Let's visit the Spanish district...

The area was founded by Spanish refugees as a small fishermens community. It fuctioned as a separay town for a long time until the Bartopolians got over their xenofobism. But it remained a poor district until recently the railroad that had been respectlessly built in narrow streets went underground. Now it has become the cultural hotspot in the city.

The church and the sailors cemetery....

The harbour... Many fish restaurants. On the far rigth my favourite hangout. Club Barrio Latino...

The river front...

And the street where the elevated railroad used to be. A building that used to end the street before construction of the elevated railroad has been reconstructed...

Your Spanish district is looking nice, very distinct compared to the rest of your city.

[jasperdeman.nl 1]

Great pictures again!

Sorry for not commenting before, I was on holiday, but it all looks very great as usual!

 

Do you have any idea's for new projects or expansions (and ofcourse updates )?

[Bart_Betrwrld 0]

A bit further to the south three highways and two railroads intersect. It's also right between the city center and the airport. Project developers say it's the right spot to build a new business district. Unofrtunately, the knot of roads and rail was too complicated to handle, so far. But the new NAM might solve that.

But currently, nice weather forces me to spend some more time outside, you know, that big room with a blue ceiling and that extremely bright lightbulb hanging from it. So it might take a while before the business district is finished.

Had to visit this thread since you gave me the link, and WOW...this is impressive!   Can't wait to get started myself - again!

it looks pretty neat.

The amount of detail that went into showing the various stages of reconstruction in this city journal is very impressive. Full marks for your city's civil engineers.

Looks awesome i just started taking interest in the forums today and the CJ things are pretty interesting that Spanish District is really cool, what buildings did you use for it, did you also raise and lower the terrain to make all your tunnels or is there a mod? Great CJ.
