Laureles is one of the most upmarket neighbourhoods in Medellín, perhaps second only to El Poblado.
Set at a slightly lower altitude than El Poblado, Laureles is often noticeably warmer. Unlike El Poblado, it is also predominantly flat with plenty of sidewalks, although arguably less green.
Although it doesn't have a metro station, Laureles is well served by public transport. And despite a swarm of high rise condos and upmarket supermarkets, Laureles has many cheap restaurants and cafes.
Laureles's nightlife centres around Calle 33 (La 33), which in recent years has become increasingly expensive and a little scarce of people as a result. |
