    Pablo's Patch

    15 de dezembro de 2024, Colômbia ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    Today we were taken by our new guide, Pablo, into the home of another famous Pablo: District 13 (The epicentre of Medellin's dark past).
    Medellin is a thriving, colourful, living city with huge community support to make everything work and to make everything safe.
    The legacy of Pablo has left such devastation, yet he also single handedly paid off the national debt and funded the railway system. 60 bombings per year, 500 police killed per year, uncountable indiscriminate kidnappings and murders and 21 all out intra-city battles between the army and the cartels or guerrillas meant that this deal with the devil was clearly not worth it. Medellinites now, however, are desperate to move forward into what the city can be. They care for their trains, which are immaculate and safe, the youth have found a path through hip hop culture and the city is full of music, joggers and people eating on the streets. Bogota now looks boring.
