El Cerro de la Popa
View of the Santa Cruz de Manga Islands, Boca Grande and Castillo Grande and Tierra Bomba seen from Cerro de la Popa. Cartagena de Indias, Colombia.
In the neighborhood of Manga, where I use to pass my childhood is located the Fort of Pastelillo, named that way for its shape of a Cake. From the Cerro of la Popa, you can appreciate a impressive view of The Walled Centro of the city, and the Islands of Manga and Tierra Bomba with the walls under the water to avoid the entry of enemies by boats or ships.

The Spanish Sentence
Spanish Grammar: The Spanish Sentence
The Spanish Sentence — Defined
Basics
A sentence is a group of words expressing a complete thought. It has two parts: the subject (noun or pronoun) and its modifiers, and the predicate (verb) and its modifiers.
The subject is that part about which something is said, and the predicate tells that which is said about the subject. The subject is broken up into the subject word and its modifiers, and the predicate is broken up into the predicate word and its modifiers.
The black horse / runs a beautiful race. "The black horse" is the complete subject, "horse" being the subject word modified by the adjectives "the" and "black." "Runs a beautiful race" is the complete predicate, "runs" being the predicate word modified by the phrase "a beautiful race."
Types of Sentences
In both English and Spanish, sentences are classified, according to use, as declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory.
A DECLARATIVE SENTENCE makes a statement.
John is a good student.
An INTERROGATIVE SENTENCE asks a question.
Has the mailman arrived yet?
An IMPERATIVE SENTENCE states a request or command.
Come back in about an hour.
An EXCLAMATORY SENTENCE expresses strong feeling or emotion.
How pretty she is!
En Español la oración esta compuesta básicamente por el Sujeto y el Predicado.
El sujeto es de quien se habla en la oración, y el Predicado es lo que se dice o explica del sujeto.
Si usted tiene más preguntas o dudas con gusto le puedo responder.
If you have questions or doubts I will be pleased to answer.

This is the heart of Cartagena, the old walled city protected by the fortress intended to protect the city from pirates and storms. Within the walls, there are colonial buildings, plazas, churches and convents. Accommodations and restaurants within this area, called El Centro, highlight their colonial origins. Also within the walled area, the section of Getsemani is less expensive, but worth a daytime stroll..
