4. Having Coffee and pastries at Mila – Being gluten free means I cant eat the amazing brownies anymore!! but the rest is still great  and breakfast here with arepa de huevo is excellent. The coffee is fabulous too!

5. The view of Cartagena at night from the Pool at the Santa Teresa Hotel

6. Carriage rides around the old city

7.  The doorknobs and terraces of the Old City Houses (well it could encompass the architecture in general)
