Comments:
-          The introduction is very simple, is necessary that add more information about of Medellín, for attract more attention in the people that read.
-          We believe that your profiles are good.
-          The information is very short, could add more about the music, festivals, sports, characteristics of the population and landscape.
-          They could add more information about the typical places and tourist attractions as this is very important.
-          Would be good to add more images, because the blog is very poor
-          The information is understood, but the blog needs more pictures and colors
