Travel Tips 4 Feria de las Flores!

In this days, Medellin will be crowded because of the Feria, my tips are about the kind of clothes that you must bring to our city, because yes, Medellín is a hot city, but usually it rains a few times per week, also Santa Elena, the little town where the silletas (got no translation for this, but are those big things made of flowers that people carry on their back on a parade) are made is a town up in the mountains that surround medellin, and up there is cold, so bring sweater and scarf cuz maybe you will need them. Stop thinking that medellin is unsafe, and come to see tons of cops everywhere taking care of you, come see and get inlove with my place!
