December 24: Christmas Eve in Cartagena


Christmas Eve in Cartagena with our dogs. A Merry Christmas to all!




Back to Carmen for Christmas Eve dinner. Eager diners! Carmen prepared a 5-course price fixe dinner for Christmas Eve.


First course, mahi ceviche with black onions and a sauce of passion fruit and tiger's milk.


Second course, shrimp chorizo with cilantro, spicy mayo, sauce of coconut and chili's, and a black quinoa chip.


Third course, grilled duck confit with berry glaze, almond rice, and braised spinach.


Fourth course, spiced double-cut pork rib with creamy polenta, plus cabbage braised with bacon, tawny port and apple.


And for dessert, Amazonian copoazu flan, pistachio and lychee, plus fermented strawberry caramel. A foodie's delight!

After dinner, more Christmas Magic in the Walled City.
























Same Christmas Tree, alternating light settings. Just outside the Torre del Reloj, entrance to the Walled City.
