"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."

There are no tours and you essentially just take photos of a wall.

Looks like a beautiful home - but there is no info or way to go inside. Best to just pass by while wandering through the city.

Nothing special because you can't visit it regular house. Nice to see where he lived. Many good restaurants around there. Nice night walk.

If you like history an enjoy the hot weather, then come on down. Just be sure you are not alone. This is a super relaxing area, zero stress.

A red walled building with no signage and nothing to tour. Fast walk-by at best

It's nice to see where Gabriel García Márquez lived, but it's really just an orange wall and a wooden door. You can't go inside as his sister still lives there.

Not worth it unless you're a real fan of him
