I remember the people of the city and the person who loves me. I remember also the food of my grandmother, she prepared it for the children with the oil of Love.

I go out from the “Jardín Botánico” to enter into the chaos of the city, I see a child who is asking for money in the streets, I take the subway until “Caribe” station, and then take a bus to “Guatapé”. I am in silence as a ghost. I watch the lake. I go upstairs until the top of the big “piedra”. I see the colors of the white clouds and the blue sky.

La piedra in my feet, and wrinkles in it, because the time that did it every day more Beautiful.

It is intellectual and dreamy, hard and tough, but cheerful and enthusiastic, breathes and vibrates with the passion of being Colombia, and of course its capital, is a wonderful people mixture from natives and ‘calentanos’ that each contributes to give a little more personality to a city with so many millions of people, which could be perceived as cold and made from concrete, which are two of their physical characteristics to be cold because Bogotá is at 2600 meters above sea level in the mountains and as concrete and brick are construction materials choice.

Bogotá… I love the people who live there, yes we are mostly Colombians, but many foreigners also in love with the place in completly opossited their own ‘normality’. Is not a secret that as all cities and especially large cities, Bogota also has its dark side, disorganized and chaotic, so you have to stay on the side of the street that is better light, to continue exploring it goes quiet.

All neighborhoods of Bogotá have different characteristics and there are areas to be neighborhoods that define the type of activity that takes place there, everyone knows that. If someone wants or has to do with leather industry, you probably have a business in 7 de agosto; the 13th Street means electric or for wool or cloth 53rd Street. Kennedy, Fontibón and Usaquén at a time and soon as Chía, were urban areas away from the city, but as this has grown so much already part of it swelling their ranks increasing its variety and its problems.

Bogotá I love it! I like Bogotá because it is lovely, social, cultural, democrat, green architecture, tastefully, with different styles and with different opportunities and possibilities according to the tastes, age and budget. It is working and pitch forward, is friendly and familiar, is respectful, is Catholic, Apostolic and Roman but Jewish, Moorish, Arabic, Asian, Japanese, French and German and ‘gringa’. Bogotá is cosmopolitan. Bogotá is trendy. It’s bohemian, is mestizo, is intelligent, is recursive, is Creole, is ambitious oligarch, makes war on the penny, and achieved very little waste of joy and generosity. Bogotá is a friendly and welcoming, traditional, authentic and delicious like santafereño’s chocolate with a tamale or arepa.

A year ago, I landed in Cartagena.  I visited it several times before, and each time I fell in love more and more with a chaotic, but magical city.  The weather, the history, the beach, the cultural events… There are so many things to do, so many places to visit that every time you find yourself busy doing something.

Cartagena is a city that changes according to the point of view: you can find  the modern architecture and fast life of big cities, the vintage and romantic environment in the old city, the beaches full of beautiful people and activities to do.  In here is always summer and the party keeps going all day long.

The beaches you can visit are: Castillogrande, Bocagrande, Marbella, La Boquilla and Manzanillo. My favorite beach is the one near La Boquilla: it’s wide and a lot of sports can be practiced in there: soccer, volleyball, water sports, etcetera.

The old city is a place to know it by walking or riding bicycle, you can’t go there in a hurry.  Every alley, every house, every balcony that gives to you the impression that all the past and the present are gathered there.  Some places to visit in the old city are Fidel—a salsa bar—, San Diego plaza that is near Sofitel Santa Clara hotel and Juan del Mar restaurant, Santo Domingo Plaza where you can eat and drink in a very romantic environment, Fernandez Madrid plaza where you can find delicious food and know the place where “Love in cholera’s time” book took place, San Pedro plaza where the museum of modern art is located, the customs plaza where is located the major office and Hard Rock Cafe, the army museum, the Adolfo Mejia house and teather (famous musician), Gabriel García house, the Bolivar park where is located the Inquisition palace, and walk along the walls and watch the sun die in the sea and maybe drink something in the bulwarks.

Other places to visit that are in the city: San Felipe’s castle, India Catalina statue and plaza, ols shoes statue, Popa’s hill, Portuary Society’s deck, Manga neighborhood, Crespo neighborhood, Getsemaní neighborhood full of hostels, restaurants and bars.

The nightlife is as much as busy as the daylife: there are places for every taste.  Fragma, Fidel, Bazurto Social Club, Café del Mar, Via tapas, Mister Babilla are some of the famous places to visit.  There are several restaurants to visit, with all kind of types of food, but the best is to taste the local flavor: Narcobollo, la casa de socorro and la mulata cartagenera are some of the famous.

For this and all the amazing things I found everyday is why I fell in love with this crazy and agitated city.
