Medellín with La Candelaria

View from the Metrocable station Trece de Noviembre across the Aburrá Valley in W direction. Due to its mild climate all year round, Medellín is known as the city of eternal spring whereas the national capital Bogotá, located at higher elevation, is just called the "fridge". Downtown Medellín, with various skyscrapers constructed in the second half of the 20th Century, can be seen in the centre of the image. Later, this area has experienced some decline, with many services shifting in S direction towards El Poblado.
