Can someone break down El centro to me?
I stopped by plaza Botero during my Medellin visit but there was so many damn people and sketchy in parts that all I did was walk around the sculptures for a few minutes and walked down Carabobo and back up to conejitas. But we were so intimidated and paranoid we noped out after a while.
Can someone help me "get it" so I can actually know what to do when I go back?
For one, what area does "El Centro" actually refer to, that has never been made clear to me. Is there any specific days and areas to look out for freelancers other than night time? I think I went a Saturday evening and it was so many people it took our Uber 30 minutes just to clear the street in front of conejitas. And lastly is it safe to explore south of Grieff? My Uber went north and drove thro that sketchy ass druggie area so we know not to go north.

I used to enjoy meandering around El Centro in the afternoon, more for a little seedy visual titillation than any real hope of finding the oft touted here on ISG "diamond in the rough". Seems "One man's diamond is another man's coal. " Is that a proverb?
For chica sightseeing purposes I would define El Centro into three slightly distinct subareas:
1. Plaza Botero itself along with the Avenida Carabobo pedestrian approach to the Plaze by the church between Calles 51 and 52 (the Plaza well worth visiting for itself: the Botero Statues, the Museo de Antioqui, the Palacio de la Cultura Rafael Uribe). It's mostly populated with tourists and locals seeing the sights, but with a sprinkling of working girls here and there in the plaza or lingering on the short pedestrian street leading to it along side the church. Some ISG posters have also reported success picking up (on a P4P basis) the chica vendors selling drinks and snacks in and about the Plaza.
2. Carrera 53 between Calles 51 and 52, along with the short blocks on Calles 51 and 52 between the Plaza / Avenida Carabobo and Carrera 53, with the action centered on the corner of Carrera 53 and Calle 51. This is by far the seediest stretch of El Centro, quite crowded with vehicles and pedestrians, a fair number of drunks / druggies / beggars, numerous (mostly scuzzy) working girls on the street, in door ways, and seated in the open to the street bars that line the street. As I recall, the heaviest concentration of transvestites loiter on the Calle 51/52 short blocks and around the small church. Thiis subarea is the least comfortable of the three for scouting chicas if you are on the squeamish side.
3. Avenida de Grieff / Raudal Corner: Primarily the far side of Avenida de Grieff across from Plaza Botero as it extends fromthe Hotel Nutibara to the Raudal Corner at Avenida de Grieff and Carrera 54 Ccuta. Here I would also include the side streets between Grieff and Calle 54 (a block each of Carreras 54,53, 52 A and Avenida Carabobo). On these streets you won't find many street walkers, but there are a number of bars wide open to the sidewalk with working girls waiting inside as well as several nightclubs, notably Conejitos Grill, Taberna Hilton, and Grill Occidental but also a number of other more hole-in-the-wall, cellar joints (most all with at least some afternoon activity). I've always found this area (on Avenida de Grieff itself and the side streets between there and Calle 54) perfectly comfortable for walking about during daytime and (unwisely perhaps) even on a few occasions at night. Just a mix of locals going about their business and a fair number of fruit and other street vendors on some blocks, but perhaps not the place for someone who doesn't feel reasonably streetwise.
Despite numerous visits to the El Centro streetwalking scene, I have only sessioned with a street chica there once and that was a disappointment. That said, I have found the rare gem of a keeper at the El Centro night clubs, especially Barra Ejecutiva, but that too seems to have declined in quality over the past year or so.
Spas / Lleras Park / tinder /3 some
Angeles, energy, new life. Thumbs down. Conjeitas, nueva grill, centro thumbs down. Tinder definitely a winner. Girlfriend experience, cum in the mouth without upcharge. Lleras Park definitely a winner even with police and security presence. Paid 400 k plus transport for lleras Park chica. 7 status I think, head game was sick. I gave her a dick beat down and she took it with pleasure. Previous girl was big surprise. She is going to be part 1 of the threesome tonight. Amazing girl friendly skills. Laureles love the neighborhood. Don't hesitate to come to Colombia. Wonderful place. Lleras Park is way better than Sosua.
