    This is the Plaza right in front of University of Cartagena where Gabriel Garcia Marquez attended Law school. (He would leave and become a writer) The benches are nice and its really nice at night. The restuarant Alma is in front and a part of the plaza is used by the restaurant. Alma has happy hour so its a nice place to sit outside and have a cocktail

    Love the history and buildings. Great sightseeing both daytime and night. Although be prepared for the crowd to change after dark. Not a place for youngsters.

    (Translated by Google) The place looks good to spend a quiet moment, it has a view of the old houses and right there is Juan Valdez, where you can have a coffee and go out to sit on the benches. (Original) El lugar luce bien para pasar un momento tranquilo, tiene vista de las casas antiguas y justo ahí está Juan Valdez, dónde te puedes tomar un café y salir a sentarte en las bancas.

    (Translated by Google) 30 years ago this site was only a public space that was used by some people to park their vehicles. At some point the City Hall decided to build this small park that does not have many trees but enough so that the temperature is pleasant in the daytime, sit on the few benches that it has and recreate with the daily life of Cartagena or simply take a coffee or a soft drink. In this park there are street vendors who sell fast food and soft drinks. This site is frequented mainly by students of the University of Cartagena, hence its name, being used by them to exhibit artistic manifestations such as theater, dance, and music. (Original) Hace 30 años este sitio sólo era un espacio público que era aprovechado por algunas personas para parquear sus vehículos. En algún momento la Alcaldía de la ciudad decidió construir este pequeño parque que no tiene muchos arboles pero si los suficientes para que la temperatura sea agradable en las horas diurnas, sentarse en las pocas bancas con que cuenta y recrearse con la cotidianidad cartagenera o simplemente tomar un café o un refresco. En esta parque se hallan vendedores ambulantes que expenden comidas rápidas y refrescos. Este sitio es frecuentado principalmente por estudiantes de la Universidad de Cartagena, de allí su nombre, siendo utilizado por ellos para realizar exposición de manifestaciones artísticas como teatro, danza, música.

    (Translated by Google) There are places around it with a variety and how everything is neat, the journey felt great, if you get to be here you should take a little walk 🤭😄. Do not lose the temptation to taste at the bakery on the corner of pan de bono. 🤪🤫 (Original) Hay lugares a su alrededor de variedad y cómo todo está aseado se sintió el recorrido estupendo, si llegas a estar por acá debes darte una pasadita 🤭😄. No pierdas la tentación de degustar en la panadería de la esquina del pan de bono. 🤪🤫
