I came away with an assortment of glasses and flavours - and I was also really impressed with the branded shopping bags
The cost of the tour is very reasonable and I would highly recommend it if you’re visiting the Cartagena area. I have every intention of coming back and doing the 2 hour long experience that includes fruit picking and a cocktail making masterclass.

Exellent licor and a very nice experience. The guide talked good english, showed us around and let us taste the diffrent kinds of Licor 43. She also showed us how to do a very cooling drink with Licor 43 and Ginger Ale. A realy nice experience, that I recommend!

THANK YOU ANA!!! We took a trike tour and we had them drop us off at Experiencia 43 the Liquor 43 factory and tasting room. Big fans from Mexico and USA we got a wonderful vip tour from Ana the lead person who due to our time constraints gave us an abbreviated tour. Great knowledge and hospitality she went out of her way to give us a taste (literally and figuratively) of the history and future of Liquor 43. We will be back and enjoy the bottles we bought! Gracias!

Well set out. Little museum and presentation explaining the development and advertising over the years. A bar and shop with various samples to try. Personally I don't like liquor but when they turned it onto a cocktail it was lovely. There was also a tour of the factory on an overhead walkway, very interesting. Plus I just like the architecture of the buildings. Worth a visit.

Super tour. Lots of history about the company but very little about the production process.
Lovely people who are very helpful.
Well laid out and suitable for those with restricted mobility.
We did the picking tour and it was a small group of us.
It turns out that the company manufactures a lot more than just 43 and
we got to try 8 of the drinks they manufacture, and could have tried more.
Personally I could only sip a little as I was driving.
I see why this sells out so quickly.
You must book in advance.

I enjoyed the experience; you can taste the different flavors of Licor 43. You'll also get some background story about how it originated. And yes! All bottles from all over the world come from this one factory. It's definitely a recommendation and takes just the right amount of time.

We really enjoyed the tour with masterclass, the staff is very passionate about the brand which really shows during a tour. We visited 05/01/24 12.00hrs. I hope management is reading, you have a great team there! Only thing I missed was an public EV charger 😉

Firstly , Alba is a credit to your company. She was incredible. Nothing too much trouble. Helped with gift vouchers, booking, return taxis. She is amazing.
Then the tour. Welcome hot towels and drinks, the history of the family is amazing . If you are Neurodiverse, I would speak to them first about going into the factory as very bright and loud. However, I am sure they will have a solution when you talk to them. They accommodate dietary requirements too. Then the finale. A masterclass making 3 cocktails with all ingredients laid out, followed by nibbles. It was really great and a lovely birthday present for my friend . Thank you to everyone.
We were asked for any suggestions, I would have loved to pick an orange or lemon from their trees, or something botanical, just to enhance the experience of something so unique .
Thanks again

The Museo Foro Romano. Molinete is an archaeological museum located in the city of Cartagena, Spain. The museum showcases various artifacts and remains from the Roman Forum of Carthago Nova, which was a significant urban center during the Roman Republic and Empire periods. Visitors can see a diverse collection of exhibits that offer insight into the social, economic, and religious aspects of daily life in ancient Carthago Nova.
A must visit for fans of the Ancient Roman Empire. The expansion they have added over the last few years make this an interesting and exciting historical attraction. Lots to see, amazing finds, great frescoes, and friendly staff.

(Translated by Google) The truth is that I was quite disappointed, it is located in an inhospitable and difficult place to get to and when you want to talk to him, the Priest tells you that he has a table reserved for dinner, and that you should look for someone in your Parish to attend to you. The truth is that I'm disappointed, you never expect that answer. But it is good to know, with not returning resolved, there are complaints for all the "few Priests" parishioners who are increasingly scarce, but with that attitude, naturally, you say to yourself: I AM NOT COMING BACK. Needless to say, he is told that you are not from there, and it is very important for you to talk to him.
(Original)
Lo cierto es que me quede bastante defraudada, está situado en un lugar inhóspito y complicado de llegar y cuando deseas hablar con él Sacerdote te dice que tiene una mesa reservada para cenar, y que te busques en tu Parroquia, quién te atienda. Lo cierto es que me desencanto, jamás esperas esa contestación. Pero bueno es saberlo, con no volver resuelto, hay quejas para todo "pocos Curas" feligreses que cada vez son más escasos, pero con esa actitud, naturalmente, te dices: NO VUELVO. Ni que decir tiene que se le dice que no eres de allí, y es muy importante para ti, hablar con él.

Situated near La Manga Club, this establishment can be easily reached by car. Initially, attempting to make a reservation over the phone proved futile due to communication difficulties. However, upon arrival, it was found that the facility was open for business. The prices were initially deemed high in comparison to those in the UK; for instance, 29 units of currency were required for an eight-minute ride on a speedy 350cc cart - quite steep indeed.
Superb championship-quality kart track, with an excellent selection of karts for all ages and abilities. My boys and I had a great afternoon throwing the Honda 200 and 300 karts around the circuit in a safe and relaxed environment.

Staying at La Manga Club, this place is just a short drive away.
First experiences, unfortunately ringing to book didn’t work, as we couldn’t understand one another on the phone.
We decided to drive here and found it open.
Initially we found the prices high compared to the UK, €29 for 8 minutes for the fast 350cc cart seems steep.
We decided to book for 16 minutes....
It was long enough.... !!
The course is good, some challenging parts too.
My colleague managed to blow a tire, he was trying hard....
So in the end had a good time.
