Manila is a small, flat grid in the lower part of El Poblado, close to Avenida El Poblado, with a dense mix of cafés, brunch spots and budget-friendly hotels. It is home to Hija Mía's coffee bars and a Hacienda branch, and it is easy to walk to Parque Lleras and Provenza.

Why we love it

  • Coffee and brunch at Hija Mía
  • Casual paisa lunch at Hacienda's Manila branch
  • Short walk to Parque Lleras and Provenza
