Barrio El Prado
The beginning of it all
El Prado is the crown jewel of Barranquilla’s golden years, a neighborhood that brought the innovative spirit of the 1920s to the Caribbean. Eclectic mansions, inspired by styles from around the world, stand among wide avenues and tropical gardens, breathing life into every corner. This architectural oasis is home to the iconic Hotel El Prado, a symbol of a city with big dreams, and to figures like Meira Delmar, who found their muse here. In El Prado, the history of Barranquilla still throbs deeply.
