Medellin is the capital of ANTIOQUIA.It's located in
Colombia. Medellin is recognized for its beautiful flowers; for that reason it
is called la ciudad de la eterna primavera. It is also known for the typical
food. Two wonderful tourist spots are highly recommended:
PUEBLITO PAISA: it’s a little town in Medellin that keeps the
traditions and typical food, he most famous, BANDEJA PAISA. It
contains: avocado, egg, ground meat, pork rind, spicy pork, beans and rice. This
little town is located on a hill known as CERRO NUTIBARA. It is a little
replica of what Medellin was like some years ago. To arrive here you can come
by car or walking through the footpath that is decorated with flowers like
ORCHIDS. At this town you can buy traditional sweets such as: brevas con
arequipe and rollo rojo. You can also buy the typical hat and poncho, representative
garments of Paisa culture. At the town there are many balconies from where you can
have a full view of the city.
PARQUE DE LOS PIES DESCALZOS: This amazing park is located on the plaza de
Medellin, it is designed to walk barefoot around the park. The park is near
to MEDELLIN RIVER this park has some
fountains to walk through them like: LA PUERTA URBANA. This is a 9 meters
altitude fountain. You can walk through the gardens. It also has sand spaces! so
you can make sand castles. There are
cafeterias and kioskos. During the year there are many concerts and events. At
night the puerta urbana is illuminated whit colorful lights. Catalina Nieto
You have chosen two important places for tourists and you use a sophisticated vocabulary suitable for an English speaking tourist. The Barefoot park is one of my favourite places in Colombia, it's a great place to stop and watch the world go by.
