The Bazurto Market (Mercado de Bazurto) is the central public market in Cartagena. It is located about 4 kilometers outside the historic Old Town and is considered the "beating heart" of local life, far from the typical tourist areas.
The market is a huge, labyrinthine area known for its intensity.
Practically everything is sold here
from exotic fruits like guanabana and mangoes to freshly caught fish and meat, to clothing, electronics, and hand-painted posters.
It is loud, chaotic, often
dirty, and full of intense smells (especially in the fish sector).
