Medellín - Centro

The city centre is very different to the typical squares we have seen. There aren't any colonial buildings and it's more of a commercial centre with many stores, plenty of locals rushing around and lots of noise.
It's not very secure after dark but throughout the day it's perfectly fine with the usual precautions taken.

We have walked through the centre and he shared many stories, happy and those not so happy. We wasn't afraid of any topic and explained anything we were interested in.
I think this deepened our understanding of the city and Colombia itself.Read more
