Robbed in Castropol / Poblano
I was walking down 43 A yesterday at 7 pm and had two young dudes walking the opposite direction suddenly pull out a gun, put it to my face, and rob me of my iphone, wallet, and headphones. I just kept my head down and handed everything over and they took off.
The police came to my airbnb and were very ashamed because when looking at the map. It was right next to the poblano police station. Maybe 200 meters from Parque poblano. Cops said they've never seen a time where robbers were so brazen.
Keep your head on a swivel! Or I guess don't walk alone at night. Obvio.
P.S. - anyone know where I can buy a cheap Iphone?

Just found out I booked my trip during La Feria de Las Flores
Does the flower festival affect the scene? Do more girls come to town or does it drive the prices up? Seems like a cool event if it happens this year so I'm looking forward to it.
Used iPhones I good shape

This place has good selection of iPhones and you pick the quality but you have to be back home I'm sure. You can check though but for now buy a cheap Chinese phone in Medellin. Back Market is the place. I've bought 2 1st gen SE's and am very happy. About $100 each a couple months ago, unlocked like new.
