A Medellin Landing Neighborhood for Expats!
Astorga, nestled in the heart of Medellin's upscale El Poblado district, offers a unique blend of tranquility and vibrancy. Once primarily residential, this charming neighborhood has blossomed into a sought-after destination, boasting a burgeoning boutique and restaurant scene that rivals nearby Provenza. In my opinion, this makes Astorga a great place to land when you’re coming to Medellin thinking of relocating to the city. It's an ideal base for first-time visitors, offering an array of stylish boutique hotels, including the renowned Cielo, alongside a diverse selection of fine dining establishments, cafes, and trendy boutiques. Food enthusiasts will delight in the culinary offerings, while those seeking a more relaxed atmosphere can explore the numerous cafes and trendy boutiques that dot the streets. Astorga's appeal extends beyond its gastronomic and commercial offerings, as it is home to two picturesque parks: Parque Poblado and Parque de la Bailarina. These green oases provide a welcome respite from the city's bustle, offering serene spaces for leisurely strolls or simply unwinding amidst nature. Parque de la Bailarina, in particular, rewards visitors with breathtaking panoramic views of Medellin. Today, Astorga stands as a testament to Medellin's dynamic evolution, seamlessly blending its historical charm with a modern, cosmopolitan vibe.
