San Pedro & Mesias

[Benedict 3,119]

Really beautiful city building... and that university is incredible! You certainly have an eye for the colorful.

[WeekendCityPlanner 19]

Due to my connections, I couldn't see the entire pics. But I could tell how, colorful, these cities are. Not to mention it gives me a better idea of what spanish cities look like.

[Shingure 56]

Very nice east Asain theme. I also sense a spanish atmosphere. Is it the buildings?

[panthersimcity4 162]

Kiwi n Grapes: Thanks. I love the name lol

Schulmanator: If you have a fruit roll up i'll trade. *trades* buahaha...  I photoshopped it

Callbat: Thanks. Yeah, I just loooove Granada. But when I went there last year it was raining bad.

dabadon5: Thanks

edmonton_stinks: Thanks, that's what I had in mind.

hijodecordoba: Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!

jacquilina: Thanks Jacky!

lucky7: Thanks, is that your dog on your avator?

bokrif: Thanks!

Benedict: Thanks, I love the univesity too. I downloaded it a long time ago so I'm glad I can finally put it to good use.

Nemesis666: Ah, I have connection problems too. The kind how the internet disconnects like ever 30 seconds. It's annoying. Thanks for the compliments!

Shingure: Hmmm, that is the question.

I'm not ready yet with Sunda Kelapa so I'll show some more San Pedro.

Avenida Mayor is exremely busy during rush hour when people are heading to and from work. The Central Market is where many people go grocery shopping - usually inner-city folk, most people shop at suburban grocery shops.

As you can tell, traffic is awful in San Pedro. Alot of people just travel around town via Tramways.

And now, for a mosaic of San Pedro's mini river-canal:

A nice walk alongside the canal is perfect for hectic and stressed businesspeople.  The ultra-modern Santiago Escalvo bridge was designed by famous Pedriano architect Santiago Escalvo, a relative of Santiago Calatrava. (not really )

Excellent work once again. The first and last shots are my favourites.

Awww what a shame, from my experience Spain is best experienced in the blazing unforgiving heat

[Benedict 3,119]

Another eye-popping update. the market is beautiful and I'd love to see more of the tram/glr system. East asian? Seems more Mediterranean/South American to me...

[bokrif 18]

The market is superb!

[hijodecordoba 74]

really beautiful pictures. the market place looks nice. the whole town seem to have a warm atmoshere. a place were people meet on every corner and have a talk.

great work.

Moonpie?

Oh and as for the CJ...?

Virtual vibrancy.  

[edmonton_stinks 5]

Those are some good shots of the city. I'll bet the tram system is good.

Love that canal too! Seems like a great place to run alongside.

[GingerBlokey 30]

Brillaint CJ that bridge and canal fit in so well with the older buildings. The trams are nicely intergrated too

[Voulpiotis 4]

Aaaah, this is great work! Congratulations, so real!!! Can't wait to see more! I love those regional photos, the place look very promising...

[manubeas 0]

woooow very nice and interesting cj. keep it up!!!

[waiyeap90 0]

OMG! Looks absolutely awesome. Do you mind telling me where u get this from please ?

[diamonddog_74 32]

Hey Panther, what buildings are you using in your downtown San Pedro besides the Porkissimo Paris lots? I really like those colorful W2Ws. Very nice towns. Cheers!

[The Big Z 103]

pathers, it looks amazing! I love the buildings, and the cool plaza. I'm looking forward to more.

[lucky7 73]

Very good update, I especially like the symbiosis between the modern bridge and the old buildings, looking very good!! Yes, this is my dog in the avatar! looking forward to more,

lucky7

[feliwi 4]

wow, great idea, this cj. there wasn't such a good mediterenean cj before (I also thought about something like a madeira based CJ, but then I decided for kaibesia). Fantastic work

[panthersimcity4 162]

Hellooo. I'm back, and with a remade San Pedro. Here's a teaser:

This time the capital will be more Lisbonish. I seriously have to do something about the embankments though

[hermannleicht 20]

Cool, loving your CJ. This last pict looks totally like a real model!!

But just one little correction: Osborne bulls were not meant to advert sangr

[Sky Guy 163]

Wow, this is really great. I like all the different palm trees in the sidewalks- are all those just default props?

[edmonton_stinks 5]

Remade, eh? That's interesting. I've never been to Lisbon, but it still looks good. I notice a difference, though I couldn't tell you what Spanish looks like and what Portuguese looks like.

[panthersimcity4 162]

Callbat: Thanks. lol, yeah, I went there during Spring Break. My family went to Italy once for summer but it was really hot, and we decided we wouldn't go to the mediteranean during summer.

Benedict: I think he was talking about the pic I showed of Salau. I won't be able to show much more of it though cause it's all messed up.

bokrif: Thanks!

hijodecordoba: Yea, it's a very casual family-oriented city. Gracias.

Madog: Not really colonial, mostly medieval but with 19th century spanish architecture. Thanks!

bbfan02: Thanks.

Taha'a: Well, the white ones with the balcony I made, but the others are by Mickebear, Heblem, and Debussyman.

Schulmanator: I'm sure you could! You've already made some nice mediteranean cities in Schulmania.

abcvus: Thanks, I don't like moonpies.

edmonton_stinks: Yes, I'm actually working on a tram system for my new city since it's based on Lisbon, with a little touch of Barcelona.

GingerBlokey: Thanks!

Voulpiotis: Thanks, unfortunately we probably won't see Salau for a long time.

Manubeas: Thanks!

waiyeap90: Get what? The buildings are (well, read my comment to Taha'a ) The cities are mostly based off of pictures I took in Spain and Portugal.

diamonddog_74: Thanks, most of the downtown buildings come from Frogface, Debussyman, JEC, and etc.

The Big Z: Thanks!

lucky7: Thanks, that's a cute dog!

feliwi: Thanks. Ah, Madeira is a nice place. A little isolated from Europe though.

hermannleicht: Really? I always thought they were for sangria. Thanks for the correction.

Sky Guy: Thanks!

Whoof. That was a lot. Thanks guys! Oh, and this Saturday I'm leaving for Mexico. When I get back I'll probably be dying to make some Latin American cities.

Anyways, let's get on with the update, shall we? Today we'll take a look at San Pedro's capital, Carife.

The old Santa Maria de los Mercedes Cathedral, built in the 13th century with gothic architecture. It is the oldest cathedral on the island and in the region. In front of the cathedral is the Plaza de San Pedro and the old Archbishop's palace. The cathedral survived the great San Pedro earthquake of 1700.

The Municipalidad of Carife (City Hall) is located not far from the Plaza de San Pedro, tucked behind old medieval and 18th century buildings, many of which were built after a massive earthquake in 1745 devastated the old town, but left the cathedral intact.

The waterfront gets very busy during the day with cars commuting to and from work. It's better to take a walk later in the day when it's not so hot and there's not so much car exhaust everywhere.

Next update will be a look at the Newer Town

[Callbat 8]

Wow! Excellent work once again! Looks like you've been busy making custom lots

The first church mosaic is my favourite part of the update

[ilikehotdogsalot 311]

So many beautiful buildings I have never seen before. That church is just awesome, it's like a unique icon of your city, I've never seen it used before. In Addition, your lots are the best, so much variety and details, awesome work!

[Schulmanator 5,812]

Ooooh! [squeal] What is that church? I must have it!
