The Quest for Culinary Diversity: Island, City, Mountains
The food in Santa Marta is delicious: fresh, accessible, flavorful. But it’s also a bit monotonous, an endless parade of fried fish, grilled chicken, patacon [plantain pancake] and arroz con coco [coconut rice, which locals in their charming, final-syllable-swallowing accent call arro-co-co]. Of course the universe of fruits is vast, with mangoes, papayas, avocados, lulos, guanabana, guayaba and coconuts, but still. I’m not saying that we left town just for new food — our psychological health was another factor — but with a week and game visitor du jour, why stay in Santa Marta?
