What is it like to live in Santa Marta? Which neighborhoods do you recommend and how much does rent cost?

Santa Marta is one of the most affordable coastal capitals to live in: rents are notably cheaper than in Bogotá or Medellín, and life revolves around the sea. Areas to consider: El Rodadero (touristic, everything nearby, more noise in season), Bello Horizonte and Pozos Colorados (quieter, towards the south), the Centro Histórico (charm and nightlife, intense heat), and Taganga (fishing village/backpacker vibe). Keep in mind the heat all year round, that water and electricity can fail more often than in the interior, and that in high season (December-January, Holy Week) prices go up.
