Street Vendors
Very characteristic of Cartagena are butifarras (small smoked meatballs), only sold on the street by butifarreros, who walk along with big pots, striking them with a knife to get your attention. The peto is a sort of milk soup made of maize, similar to Antioquian mazamorra, sweetened with panela (unrefined sugar) and served hot. It, too, is only sold by street vendors.
