streets of cartagena

this is one of a parallel series of short alleys in san fernando street.............

now they are cul-de-sacs...........

in the past they gave access to el molinete hill.................a small hill in the city centre full of brothels and bars for sailors (all gone now)..............as a kid i was obsessed with that area of the city............it was dark.........lit just by the dim lights of the bars and brothers...........you could see them from outside that forbidden enclosure and i just wanted to walk up and see what it was............mum and dad said i was too little to go there...................

now el molinete hill is full or roman ruins.......a palace.........some roman baths............a grid of roman streets.............some of them have been excavated and can be seen................others lie underground..........waiting for money from the city hall to be dug out................

on the thumb this same alley in 2018..................
