Published: Feb. 6, 2009, 2:22 p.m.

b'Founded by the Spanish in 1533, Cartagena is Colombia\\u2019s and possibly Latin America\\u2019s finest Colonial city, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Shortly after it was founded it became the main Spanish port on the Caribbean coast, and was used to store gold and other treasure plundered from the Indians before it was transported back to Spain.

In this podcast we discuss finding accommodation in Cartagena, we record the sounds of the old town at night, and finish off with a discussion sitting on top of Castillo San Filipe \\u2013 the largest Spanish fort built in the Americas.
