For those watching their waistline or dental health, we apologise in advance, but this sweet spot is a must-visit in Cartagena. What used to be a place tied to the slave trade during colonial times is now a lively spot where locals and visitors indulge in the finest sweet treats the Caribbean has to offer. It’s tough to pick just one treat from the array of fruits, caramels, chocolates, and other sweets that fill the air with irresistible scents. To help you savour this experience, here are four delicious options. First up, we have cubanitos and cocadas, two pastries made with coconut or guava, cinnamon, and the key ingredient, sugar. If you’re after something different, try the little dolls filled with milk jam or tamarind balls made from fruit pulp and, you guessed it, sugar. Treating yourself is about satisfying that craving, so go ahead, and indulge!
