3
Montería's strongest north-side social district, tying together La Castellana's restaurants, Plaza de la Castellana, Pasaje del Sol, Zona Containers, cafes, gyms, and office services. It is still a good remote-work base, but its clearest identity is evening food, drinks, and a polished social scene.
