Medellín is possibly best known for the cocaine cartel of the same name run by Pablo Escobar, but that is now all history.

It is an extremely attractive town which serves as the industrial and commercial centre for the surrounding region of Antioquia. With roughly two million inhabitants, it is Colombia's second city.

The city is know as the 'Cityof Eternal Spring' due to its mild climate all year long.

Although most of the colonial architecture no longer remains, the churches in the center of town are worth a vist. The Basilica de la Candelaria is one of the most popular.
