Cartagena recently became the centre of attention – and magic – on the Costa Calida with the celebration of the 4th edition of the Cartagena es Magia International Festival. For three days, the city shone with performances from national and international magicians, brain-teasing escape room challenges, and widespread celebrations that embraced the magic of the city in one blowout festival.
A major international event that dazzled the city
Organised by the Cartagena City Council, the Cartagena es Magia International Festival is one of the most original springtime cultural events on the Costa, attracting hundreds of people to some of the city’s most iconic spaces including the El Batel Auditorium, the Town Hall Plaza, the Parque de los Juncos or the Ramón Alonso Luzzy Cultural Centre.
One of the most anticipated aspects of the event was the free magic performances and exhibitions in the streets of the city. Family shows and spectacular specialists took the spotlight in this year’s edition, including Antoñico Francés, who performed a family show in Parque de los Juncos; Héctor Sansegundo, who took to the stage in Plaza del Icue; and Kachinocheve, winner of the National Prize for Comedy Magic, who performed in the lobby of the Ramón Alonso Luzzy Cultural Centre.
