Explore Plaza Guarín with Diego and Yarol. Plaza Guarín is located on one of Bucaramanga’s main streets and so it is frequented by local cooks, restaurants and home-cooks alike. Like all good markets in Colombia, Plaza Guarín offers products that are fresh and delicious, like exotic fruits and verdant vegetables. <br><br> The area around the market is home to many traditional restaurants that Diego and Yarol will tell you about as you explore the neighborhood.
I loved this experience meeting Fabio and his mother and learning how to make several Colombian specialties. From the market visit to the general cooking tips to the hands-on lesson in making arepas and patacones to (of course) eating the delicious meal, this was an unforgettable experience where I felt beyond welcomed. Fabio really went out of his way to make sure I got everything I wanted out of it (which specifically was, the arepa and patacon lessons and fresh juices from Colombian fruits). Highly recommend!
