5 thoughts on “Pros and Cons of El Poblado: A Popular Neighborhood for Expats in Medellín”
Thanks for the interesting article. I agree there are some big downsides to el poblado,
El Poblado is overrated, overpriced and hilly. Why come to Colombia and live in Westernized El Poblado. I did not come to Colombia for Pizza Hut, Burger King, Hooters, Dominos, KFC, MDonalds, Starbucks, Papa Johns and Subway.
I agree with you. I did not come to Colombia for all that U.S. fast food, I prefer the local menu of the day at the local restaurants where I live in Laureles. It took me less than a week to decide I did not like El Poblado and I now avoid going there. El Poblado has horrible traffic and is overpriced.
Provenza is east of Parque Lleras, not west as mentioned in the article.
Thanks for catching that, corrected and added is up-hill from Parque Lleras.
