Once the capital of the independent state of Antioquia, Santa Fé now is a well-preserved colonial town where you can get a good idea of what towns looked like several centuries ago.
As the light in Santa Fé de Antioquia was quickly deteriorating, I had a nice lunch in a restaurant without a name, and returned to the colonial town later that afternoon. The late afternoon sun was casting its light on the colourful houses of this colonial town, with some giant pink clouds in the sky. I dropped by the local cemetery, on the southeastern side of the city. Apart from the beauty of Santa Fé de Antioquia, I noticed how very friendly and welcoming people were. Many greeted me in the streets, saluted me from a distance, and again I was happy to speak Spanish. The next morning, I woke up early to be able to catch the best light of the day, and was not disappointed. The colours and the cobbled streets looked even better than the day before.
