Our Champions for the Week:

(February 3 - 9, 2025)

The truth is that I could not determine the architectural style of this building, but it is evident that it is inspired by the architecture of the city of Seville. It strikes me that the structure is not uniform in form, in fact, I could not decipher the intention of the architect, it seems a building that was made in an improvised way as the years passed, by the way, according to a plaque made in cement, this building was built in 1878, so now it has more than 100 years of having been built.

Of the whole place, what I liked the most was its spiral wall. The railing is metallic with a silvery sheen. Of the rest of the elements, the wood stands out, which, as I always say, is one of my favorite elements in interior design. The steps of the stairs are protected with wood. The most interesting thing, in my opinion, is that on the other side there is a piece that imitates a huge bookcase, and even has the spines of books carved in wood. I thought this decorative element was the coolest thing about the whole place.

Among the places we visited was the Metropolis shopping center in Valencia, Carabobo state, Venezuela. This state has developed in the last decade creating parks, cafes and places focused on tourism and recreation. Valencia has many shopping malls, some new and others old like this one I present today, years ago I visited it with my parents but it was so long ago that I do not remember it and my brother did not know it, he loves these places.
