Palatinum Golf Spa and Sport Resort’s Must Visit Locations
Must Visit City:
Cartagena: Located on the coast, this city has a rich historical heritage and has been strategically important for centuries. It is recommended that you take a stroll along the Calle Mayor until you get to the seafront, passing the Grand Consistorial Palace on your way. While in Cartagena also be sure to stroll through the remarkable parks and plazas, learn the history of the area in the local museums, and enjoy the area’s culinary specialties in one of the many restaurants or cafés.
Must Visit Colony:
Caravaca de la Cruz: This is one of the most interesting villages in the province. Be sure to visit the medieval neighborhood, the colony’s castle, its churches, the Sanctuary and the museums in the area.
Caravaca de la Cruz is the Fifth Holy City of Catholic Christianity, having been granted the privilege to celebrate the jubilee year in perpetuity in 1998 by the then Pope John Paul II, along with Rome, Jerusalem, Santiago de Compostela and Monastery of Santo Toribio de Liébana. It celebrates its jubilee every seven years; the first being in 2003, when it was visited by the then Cardinal Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI. It celebrated its second jubilee this year, in 2010.
Must Visit Beach:
Mar Menor: This naturally formed, warm water lagoon is one of the best places in Europe to learn all kinds of water sports. Whatever you want to do, you can do it here - swimming, scuba-diving, water-skiing, wind-surfing, kite-surfing, sailing – the list is endless. The Mar Menor is separated from the Mediterranean by a narrow strip of land know as La Manga.
Must Visit Tourist Location:
Cathedral de Murcia: This Cathedral was created in 1394 on the site of a former mosque and has many Renaissance and Baroque elements, although its interior is fundamentally Gothic. Inside the Cathedral, you’ll discover an abundance of gold and more ornate embellishments hidden in this sacred spot.
It features a 302 foot tower whose construction was started in 1519 and took more than two hundred years to build with the involvement of many different architects. Visitors can climb the tower where they can marvel at the spectacular views of the city and further.

Caracola Beach and Spa Resort’s Location is the Best....
Best Place to Catch a Sunset:
There is almost nothing better than watching a spectacular sunset while on vacation, and Isla Margarita is said to have some of the most stunning! The best place to catch one of these sunsets is around the town of Juangriego, which offers both the best sunset location and the best view of the sunset. To see one of these spectacular, colorful Caribbean sunsets, check out Bahia de la Galera Beach. This beach is located in a calm bay with miles of white sand.
Best Place to Look for a Handcrafted Souvenir:
The first place worth checking out is El Cercado. This is a remote town where most of the people are dedicated to handicraft manufacturing. El Cercado gives you the chance to buy the product directly from the supplier. Plus, you may be able to experience watching how it was made!
The second place to check out is Tacarigua. This town has kept its traditional handicraft stalls, which are lined along a paved road that crosses the center of the village. Tacarigua offers handicrafts, including: baskets, hats, sandals, ceramics, leather belts, folklore instruments and the best quality hammocks ever made in Venezuela.
Best Location for Shopping:
One of the best shopping locations is Guevara’s Boulevard, which offers a great variety of goods at reasonable prices. Stores line this boulevard as it extends to meet the Old Porlamar’s Harbor Side Market. Historically, this was the area where locals came to sell their goods, and others, to buy them. Watermelons, live animals, salt, and fresh, live fish, were sold in every conceivable corner. Stalls even extended onto the water where fish caught on that day was sold faster and at higher prices. Guevara’s Boulevard is located to the south of Bolivar Square.
Another great shopping location is 4 de Mayo, which is the city’s main avenue. 4 de Mayo (May 4th) was named after Margarita’s liberation from the Spanish which took place on this date. The fanciest and more expensive stores are located here, selling duty free, imported goods from all over world.
Best Location for Sightseeing:
Romulo Gallegos Pathway is a great sightseeing location which provides visitors with a nice place to walk close to the sea and to admire the colorful scenery. It is recommended to walk during daylight hours to get the most out of the area. This pathway begins in the Old Market and follows around the Guaraguao Coast until reaching Bella Vista Beach, with wooden fishing boats moored along its bay.
Bella Vista Beach is another great sightseeing location and offers a beautiful forest of palm trees. The beach here is almost a mile long and located on a calm bay. The water is not very deep here and the sand is very soft, making it perfect for families. This beach also has many services available.
Another great sightseeing location is La Caracola Beach in Porlamar. It is also Porlamar’s longest beach at about 2 miles long. This beach is mostly used by the guests staying at the group of hotels and resorts located right in front of it. To the southern end, there is a lagoon and a sand pit that separates it from the sea. You can drive along the beach on the coastal paved road, which takes you parallel to the sea at a distance of about 300 feet. There is strong surf and little shade here, but the breeze is very refreshing and the sea view is spectacular. You can also admire a small island on the horizon called El Farayon.
