English to Spanish: Smart Cities: Medellín, Colombia Detailed field: Tourism & Travel
Source text - English Medellín is Colombia’s second largest city and has been creatively shaking off the damage left from the eighties’ drug wars in a cultural renaissance. Medellín’s improvements started with a sophisticated transit system praised worldwide, which features rapid buses, railways, and soaring gondolas that service mountainside neighborhoods. In 2014, the city launched Distrito de Innovación to foster innovation and the growth of tech, health, and energy industries. And in August 2016, the city debuted the first phase of a beltway project, Parques del Río, meant to reclaim Medellín’s river through green spaces and trails built over existing highways. Locals recognize Medellín isn’t a perfect city. It’s a city in progress, and that’s exactly why they love it.

MARKET DAYS
Last fall, Mercado del Río opened as the first food hall in the country. The space honors the city’s ferrocarril (or railroad) heritage through its design, as well as the rising artisan movement in its lineup of coffee slingers, sushi makers, and paella mixers. In an effort to democratize dining out, the market regulates what vendors charge, and beer and wine are sold at prices akin to supermarkets ($1 glasses of wine). La Chagra, in the El Poblado district, highlights the flavors of the Amazon and the traditions of the jungle’s indigenous culture, from Amazonian fruits and veggies to a sauce made using leaf-cutter ants.
STAY
SMALL HOTELS WITH BIG IDEAS
Centrally located Patio del Mundo offers seven individually decorated rooms, each themed to a different dreamy destination, in a refurbished house with a lush backyard garden. Designed by a local architect, Terra Biohotel was built top to bottom on the notion of preservation and sustainability. The 41-room inn features a micro-perforated wall that cools the 10-story building by using mountain winds from the north, as well as room layouts configured to receive as much natural light as possible, with many building materials sourced close to home.
Translation - Spanish Medellín es la segunda ciudad más grande de Colombia y ha estado liberándose de manera creativa del daño ocasionado por las guerras de narcotráfico de los ochenta a través de un renacimiento cultural.
Las mejoras de Medellín comenzaron con un sistema de transporte sofisticado y elogiado en todo el mundo, que cuenta con autobuses rápidos, vías ferroviarias y teleféricos que brindan servicio a los vecindarios de la montaña. En 2014, la ciudad lanzó el Distrito de Innovación para fomentar la innovación y el crecimiento de las industrias de tecnología, salud y energía. Además, en agosto de 2016, la ciudad inauguró la primera fase de un proyecto de circunvalación, Parques del Río, destinado a recuperar el río de Medellín a través de espacios verdes y senderos construidos sobre las autopistas existentes. Los lugareños reconocen que Medellín no es una ciudad perfecta, es una ciudad en progreso y es por eso que les gusta.
¿DÓNDE COMER?
DÍAS DE MERCADO
El otoño pasado, Mercado del Río se estrenó como el primer mercado culinario del país. El espacio honra la herencia del ferrocarril (o tren) de la ciudad a través de su diseño, así como el movimiento artesanal en su oferta de café, sushi y paella. En un esfuerzo por democratizar la comida, el mercado regula lo que los vendedores cobran. La cerveza y el vino se venden a precios similares a los de los supermercados ($ 1 por copa de vino). La Chagra, en la zona de El Poblado, destaca los sabores del Amazonas y las tradiciones de la cultura indígena de la selva, desde frutas y verduras amazónicas hasta una salsa hecha con hormigas cortadoras de hojas.
¿DÓNDE HOSPEDARSE?
PEQUEÑOS HOTELES, GRANDES IDEAS
El Patio del Mundo, ubicado en una zona céntrica, ofrece siete habitaciones decoradas de forma individual, cada una con una temática de un destino de ensueño diferente, en una casa reformada con un exuberante jardín trasero. Diseñado por un arquitecto local, Terra Biohotel se construyó de arriba a abajo sobre la noción de preservación y sostenibilidad. Este hotel de 41 habitaciones cuenta con una pared microperforada que enfría el edificio de 10 pisos utilizando vientos montañosos provenientes del norte. Además, sus habitaciones están diseñadas para recibir tanta luz natural como sea posible, con muchos materiales de construcción que se obtienen cerca de casa.
