El Poblado

To the south of Medellín, and to the east of the river, is the El Poblado district, the most preppy and touristy in the city. The one where the zona rosa is, the upscale nightlife area, where there are a lot of bars, restaurants, clubs, hotels and youth hostels. Pretty parks, too. The greater part of the Poblado is on the mountainside, a lush mountain full of flora and graceful flowers, that the streets of Poblado are running down the river.
