A little background
a Azohía is an old fishing village located on the west coast of the municipality of Cartagena, next to the Cabo Tiñoso Regional Park, featuring a traditional tuna trap and a 16th-century defensive tower (Torre de Santa Elena). Its moderate growth as a tourist destination over the past few decades has helped preserve its seaside atmosphere and led to the creation of the La Azohía Summer Market as a small seasonal market.
Regulated by the Cartagena City Council, the La Azohía Summer Market takes place during the high season and has become one of the most popular summer market events in the Cabo Tiñoso area.
