Among the towns of the Magdalena Province, there are stories, thousands of them in silence, perhaps as the Colombian literary Nobel would say: you have to live to tell it, this tour evokes the literary world of Gabriel García Márquez, making a journey through his real and imaginary history captured in books, all through the recognition of the two cities that most influenced his writings: Aracataca and Ciénaga, Capital of the Magical Realism.
