Cartagena will once again travel back more than 2,200 years this September as the city comes alive for its famous Carthaginians & Romans Festival.

 

The annual celebration is one of the biggest events on the Cartagena calendar, attracting thousands of people who come to see the city transformed by historical costumes, music, marching bands, street entertainment and spectacular recreations inspired by the battles between the Carthaginians and Romans.

 

And for anyone who wants to experience the atmosphere without having to worry about driving and parking, Raquel Tours is organising a special coach trip to the festival on Saturday September 26 alongside a bird’s eye view of the breathtaking parade.

 

The trip gives visitors free time to explore Cartagena before meeting up with the group for the evening festivities and famous parade.

 

The Carthaginians & Romans Festival is particularly impressive once the main celebrations get underway, with thousands of participants taking part in the colourful historical events.

 

The evening parade is one of the highlights, with elaborate costumes, historical characters, music and large groups making their way through the city.

 

 

Raquel Tours' trip is designed to make the evening as easy as possible. After arriving in Cartagena, guests will have free time to explore the historic city before heading to a reserved restaurant terrace close to the parade route.

 

The terrace provides somewhere to relax and soak up the atmosphere before the parade, with food and drinks available to purchase. Guests can also use the restaurant facilities and meet up with the rest of the tour group.

 

The parade is expected to begin at around 6.30pm to 7pm, making the terrace a convenient base for enjoying the evening.

 

One of the biggest advantages of joining the organised trip is that visitors don't have to deal with finding somewhere to park in Cartagena during one of the city's busiest weekends.

 

Return coach transport is available from a number of resorts and locations across the Murcia area, including Hacienda del Álamo Golf Resort, La Torre Golf Resort, El Valle Golf Resort, Altaona Golf Resort, Las Terrazas de la Torre Golf Resort, Mar Menor Golf Resort, Santa Rosalía, Roda Golf, La Serena Golf, Corvera Golf Resort and Murcia city.

 

Other pickup locations may also be available on request, so travellers are encouraged to ask Raquel Tours about the closest option.

 

The tours can also be enjoyed by visitors from a range of nationalities, with guides available in English, Dutch, Flemish, German, French, Italian and Spanish.

 

With its combination of history, colourful costumes, music and entertainment, the Carthaginians & Romans Festival offers something a little different from a typical day trip to Cartagena.

 

The special Raquel Tours trip costs just €34 for adults and €22 for children under 12.

 

Places are limited, so anyone interested in joining the trip on Saturday September 26 is advised to book early.
