Answer to edition 498
The only remarkable characteristic is that this city appears to be predominantly white buildings. The prominence of white buildings usually indicates somewhere hot as white reflects the heat and keeps buildings cool. The water would indicate it is beside the sea or a large lake.
Those two clues narrow it down a little but then it is a bit of research online if you don’t recognise the city. It is the Colombian port city of Cartagena.
