It’s generally accepted that it’s poor form to generalise, but, sometimes, some unscrupulous bloggers can’t help themselves. Don’t be alarmed, though: if you know me at all by now, you should realise how many scruples I’m the proud owner of, and would never stoop to such crass, unfair, and reductive tricks. So, here I lay […]

Whew! We`re back. Last week, my trusty assistant and boss, Azzam, and I were travelling around Antioquia, and we’ve experienced so many stories whilst doing so that we thought it best to devote an entire week to the pleasures available around Medellìn, which was already one of our favourite cities in Colombia (even if we […]

–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– The beaches may be crazy, but what Colombia´s major cities seem to be crazy about is their malls. Even though these centres of commerce are rather liberally dispersed throughout each metropolis and reach frankly titanic proportions, you´ll still find them absolutely choc-a-bloc any given Saturday.

Last week I published a post on Colombian foods I’ve tried not to hate, in which I mentioned that I don’t like Lulo. This in itself was met with a strong reaction by Colombia’s fruit lovers, but perhaps more shocking was the revelation that I had once paid $80.000 pesos for a jug of lulada […]
