Atlántico, la tierra amigable para buscar la longevidad
Hace apenas dos meses que los esposos Ana Rocío Castro Carrillo –de 62 años– y Alfredo Valencia –de 57– emprendieron una nueva vida frente al mar, alejada de la fría Bogotá donde nacieron y vivieron toda la vida. Un moderno multifamiliar en Puerto Colombia, desde donde aprecian las colinas y se regodean con los atardeceres brillantes, se convirtió en su nuevo hogar.
