Grace lands in Cartagena, a perfectly preserved 17th-century port city on the Caribbean coast of Colombia. In the birthplace of Gabriel García Márquez's remarkable novels of "magical realism", Grace will discover the Caribbean flavors in the Colombian cuisine. Cartagena may not be the official capital of Colombia, but some would argue that it's the culinary capital. The local seafood and tropical fruits serve as the foundation for the cuisine, and the unique blend of cultural influences -- Spanish, African, and indigenous -- give it a special edge. From delicious juices to hearty fish dishes, this coastal city has earned its spot on the culinary map.
