What happens

Pedro el Escamoso is a Colombian telenovela created by Luis Felipe Salamanca and Dago García, that aired on Caracol Televisión from 2001 to 2003. The telenovela follows Pedro, a tacky and overly confident but charming macho man who comes from a small town in Colombia. Fleeing a problem with "skirts," Pedro moves to the capital (Bogotá) to find his fortune and encounters a series of events and people that change his life dramatically. Pedro is the epitome of a man who can get all the women he wants, but can't get the one he loves. "Escamoso," a Colombian colloquialism for someone who thinks he's "all that".
