Popayan, Colombia

Popayan also known as the city of white is known for its historic colonial center painted in all white. It's small windy streets, many churches, and bustling town square all make it quite a charming place to be.

I arrived on a Tuesday in the late afternoon and wound up walking around and eventually sitting at a bar called El Sotareño which has been around about 55 years, is still run by the owner Augustine and still has a wall of salsa, tango and other Latin records which played through the night.

I met a group of girls at the bar who ended up showing me around the town the next days and bringing me to eat the best food, dance at the coolest club, and enjoy most of what the small town has to offer.Weiterlesen
