‘It is written in English, but its heart is French’

The large-format, international travel and style review that lets us imagine the holidays of our dreams. Relaunched by Paris-based creative director Franck Durand in 2014 after a 37-year hiatus, Holiday is a modern classic built on its fifties heyday. This 397th issue is an ode to the Colombian city of Cartagena de Indias, lovingly known as ‘La Heroica’ (The Heroic City) and celebrated for its UNESCO-listed walled old town and colonial architecture.

The issue follows in the footsteps of Nobel-Prize winning author Gabriel García Márquez—‘Gabo’—who chronicles this ‘galleon in the jungle’ in One Hundred Years of Solitude. Inside, you’ll find an excerpt of the moment Gabo arrives in Cartagena from his autobiography, a city which ‘would play a cardinal role in his life’, and an interview with Gabo’s son about his family’s relationship with the city. Elsewhere, you’ll find a list of ‘30 Reasons To Go To Cartagena’ from an assortment of in-the-know Cartageneros, a 48-page photoshoot capturing La Heroica and its locals, and a brief history of Cartagena’s Historical Museum eerily housed in a building that long served as the seat of the local Inquisition.
