Self-guided Audio Tour: Ghost of the Downtown: Fear in the Streets

This tour talks about the 5 most important legends of the historic center of Cartagena, narrated by Miguel Quero himself:


  • The legend of the evil spirit in the fountain of Plaza de Santo Domingo: It narrates the presence of a dark and malevolent entity that inhabits the heart of the city. It is said that this being, born of ancient black magic rituals, clung to the fountain and turned it into its eternal abode. Locals warn visitors to stay away from the fountain at night, when the spirit is most active, and to avoid disturbing its tranquility, as those who defy this warning risk suffering a terrible fate at the hands of the evil spirit.


  • The legend of Mahan and María Encarnación in Mantilla Street: It tells a story of tragic or cursed love that has endured over time in the collective memory of the community. In the heart of Mantilla Street, it is said that Mahan and María Encarnación lived a romance marked by passion and suffering. The precise details may vary, but the essence of the story suggests that their love faced insurmountable obstacles, which could have been jealousy, betrayal, or a curse that pursued them to their last breaths.


  • The legend of the decapitated priest of Marín in Don Sancho Street: Through the newspaper El Mercurio, it evokes a tragic and macabre event that has been etched into the community's memory. According to the narrative, the priest of Marín fell victim to a terrible fate when, under mysterious circumstances, he was decapitated in the middle of Don Sancho Street. The exact details of what happened may be dark and shrouded in mystery, but the legend suggests an act of violence that left an indelible mark on the fabric of local history.


  • The legend of the 7 infants in the San Diego neighborhood: It tells the story of a group of children who, under unknown circumstances, suffered a tragic and enigmatic fate. According to the narrative, these infants, whose names and backgrounds may vary depending on the version of the story, experienced some kind of tragedy that marked them forever. The exact circumstances of their fate and the reason behind it may be shrouded in mystery, but their memory persists in the streets and imagination of those who hear this ancient and evocative legend.


  • The tragic story of Miguel Quero in Cartagena de Indias: It recounts the life of a man tormented by misfortunes and tragedies in the alleys of the city. His existence was marked by losses and adversities, culminating in a fateful event that made him a figure remembered for human frailty and unexpected twists of fate.
