The weather in Spain has been beautiful in May.
Now, it may seem that we spend a lot of money by traveling on a regular basis, but everything is so cheap and affordable that it makes sense to take advantage of the time here.
By booking discounted bus tickets, we made our way to Cartagena, Spain with ALSA and their Supra Economy bus loaded with free water and movies. As some of you might have heard, there is a different Cartagena, one that has recently been acclaimed as a new top destination in South America and Colombia
Honestly, I knew little of Cartagena in Spain. So are a few things that we learned:
- It is in the region of Murcia
- Its main economy comes from its Port
- There are lots of wonderful cats

The city is small, so it is very easy to walk around in. Plus, the locals are friendly and will help you with anything you need.
An hour's drive you can find the famed, La Manga beach strip with water on both sides. However, the Cala Cortina beach cove was our winner. It is only 4 km from Cartagena, and as you can see from the picture, it has clear water, rocks surrounding it and a sense of privacy from the world.
Cartagena was wonderful and sunny, and we would recommend it to anyone touring the south of Spain during the warmer weather.
