Medellin

The Euro-undertones are strong, from

the way the women dress to the way
people greet you in passing on the street
Medellin has a population of about 2
million. It is like a miniature version of
Buenos Aires, from its annual
International Tango Festival to its Botero
Museum.., the neighborhoods, parks,
downtown shopping areas, antique shops
and the arts and literary history in
Medellin all remind you of that very
European city way down at the bottom of
this continent
Medellin is impressively green, with
trees, plants and small gardens
everywhere. Its also remarkably clean. In
the central neighborhoods, you see no
litter.
Medellin is the second-largest city in
Colombia and is known as a major
industrial center for the country (main
products are textiles, coffee, and flowers).
It is also, though, a city of parks and
flowers, with interactive outdoor
museum-parks, where children can build
and experiment, run and play. Theres an
aquarium, an amusement park, delightful
botanical gardens, a planetarium, a
"barefoot park" with a Zen garden and
dozens of small parks and treed plazas, all
well-tended and even manicured
