From Plaza de Santo Domingo to Gabriel García Márquez's house in San Diego Cartagena , experience the art, music and literature of the bohemian neighborhood where our writer lived absurd, magical and imaginary realities that influenced his life and later the lives of his characters that give full meaning to the magical realism that we love and enamor so much.
