Fold and Fly Travel: Barranquilla

Barranquilla Colombia

Certainly! Here’s an English (Ireland) translation of your text, with some subtle adjustments to reflect Irish English vocabulary, spelling, and tone: --- After Bogotá, Medellin and Cali, Barranquilla is Colombia’s fourth largest city. It’s the main industrial port, situated in the north of Colombia by the Caribbean Sea, at the mouth of the Magdalena River. The city is well-known across Latin America for its lively four-day carnival. The Carnaval de Barranquilla is second only in size to Rio’s, and it’s the biggest street parade in Colombia, full of dancing, music and masquerade processions. The carnival in Barranquilla is unique because of its cultural diversity, with Spanish, African and indigenous influences. If you take a stroll through the city centre and the most pleasant district, El Prado, you’ll come across several lovely examples of Art Deco architecture and the main sights of the city, with Casa del Carnaval being the highlight. The Catedral Metropolitana María Reina, another of the city’s main attractions, is also found in the El Prado area. Although Barranquilla isn’t among the top tourist destinations in Colombia, you really should visit the city to get a true sense of Colombia. Barranquilla is Colombian culture at its finest. ---
