I have just got back from another lovely warm week in Spain and while I was there visited one of my favourite places. Cartagena is New Carthage, the place where Hannibal landed on his way to fight the Romans. He made his way up the coast of Spain and over to Italy, possibly passing where I have my little house which is an exciting thought.
Cartagena is a wonderful place if you like history as it has Roman, Byzantine and medieval buildings and so much beautiful late 19th and early 20th century architecture it is breathtaking. Here are a few of my favourite ones in a little slide show.
Thanks for visiting and see you all again soon!

Beautiful pictures! We were just trying to plan a trip the other night and Spain came up but we don’t know much about it! Thanks for sharing your info and pictures!
Well if you want any help deciding where to and what to do let me know. It is a huge and diverse country and I have only visited a very tiny bit but love everything about it and would recommend it to anyone.
