For a day of sun and sand you won’t regret going the extra mile to this unspoiled beach half an hour from Cartagena. Playa de Calblanque is on the road to Cabo de Palos, the headland at the southern end of La Manga. Take the exit for Calblanque and the road runs south towards the coast through farmland traced by the low arid mountains of the Calblanque Regional Park. Beyond these peaks is a secluded 300-metre beach with sands the shade of burnt gold. On quieter days you’ll have the beach almost to yourself, but don’t forget to bring refreshments as there’s hardly a sign of civilisation here.

A grown-up rainy day option is a tour of one of Spain’s most-exported liqueurs, Licor 43, distilled right in Cartagena. Book ahead and you’ll take a two-hour trip around the facility, picking up loads of factoids from your multi-lingual guide. For the uninitiated, Licor 43 is a 31% abv spirit, made with 43 different citrus fruits and spices, and goes best with ice and milk. On the visit you’ll see the production process up close, from mixing to fermentation, ageing and bottling. Try to avoid being the designated driver, because the tour concludes with cocktails!

Sightseeing

Of all the marvellous Roman landmarks in Cartagena, the 2,000 year-old theatre should be your first port of call. It was discovered as recently as 1988 beneath the ruins of the Old Cathedral, which had been destroyed during shelling in the Spanish Civil War. About two thirds of the theatre’s building material was still on site, which made possible the very detailed restoration you can see now.

An eerie time can be had at the tip of Cape Tiñoso, 30 minutes from Cartagena and reached via dirt roads. At 250 metres you’ll be able to gaze back at the extraordinary mountainous landscape of this natural park. But also here is an installation that mixes frivolous architecture with meaty and sinister artillery guns. It was built in the mid-1930s during the rule of Primo de Rivera as part of a series of batteries defending Cartagena’s coast. Whimsical medieval-style turrets blend with the mountainside and look strange next to the menacing, black Vickers-Armstrong guns. Use the torch on your phone to investigate the tunnels in the fortified area.

Arts & Culture

It’s fitting that this institution should be set in one of the western Mediterranean’s great ancient harbours, where new finds are made almost every year. ARQUA is a national centre for marine archaeology: A place to can see remarkable historical artefacts from underwater sites, but also a research facility for experts and scholars in the field. Find out how archaeologists analyse their discoveries at the laboratory area, which has interactive displays for kids. Among the many artefacts to check out are Carthaginian ivory tusks and the treasure of Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes, a frigate that was sunk in the early 19th century with 14.5 tons of gold and silver coins.

You can enter one of Cartagena’s most impressive modernist wonders, the 100 year-old town hall on Plaza del Ayuntamiento. This triangular palace was also a response to the mining boom in the late-19th century, as Cartagena had outgrown its former town hall. After suffering from structural problems in the 90s the building was restored to its Belle Époque glory days ten years ago. Take a few minutes to study the facade, composed entirely of white marble and topped with domes that are coated with local zinc. Get closer and you’ll even see a few bullet holes from the Civil War. There are English-speaking guided tours, showing you around the marble balustraded stairways and an exhibit of per

Find out how Roman Cartagena’s wealthy citizens lived. This domus’ name comes from a Latin inscription on its back entrance: “Fortuna Propitia”, meaning “good luck” and it would have greeted all visitors. It’s easy to get a feel for the site as there’s so much of the walls and decoration remaining, as well as a stretch of the roman road outside. You can make out the hallway (atrium), bedrooms (cubiculum), dining hall (triclinium) and the owner’s office (tablinum). There are surprising features everywhere, including wall paintings and mosaic floors.
