Street food arepas in the Old City
Street vendors are everywhere in Cartagena, selling everything from sunglasses to fresh fruits, but for a breakfast bite you can’t get anything better than the arepas of Elaine Gomez Lozano. Set up on the corner of Carrera 11 and Calle 38, Elaine sells her handmade arepas every morning, catering to locals and tourists alike. Each arepa will cost you no more than £1 and they come with cheese, meat and tomato toppings. This delicious food will certainly keep you full until lunch – try it and eat like a local.
