María León stars in Ibsen's classic 'Casa de muñecas' (A Doll's House) at the El Batel auditorium.
Calle Mayor & town centre, Cartagena
Cartagena's Christmas season — the lights switch-on, a Christmas market and family activities around Calle Mayor and the port, running through to Three Kings. Opening night confirmed nearer the date.
The Three Kings parade on the eve of Epiphany — floats, music and sweets through the centre of Cartagena. The big family night of the Spanish Christmas.
Cartagena's Holy Week — a Festival of International Tourist Interest, famous for its strikingly ordered, military-precision processions of the rival brotherhoods (Californios and Marrajos), with lavish silverwork and thousands of penitents.
Cartagena's acclaimed international world-music festival — dozens of concerts across the city and the old town, many of them free, each edition built around a guest country. Exact dates confirmed nearer the time.
