info on cali

Hi.

I was wondering if anyone knows if a metro (subway) or something like this is being built in Cali.
Another question: does anyone know how the "barrio Floralia" looks like? is it nice? any info on it? what "estrato" is it? do you know where I can find a cali map of its streets in the web?

Thank you in advance.

I don't think that Cali will have a metro. They are thinking of a transmilenio type of system, like Bogota's.

thanks Thank you for your replies and info.
Probably, they told me about a "MIO" (something like transmilenio) and I had understood a "metro" ;-)
I'll take a look.
Thank you for the map link, too.

Mio in Cali
Yes, Josergar. We finally are going to have a Masive Intregrade System of West-Occident(MIO), similar to transmiletio, as Gringoinbogota said. Gringo is right also about how to stablish a nice neighborhood in Bogota compared to Cali. In general the orient part of Cali is between barrios strata 2,3 and some 4. Floralia is a relative new barrio for work class (I guess strata 2). Is located in North Cali-yes, one more time, Gringo...

One tip for travelers looking friendship, salsa on December: ¿Would you like to find the real spirit of a calenian peple? rent a place(or visit) in a medium or lower stratas barrio. It's simple. There are a lots of them. Why not?

Màs fe, màs abrazos, màs besos, màs disculpas, màs visitas a nuestros amigos antiguos nos haràn màs plenos cada vez.
