Excelente epílogo en memoria de Fernando Botero"The most Colombian of Colombian artists." I am not a Colombian native although Colombia has been my second residence for more than 15 years. I've had the pleasure of viewing Botero's works in Cartagena, Bogotá, and Medellín. Botero is as equally heralded as the personification of Colombian culture as Gabriel Garcia Márquez, both geniuses in their own right. Revisar el recuerdo de mi primera experiencia viendo el arte sumamente singular de Botero en la Plaza Botero, Medellín, frente al Museo de Antioquia, me deja con algo de melancolía al saber que perdimos una de las voces más influyentes de nuestra época. Nevertheless, thank you for giving recognition to one of Colombia's most gifted and cherished individuals through a delightful, brief biography!

Translating 'despite'

Despite the considerable damage inflicted is translated as:

A pesar del hecho de que se produjeron numerosos daños

Is it possible to say 'A pesar de que se produjeron numerosos daños'?

The first one sounds like a literal translation of 'despite the fact that' and very formal

If both are correct which is the most natural?

Gracias
