CHARMING PLACES

I am so glad that I found this lovely and lonely place to take a break when I’m stressed. This charming place is in Santa Cruz near the port and it is quite relaxing to go there while you’re listening to music or even if you only want to listen the waves crashing on the sea wall. Definitely the best moment of the day to go there is when the sunset starts and then came at night because this place at night equally helps me to calm down.

From the first moment that we could go out to do sports, I decided to discover new places near my area, and here is my favorite by far. I have always loved the sea and its calm, and here I feel that freedom that it gives me. Almost every day I usually go on my bike to see the sunrise and stay a while longer. Some days with my headphones and others being the sound of the waves the music. Definitely, it is my charming place, to relax or to hang out. It is the perfect place.

Someone suggested me that before speaking about a country I should have lived in it for at least six months and nothing more true. I had heard of Medellin before I travelled to Colombia. I knew the city  was rather dangerous and that it was mainly known as the city of drug traffic, where everyone was armed and where it would be very easy for a stray bullet to cross my path, but I soon realized things weren’t like that. Due to a twist of fate, I ended up with my bones in the city of eternal spring (that’s what they call it). Now I can tell you that nothing to do with reality because one thing is what they tell you and another very different is how things really are. Medellin is a beautiful city with friendly people and the breathtaking view of lake Guatapé is one of my best memories that I will always keep in my heart. Carlos Sadarangani Rodríguez.  B2.2A
