LIBRARY "EPM"

The Biblioteca EPM was built as a recovery project in 2005 to rebuild the highly deteriorated Plaza de Cisneros.While the architecture is interesting, with a pond and large wooden terrace, as well as modern furniture and clean lines, for me the most exciting feature is the silence.

Almost every office, store, and apartment I have been in has paper-thin walls, and you can hear the ants walking across the street.  But, once you step into this glass-windowed library, it’s as if you’re entering a vacuum.  Biblioteca EPM is a safe haven, inside a very central part of the city.

LLERAS PARK

Parque Lleras is the heart of Medellin’s Zona Rosa in the upscale Poblado neighborhood.
The safest and most obvious choice for nightlife in Medellin is the area surrounding Parque Lleras.
Block after block is packed with bars, clubs and restaurants and the streets and park itself are filled with partiers Thursday – Saturday.

This is a playground for Medellin’s upper crust.
