This Colombian city of 123,982 people is not for the faint of heart. The bureaucracy is a persistent headache, and the sweltering climate can be a grind. But for those willing to embrace the challenges, Magangué offers a chance to live in the hometown of Gabriel García Márquez's wife, Mercedes Raquel Barcha Pardo. She famously pawned her hair dryer to support her Nobel Prize-winning husband's writing career. Magangué may not be an easy place, but it's one that rewards grit and determination.
