El Poblado isn’t just a neighborhood—it’s a vibe.
A place where the pulse of MedellÃn meets the golden kiss of the sun, where street art collides with the jungle, and where I spent an unforgettable day exploring, shooting, and soaking up every drop of that Colombian glow.
My day began where I feel most at home—in the sky.
The rooftop of my stay in El Poblado offered the perfect view of MedellÃn’s bold cityscape and surrounding mountains.
As the sun began its descent, the sky melted into dreamy blues and golds, wrapping the city in soft light.
 I wore a cropped grey vest with a plunging neckline and a pleated leather mini skirt—bold, flirty, and unapologetically fierce.
The wind played with my hair, the city stretched behind me, and every pose felt like a story waiting to be told.
There’s something about rooftop sunsets that makes you feel like you’re on top of the world—because, in that moment, you are.
Later, I wandered the streets of El Poblado. Its contrast is magnetic—graffiti-covered walls, towering trees, indie cafés, and locals with effortless style. I felt like I was walking through a movie set.
As the sunlight filtered through the leaves, I strolled past colorful murals and quiet cafés, letting the rhythm of the city guide me.
This outfit—with high-top Nike sneakers and layered silver jewelry—felt like a mix of rebel energy and street elegance.
From the graffiti-lined alleys to quiet plazas, every corner of El Poblado whispers creativity.
One of my favorite finds? A striking colonial-style door painted in deep reds, royal blues, and sunshine yellow.
It screamed Colombia. I couldn’t resist posing in front of it—its bold tones perfectly contrasting with my soft grey look.
It reminded me how MedellÃn holds space for both heritage and modern expression.
Just like this door, the city opens up to anyone willing to explore it.
