Adventure Scrapbook – Cartagena, Spain

Cartagena is a delightful port city and naval base located in the Murcia region of southeast Spain. The city was founded by the Carthaginians around 220 B.C., and it boomed during the Roman period. The city boasts many Roman ruins which are easy to visit. One of the most amazing is the ancient Roman theater that was unearthed just 30 years ago in the center of the city. Access to the ruins is through a museum which displays many treasures found during the excavation. Magnificent architecture can be seen nearly everywhere you look, but one of my favorite sites was watching colorful kayaks assemble for an early morning race in the harbor. The scene was serene and I watched until the kayaks sped from view.
