La 70 is the stretch of Carrera 70 that runs through Laureles up to the Atanasio Girardot stadium. It has long-standing bars, nightclubs, family restaurants and street food stands.
On game days fans arrive hours early and the street fills up. On weekdays the vibe is more about a sidewalk table, beer and paisa food.
Away from La 70, Laureles is a neighborhood of tree-lined streets, parks and cafés, calmer than El Poblado. On the same street is Mondongo's, which has served mondongo (tripe soup) since 1976.
