Här i Cartagena kommer man utan tvekan se dessa kvinnor som säljer frukt med färgglada dräkter.
Dessa Palanquera-fruktförsäljare har blivit ikoniska i staden och erbjuder några av de saftigaste förfriskningarna dag och natt. Dessa kvinnor har en mycket viktigare plats i Cartagenas historia - och Colombia som helhet - än som bara turistattraktioner. Faktum är att dessa Palenquera-fruktförsäljare är en symbol för styrkan i den mänskliga viljan, i kampen mot förtryck och den mänskliga andens motståndskraft. #palenquera #palenquerawomen #cartagena #palenquerafruitseller #liveinthemoment #makeitcount #ilovecartagena❤️
The story of the Palenquera is a beautiful one.💕
.
These African people embraced trade as a way to earn a living, carve out a place for themselves within Cartagena, and maintain their community’s vibrant cultural life.✨ The women from these outlying communities brought fresh fruit and produce they harvested from the jungle to Cartagena each day and sold it for goods and currency they would then take back to their families.👪
.
They still do this today and the fruits are just a a reminder of how sweet the culture is down in Colombia.🍉

Palenque!!... a part of Colombia you probably never heard of or rarely hear being spoke of.
Small town north of Cartagena full of beautiful African cultured people where their ancestors were slaves and this was the first place of freedom for the slaves!
Loved walking through the town!
Loved stopping and dancing with the people!💙❤️💛
