With el Convento de la Popa, dating from 1607 (renovated in the 60s), built by the Augustinians and located on the highest point of Cartagena (200 m). This rectangular building with a floor is quite hardy. The lower part has practically no opening to the outside and contains a patio where a central well, a gallery and a church of course. It is just 10.00, buses and taxis tributary, in Cartagena today is the Epiphany and it's a holiday! At noon, the Church of the Convent, and all others in town, will be full ... let's not forget that 90% of the population is Catholic and most of all ... practitioner. We set off again towards the old city, which one never tires ...
