The study of patterns of urban mobility is of utter importance for city growth projection and development planning. In this paper, we analize the topological aspects of the stret network of the coastal city of Cartagena de Indias employing graph theory and spatial sintax tools. We find that the resulting network can be understood on the basis of 400 years of the city´s history and its periphal location that strongly influenced and shaped the growth of the city, and that the statistical properties of the network resemble those of self-organized cities.
