Barranquilla Group
The Barranquilla Group was the name given to the group of writers, journalists, and philosophers who congregated in the Colombian city in the middle of the twentieth century; it became one of the most productive intellectual and literary communities of the period. Among the most influential and notable members were Gabriel GarcĂa Márquez, Ălvaro Cepeda Samudio, Germán Vargas, and Alfonso Fuenmayor, all of whom also comprise the fictionalized Barranquilla Group referred to as the "four friends" of Macondo in Cien Años de Soledad (One Hundred Years of Solitude) (1967), by GarcĂa Márquez.
