Cartagena oozes romance. Its walled old town is a pastel-hued warren of colonial mansions, blooming balconies and elegant towers – which is why it was used as a film set, for the 2008 adaptation of Gabriel García Márquez's novel Love in the Time of Cholera. It's the perfect backdrop for Márquez's amorous allegory; indeed, though it's not named in the book, Cartagena is clearly the town he had in mind. The Plaza de los Coches became the 'arcade of scribes', where the protagonist pens love poetry; as you pass the houses and horse carriages of the colonnaded square you may feel similarly inspired.

Cartagena, on Colombia's Caribbean coast, is hot year-round, though blessed by sea breezes; December to April is the dry season.
