Here we find the Gabriel García Márquez Exhibition, that leads us to a writing room of a Caribbean newspaper of the 50's. Inside it, in addition to typewriters and linotypes, we can make out a series of animated fragments of three of his remarkable works. In another part of the park we find the Macondo Media Library, a enter for audiovisual and writing media, that displays Gabo's works not only in Spanish, but also in more than 25 languages. In the museum’s kitchen, we can enjoy a good cup of Colombian coffee, made just like the writer would have.
