The Song Around the Corner

La canción de la esquina

Hernando's world map is covered in red pins for trips he never took, so his granddaughter hands him a green notebook and a dare: explore one Bogotá neighborhood every Saturday. Then, deep in the south of the city, he hears a song only his mother used to sing.

Part 1 of 3 in The Saturday Traveler

Hernando tiene sesenta y ocho años. Vive solo en Bogotá. Es maestro, pero ahora no trabaja.
