Why Does the Golden Hour in Cartagena Feel Like Magic?
When the sun begins to set, the city transforms. The golden light stretches shadows, deepening the reds, yellows, and ochres of colonial walls. Balconies, draped in bougainvillea, catch the last rays like open hands holding sunlight. The cobblestones warm underfoot, their rough surfaces whispering memories of the past. In this moment, Cartagena is not just seen—it is felt.
