"Gabriel García Márquez Walking Tour The spirit of the late Gabriel García Márquez—one of Colombia's most beloved cultural figures, and certainly its most beloved writer—lives on in Colombia, and is felt palpably in Cartagena. Though the Nobel Prize–winning author lived in Mexico City for many years, he had a home in Cartagena, and it was one of the cities that inspired his novels and the magical-realist style in which they were written. A walking tour focuses on the city's influence on the work of Gabo (to use his affectionate nickname), with a smart narrative recounting historical, cultural and literary references."
