I will attach photos and directions. One photo is mine but the others are from Google maps. One image is the map, one image is the pasta dish section of their menu, one image is a Google street map image of standing at the plaza facing west and an arrow showing where the restaurant is and the other image is my last meal there.
Appreciate a good dining recommendation. I look forward to checking out this restaurant once things get back to normal (or closest thing to normal) to travel.

Sharing is good via PM

If you want to say chica friendly apartments by location name that's fine. At least in my opinion....for example the palmetto elliptic at this point does not allow guests, unless registered.
Sharing apartment locations and or links is good via PMs between members (broadcasting on forum reports is bad).

Is Juan or Mery still in business? I wrote them both but neither has answered. I knew them from way back. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Check your PM box, I sent you a message.
I have not even checked on the hotel situation in quite a few years but when I did the ones that allowed girls brought in were more close to 2 star basic amenities places. I prefer an apartment anyway so can cook my own breakfast etc, and I have plenty of space to stretch out and relax as well as entertain.

Should I play Friday Saturday Sunday or Sunday Monday Tuesday?
Sundays are normally slow, but as I remember there was still action at the clock tower. Not sure about the discos. I would say Friday and Saturday are better and the curfew is much later. Have fun.

If I shop around and I'm not too awful picky and I consent to a condom even for a blow job than I can find a chica for around $40 which is probably not as cheap as you were paying in Bogota but for my money the quality is better in Cartagena, I realize that many guys have different taste, but there is no other place on the planet that has the concentration of hot chicas for sale in such a small area, but my point is where you going to pay $40 or even $60 in the US when its not some scabies ridden crack ho. So what exactly do you mean when you say more expensive than US?

As I said in a previous post, Cartagena has two prices, one for locals and the other for tourists, however, you have to have common sense and not pay the price they give you right away, and yes, this is the most expensive city in Colombia. , but even so with the current price of the dollar, I do not think it is as expensive as the US.
Regarding the beaches, Cartagena does have turquoise blue beaches, only they are not those of Bocagrande, you need to take a boat or yacht and go to the Rosario Islands, check this out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v = lV7 aiRnX9 iE.

Going back tomorrow unless things change drastically later. Santa Fe is almost as good as Asia hot spots Different vibe. A little more edgy. But there are some gems. I'm not getting the same experience here in Cartegena as some of the previous people have posted. Maybe after Santa Fe I was expecting too much.
