Concepción, Antioquia, is so beautiful precisely because it has stayed outside the tourist and commercial circuits… that’s why it is one of the few towns where you won’t find a Bancolombia, a D1 store, or any chain store of renown. This makes the town even more magical. Here, instead of going to the bank, you go to Gana or a PAC; instead of going to Éxito, you go to Don Carlos; and if you need a nail, everyone surely knows Don Wilmer (even though his name is actually Widmar, but that’s another story that is part of the charm of a town where dreams prevail over reality).
We also offer a list of the most emblematic and useful stores that could help you during your stay in this small town.
