Murcia Turistica Wine Bus banner WHATS ON

ARCHIVED - Saturday 19th October ENGLISH GUIDED TOUR: Cartagena harbour and Navidad fort

Take a boat trip out to the Christmas fort and discover more about the historic harbour of Cartagena

Mediterranean Cartagena tours is a firm specialising in English language guided tours of the Region of Murcia, using a fully qualified and legal official tour guide.

Cartagena has always been considered the best natural harbour in the Western Mediterranean, mainly because the hills that surround it sheltered ships from the wind during winter. By the 18th century it became completely fortified with coastal batteries. We will start our tour visiting the sea front in town, understanding the role of some of the most impressive naval facilities from that period. Later on we will take a boat tour across the harbour to one of the most important fortifications, the so-called Christmas Fort, to enjoy the history and scenery from a different point of view.
