This is a tour to one of the most unsuspected spots in Cartagena, that just a few locals know about: the city’s ancient watercourse nowadays known as La Algameca, whose traditional function was to lead water from floods into the sea. Up to the 18th century, those waters got to the harbor, but when the Spanish Navy chose to locate their facilities on the right extreme of the bay by the 18th century, the existing ravine was diverted behind one of the hills surrounding the harbor. The resulting new watercourse – La Algameca Chica – began to be used by locals as a humble summer resort. Tour starts by a really beautiful Art-Nouveau building from the local Mining Heyday, to continue alongside the now dry ravine and passing by quite impressive remaining pieces of the 18th century wall until getting to the mouth of the watercourse, already by the sea. Meeting Point & Time: Plaza de España, 10.30 AM - 2'15 hour long tour - 15 € per person
