Had a great time with Miguel as he toured us around La Candelaria. He shared many interesting stories behind the gorgeous street arts with much gusto. I love how these colorful temporal works sprawled across the city weaves in a rich cultural and political view of Bógota and Colombia. The walk ended at a coffee shop by one of the local artists and served us a nice cup of coca tea.
