Restaurant
Seafood and fish, of course, make frequent appearances on menus, no matter the type of establishment. Santa Marta has a broad array of restaurants, from fine dining (less expensive than in El Rodadero) to cheap comida corriente joints. International sidewalk cafĂ©s line the Carrera 3 pedestrian mall, between Parque BolĂvar and Parque de los Novios.
All day stands at Calle 16 and Carrera 5 press fresh juices. Come sunset, vendors bloom along Avenida Bastidas (Carrera 1) and the camellón like a garden of night flowers scenting the air with cheese arepas, shish kabobs and other delights. Many restaurants along this stretch also begin serving—a wonderful way to close the day, dining and watching the sun set over the bay. For dessert buy a crema de arroz (rice with milk and coconut) from a peddler.
Santa Marta’s market sprawls between Avenidas del Libertador and del Ferrocarril, Calles 8 and 12. Centrally located supermarkets include Éxito (Carrera 5 and Calle 19) and OlĂmpica (Calle 11 8-54). Aguasafe water purifying drops can be bought at DroguerĂa Andina (Carrera 5 18-34) and other pharmacies along Carrera 5.
