Describing your hometown

By: Mariana Montoya

My hometown is Medellín. Medellín is the capital of Antioquia, and it is an important city

of Colombia for its tourism and trade. Medellín is known for its climate, its food, the
culture and the friendliness of its habitants.
Medellín is a very diverse and cultural city. There are two important museums as: “Museo
de Arte Moderno” and “Museo de Antioquia”, and other place is “Parque Botero”
ubicated in the Medellín downtown that show important works of the artist Fernando
Botero. Other important places are: “Jardín Botánico” a place surrounded by nature,
“Parque Explora” an interactive science museum and “Parque Norte” an amusement park.
All these places mentioned are perfect to spend with friends or family.
Another important aspect is its good transportation system. The Medellín Metro connects
the entire city, also has a public bicycle system and this makes it a modern and ecological
city.
Medellín also has its negative aspects. Robberies are frequent crimes in the city, also
because of drug trafficking there is violence in the neighborhoods of Medellín. There is
also political corruption, and this causes a terrible health care system and poor budget
distributions for public universities.
I like my city, its climate, the variety of places to visit and the variety of restaurants. Before
quarantine, I liked to go to the "Parque Lleras" to enjoy parties with my friends. I like my
city, and I love its people, because they are so happy, solidary and hard-working.
