A Medellín institution, Salon Malaga is more than just a bar, it's a cultural experience. With walls decked out in black-and-white images of long-dead singers and an amazing collection of gramophones, it is a visual feast. But Malaga is all about the tunes, with the senior DJ spinning classic tango and boleros from a collection of old vinyl.
It's a great place to take a break from the bustle of the center and to observe the charismatic regulars. You can sample the music on its website.
