Cartagena - Post Report Question and Answers

Is this a "shopping post"? Are there interesting handicrafts, artwork, antiques, or other items that people typically buy there?

Hats, artwork, etc. I've heard that emeralds are cheaper, if you know what you are doing - Feb 2020


Yes, there is a mercado (almost like a flea market) where you can get unique things for a good price. - Aug 2019


There is functional black pottery and black-and-white woven straw items that are fun. There are also a number of painters and sculptors here; there is an art college. - Mar 2012
