Independence of Cartagena

The phrase "Independence of Cartagena Nov 17" is a misunderstanding of the date for Cartagena's Independence Day, which is celebrated on November 11th, not November 17th. November 11, 1811, is the date when Cartagena declared itself the first fully independent and sovereign state in what is now Colombia. The celebrations for this event, called the Cartagena Independence Festival, take place throughout November.
