Montería is a municipality and city located in Northern Colombia and is the capital of the Department of Córdoba. The city is located 50 km (31 mi) away from the Caribbean sea, by the Sinú River. The city and region are famous for their distinct cultural heritages, which include a blend of indigenous Zenú Indians, African descendants, colonial Spanish descendants, and more recently, Arab immigrants. The city is home to the Sombrero Vueltiao, a national symbol; and is the home of Porro folklore music. The city has an inland seaport connected to the Caribbean Sea by the Sinú River.
In the many faces of the monteria people you can find a warm, charming feeling, mostly because of the passive cultural gift that we have inside.
Being a journalist here is more than a job, is a cultural must. The journalist is seen as the master of the knowledge; a journalist point of view can have the power to recreate reality, because this community tends to be naive and polite, specially with subjects as politics, economy and religion.
