UNIT 6 – AROUND TOWN

Reading activity: Exploring : the City of Eternal Spring

Medellin truly is a city to experience with all your senses as there are many reasons
that make it a premier tourist destination in South America. Known as the City of
Eternal Spring, the city enjoys year-round spring-like weather and temperatures in
addition to being a warm and rich cultural center. The city is also hometown to
many world renowned artists, painters and sculptures including Fernando Botero,
whose works grace many parks and plazas around the city. Located in the beautiful
Aburra Valley, the city is truly a gem to behold that is cradled on all sides by lush
green, tropical mountains in a setting that can only be described as paradise. But, it
is probably the local people that live in Medellin (paisas) that truly make the city
spectacular! Renowned for their warm, courteous and friendly attitudes, “Paisas”
really know how to make visitors & travelers alike feel right at home when visiting
Medellin!
