Good Old Medallo, Never Change
[QUOTE=AdamWl;2878373]On a related note, I had a chat over a pony malta with centro SW recently that quoted me "50 mil y todo que quieres", said she works Poblado in the evenings, had a guy pay her 200 usd for un rato recently, normally she charges 300 mil there, bragged how she had 4 gringo boyfriends sending her money (where is all that cash gone now I wondered), one renting apartment for her, another older one offering to have baby with her but was infertile so wanted to buy a sperm first (biazzare), then she showed me her FB profile with photos that look 5 x better than her in a real life, to the point I was wondering if it's even her (make up and filters are no joke) and also said she wants to go to Spain to work at some point and then offered to share some tussi with me (no thanks).[/QUOTE]I have a bridge to sell you if you think she was telling you the truth. I know colombiana putas aren't the brightest tool in the shed, but no one who is already pulling that kind of bread elsewhere would go hooking for 13 usd "todo que quieres". I'm sure that's what she told you, but something ain't adding up. What's more likely is she's hard up for money without a steady source of income and she's unable / unwilling to find gainful employment so she sells her body in the streets for local market value, possibly to support a baby daddy and / or drug addiction.
[QUOTE=MaddTraveler;2878215]8/10 chicas you see walking around Llera go to centro in the day (the street llera girls.)[/QUOTE]I'm going to have to press 'X' to doubt dawg. Unless things have changed drastically in the past 6 months, I've been to the plaza enough times to extrapolate that between all the strung-out, overweight, underweight, too old, too young, and unwashed prepago masses that (granted while lleras isn't light years better) there is still a significant quality difference in term of general looks and hygiene between the two areas. Is it worth the price difference? Debateable. But I would say maybe only 2 or 3 /10 of the uglier chicas you see walking around lleras go to centro in the day. The prettier ones feel just as leery at the prospect of having to venture and be seen in centro as any person not blinded by drugs or lust. Most sane people, both foreign and domestic, just try to finish whatever business they needed to get done in centro as quickly as possible without getting mugged or worse. The only people who go to botero to hangout are johns and hookers (and oblivious tourists), everyone else there is either trying to sell or take something from the people passing through.
Speaking of Hotel Nutibara
[QUOTE=CeeJay1;2880120]If you're trying to maximize your time in strip clubs, Casa's and Centro SW's and stay within a tight budget the main hotel stayed at is the Nutibara. [URL]https://www.guestreservations.com/hotel-nutibara-medellin/booking?[/URL] Depending on your taste and budget of course. If you don't care how much you spend and your loaded I guess you could stay in Poblado, but your limited to Parque lleras, to the ridiculously priced Gustos, and the over priced el Centro ho's. And if you like the high end strip clubs you most likely will have to take a cab to get to them no matter where you stay. I usually take a cab or the train to Poblado when I stay in the nutibara hotel and get normal food in the malls when I visiting on short stays. To me thats the best option when you want maximize time for what you or basically anybody comes for.[/QUOTE]A great choice if you want to partake of the delights in Centro. A bonus is it is girl friendly up to 6 PM.
