My time in Medellín, the city of flowers, was centered around Feria de Las Flores and one of the most unique desfiles, or ‘parades’, I have ever been to. Medellín is known for its street art, cocktail bars, exotic fruits, and one of the largest flower festivals in the world, Feria de Las Flores. This was my second visit and such a different experience since I was now able to speak so much more of the language. My first stop was a visit to the region of Antioquia. Paisais the word for a local in Colombia. Porteño is what you would call a local from Buenos Aires. Just like the hot sauce brand, tapatío is the word for a local in Guadalajara. One of the things I learned in the places I visited were the various ways you refer to a local person in different Spanish-speaking countries. What to Call a Local in Spanish-Speaking Countries From Colombia to Argentina to Mexico, I had so much fun getting Lost With Locals. In each country I visited, I sought out to find locals who are experts in what they do to teach me about their countries’ history, culture, and local traditions.
I took my language learning process to a whole new level by traveling through Latin America and practicing along the way. After spending a year improving my Spanish speaking skills with Rosetta Stone’s app, it was fun to take the leap and explore three different Spanish-speaking countries.
