Creator's Key Takeaways

We reached the Monet Archaeological Park which is free to walk around and as well as having some interesting Roman buildings gives great views.

We're not sure how we feel about that. However, it is a fascinating place to visit.

Mildly disappointed, we took a walk along towards our next museum.

Then we took a walk back through what is a very interesting and very beautiful city from what we've seen so far and definitely somewhere we'd return to and explore some more.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Pre-purchase tickets for museums and the panoramic lift from Get Your Guide to save time and money.
βœ“Be prepared for windy conditions that may affect castle visits and require assistance for sailaway.

Part 6 of our Azamara Quest 9 Night Spain Intensive Cruise. We visit Cartagena, a vibrant and historic coastal city in the Murcia region of Spain. Whilst here we visit the Molinete Architectural Park, the Roman Forum Museum, take the Panoramic Lift up to Conception Castle, where we explore the grounds. Then we visit the Roman Theatre Museum, before walking back through the city to Azamara Quest, where we have lunch at the Patio Grill. Later on, we need 3 tugboats to help us out of port in the strong wind. April 2026.
