My Country
Medellín y Su Gente
Por: Leticia Naranjo Arias Antioquia es uno de los departamento más prosperos de Columbia, su capital es Medellín, ciudad a la que se le ha llamado "La ciudad de la eterna primavera." Es linda, verde, agradable, todo le luce, su clima es espectacular. Su gente es lo mejor que tiene, emprendedora, o como decimos allí, "gente echada pa' adelante," acogedora, hospitalarios, es decir, muy amable. A las personas de esta región se nos llaman "Los Paisas," y donde quiera que vayamos nos reconocen y nos destacan por nuestras habilidades. Cualquiera persona que llega a Medellín del resto del país, bien sea a estudiar, trabajar, o de paseo, se amaña, cuando les toca regresar o cambiar de ciudad. Los he visto llorar. Medellín! Cuanto te extraño!
