Medellín: The Artist from the City of Eternal Spring

Medellín is found in the midst of the Andes mountains, in the Valle de Aburrá region in North Colombia. The geographical position and altitude have granted a rare climate that makes it seem as if the city were forever suspended in time. Medellín is, in fact, known as the “City of the Eternal Spring”, for the mild temperature never shifts significantly throughout the year.
Barrio Pablo Escobar
Medellín is truly a city of rebirth. It has experienced a phenomenal change in the past decades. It has managed to rebuild its image after being victim of Pablo Escobar’s Cartel. Medellín was once known as the most dangerous city in the World. However, today, the city has reclaimed its name and title, and remains an important city to visit when in Colombia.
Most importantly however, Medellín is also the city that birthed one of the most prominent and influential artists of Latin America.
