Probably some of you have already see this entry, but as we know, we have lost a lot of data, so I will post again Tacoma.

Today we will travel to another city in Rivamar. Thanks for all the comments!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today, we will visit finally some city outside from coast, our trip start in Tacoma.

Tacoma is former a mainly dormitory city, but in the last of 60s start a new development, with some industries and after that some commerce. The city itself there's no much attractive, so we will pass fastly toward. Tacoma is located east from Santarrío (we will travel after), which in turn is east from San Martin.

Tacoma
Population: 197.988

First, a city panorama:

Centro

The first neighborhood it is the currently most important financial hub in city. It was start developed in the late of 90s, and in middle of 2000s have a great change in an ambicious project, drag down all roads, and let the access with cars only by outside neighborhood, while the inside is accessible only with GLR and walk (unless you let your car in some of parking lots nearby and walking). As it is only commercial and offices, the population is exactly zero, as the all parts outside the two avenues are in another districts administration:

Tacoma there is no much things to do, however the most famous landmark is the Parque de las Flores which runs south-north and it is divided in three different parts and have access from differents districts in city:

Montoya
Pop: App. 27.000

Montoya is the second most important district in city in terms of service and commercial jobs and it was the most important itself before the construction in Centro. But still have the importance, and as is connurbated with Santarrío, it is very dense (according city standards):

Vista del Río
Pop: App. 21.000

It is famous by the biggest church in city: Catedral de Nostra Señora, and it is located southeast from Parque de las Flores:

Villa Nueva
Pop: App. 10.000

It is the most expensive district in the city, near every major points and it is famous by the apartments blocks building in the last of 50s, which give a very charming appearence to neighborhood. It is very flat and have a lot of land to buy and build in north part, also there's a plan to build a new olympic stadium, but this is at this moment only speculations... To this moment you can go in Villa Nueva to see the Modern Art Museum (Museo de Arte Moderna), and the small park in annex

Parque Este

It is mostly residential, and as the spanish name says, it is located east from the Park:

Finally, we reach the largest and most populated district: It is very residential, but also have a large commercial zones and mixed zonning, with a lot of houses in north part.
