Cartagena has been one of the most important cities in Colombia since its founding in the 16th century and, at certain times, competed with Bogota for political power. A city, founded by Spanish conquerors, that endured the harassment of privateers and pirates. Their attacks made it to build a walled city. Its fortified structure gives the current identity to this coastal city and acts as a magnet for international tourism. This book also talks about the bloody price that Cartagena had to pay during the war of independence for its strategic location and its desire to emancipate from Spainish Empire.

OVER A CENTURY OF PEACE HAS FREED Cartagena from its ever-present fear of military attack. Today, its ramparts are picturesque reminders of bygone days; and the presence of the Colombian naval fleet no more than an adornment to a pleasant setting. In Colonial times Cartageneros had a different perception: they lived for over two hundred years under protection of stone structures laid out to discourage the enemy, and for them, the city’s defenses were much more than a quaint sight. Spanish officials and merchants, clergymen and artisans, and even slaves, knew too well that fortresses correctly designed, solidly built, wisely equipped and, of course, well defended were essential for protection of life, honor and property.

This is a story inspired by true facts, although some names are fictitious, the account of sea battles and historical events that molded the northern part of the South American continent are rigorously true. The history of Cartagena, the Spanish and English confrontations, the pirates, the department of El Choc�, the Atrato River and the historic facts about the Darien are also true. Also, I tried to maintain my equanimity in all which is narrated here. The amazing story of Blas de Lezo and Olavarrieta, the most courageous sea captain of all times is also told here with numerous details in order to prove his bravery during the site of Cartagena. The monstrous defeat suffered by Admiral Vernon in 1741 when he attacked the city and humiliated England to its most, was researched with the utmost care and described here with respect as a lesson of bravery and fairness.No one, absolutely no one has more courage and is not bigger as a warrior of the sea than Blas de Lezo and Olavarrieta, born in Pasajes, on February 3, 1689 - in Guip�zcoa - in Euskera -, which is a Spanish province and historical territory of the autonomous community of the Basque Country-, and died in Cartagena de Indias, in Nueva Granada, on September 7, 1741, just under 4 months after the Cartagena site was completed, with 52 years of age. He did not die from any of his injuries but was defeated by the plague that was generated with the decomposed bodies of thousands of mostly English bodies and mercenaries hooked by Admiral Vernon in Jamaica.
