Feve to Cartagena

Had a great but tiring day yesterday. We caught the 10.20 Feve train in Los Nietos, only ones on it until the first stop! Costing E1.45 each it is great value to travel through some interesting countryside on the 30 minute journey to Cartagena.

We wandered through the old city back streets and were amazed how many building have been gutted and only there facades still exists propped up by endless scaffolding. One facade we saw was for sale on its own.  Many of the old buildings have had paintings added to them.

Our destination The Roman Theatre, not so easy to find the entrance which seemed to be a couple of streets away in the Mvseo Teatromano de Cartagena. Once found it was interesting getting back to the Roman Theatre through a series of displays and tunnels under the church of Santa Maria.

We stopped for hot chocolate, coffee and cake on the way back, rather expensive we thought but very nice carrot cake. Refreshed we wander along more back streets to a church that had its door open and was quite a surprise with its modern and old interior, could not find the name of the church anywhere!

1pm we caught the little train back to Los Nietos.
