10 September · Article · La Casa del Alimento, Medellín
A Colombian lunch is not one dish, it is a whole set for one price. Two mains, two desserts, two coffees and a lemonade came to 146,000 pesos. And in that restaurant's yard, beef hangs drying.
10 September · Article · Comuna 8, Villa Hermosa, Medellín
A house with almost no windows, hot rice pudding with cheese, and a slope full of lights right up to the ridge. And the only thing that made me uneasy was not what someone who has read about comuna 8 online would expect.
6 September · Article · Comuna 8, Villa Hermosa, Medellín
A tram on rubber tyres takes you from the centre to the edge of the city, and a cable car lifts you from there over the roofs of comuna 8. Back down there was an arepa festival, parakeets in a tree, a café in the house by the church, and a concert hall underground.
4 September · Article · Comuna 8, Villa Hermosa, Medellín
Comuna 8 up close, not from the cable car. A home cooked bandeja paisa with chicharrón, the brick church of La Sagrada Familia, stalls on the pavement, and traffic that runs on eye contact. On the way back, a stop among the villas of Prado.
