In response to our discussion this evening on where exactly Love in the Time of Cholera is set, I think the city is based on Cartagena and Baranquilla, cities on the Colombian carribean coast. As for the river Magdalena, it's the river that has its mouth on this coast and comes from the south. Attached is a photo of a boat I saw last year on the river Magdalena, from which you can make up your own minds as to whether you think the boats have changed much in the last century.
Regards,
Clare
