This experience is like walking into art world with a local friend. It is about let yourself get surprised by the art shown in the moment in the city, as every week it is different because it is constantly changing. It is all art scene in 2 hours, meeting galleries, artists (maybe), curators and stories about artistic world in Cartagena.

There is more in the list but it is depending on the time, and we could include Artist Studios stops, Small Galleries stops and underground scene if wanted.

During the walk we can have a drink on the way and please understand that this is a curator walking with you in private tour and there will not be more people that your group, couple or person; so all the time it is all about to have a sincere dialogue about art, ideas and we will see what else...

This tour is unique since it is carefully created because it combines fun experiences, history, storytelling and free time for adults and children specially designed by primary school teachers for families with children from six years and older who want to discover the city together.
