It was a nice Fall Sunday morning. There was no Formula 1 race this weekend, so I decided to do something different. I went out of my apartment, took my photo camera and got into my taxicab with some of my favourite songs and I went round the country, making photos to some of the buildings I see everyday...
I began my special trip in the northeastern part of the island, in the Universitat Politècnica de l'Atlàntic (Atlantic Technological University) campus. The first pic was for the Industrial Engineering Technical School.

Some meters far from there, I didn't hestitate on snapping the Aeronautical Engineering Technical School.

Now, I took my taxi and went north along Avinguda d'Americana (Americana Avenue), and stopped besides Calatrava Tower, one of the three structures designed by Santiago Calatrava in Alarconia.

I had to go straight on Americana Avenue and entered in Americana's municipality, crossing all the city until arriving to the downtown. The first structure I wanted to capture was the Safeco Field, seemed it was game day:

I kept straight on the avenue. Half a kilometer to the west, stands the HSBC Arena, inside West Americana.

I left Americana and entered in Ciutat de la Fortuna (Lucky City), the so-called "Little Vegas". The two biggest hotels and casinos in Alarconia were waiting for me. First of all, The Mirage, placed in the east part of the city:

I kept along Atlantic Avenue and passed the small Alarconiatown without taking any pictures, until I arrived to Pont de la Unió (Union Bridge).

I took Avinguda de l'Eixample (Extension Avenue) until the crossing with Atlantic Avenue again. Then, I headed to the city's geographical center, a zone that has suffered a radical change during the last years; formerly industrial, now full of activity. I could see the Gray Building from lots of meters far.

Now, through the Tunnel Industrial Park, I headed to Districte dels Madrilenys (Madrid People's District), this tour would be pointless without taking a photograph of Madrid Building.

I crossed the Autopista (The Motorway) and headed to the Alarconia World Financial Center, easily visible from everywhere in the nation. The tallest building, the most well-known and the most controverted when its construction.

Now I headed to the city center, the zone besides the Old Quarter and Commerce District (the actual CBD). I had to stop in front of the Central Railway Station to take a pic of Station Tower.

I headed now to the CBD's core, running parallel to the AlarcoTram tracks. Among all the wonderful CBD skyscrapers, the best pic was the one which depicted the HSBC building.

I was quickly done with the CBD. The light conditions weren't very good with all those towering skyscrapers making strange shadows in my camera, so I took the car again and I went off the CBD, going to the southern part of the city. First stop: Staples Center; the largest sports arena in Alarconia.

Finally, I left Ciutat d'Alarcònia (Alarconia City) and entered in Costa Verda (Green Coast) municipality. There were a couple of landmarks I was interested in.
The first one is CostaverdaCommercialPark, popularly known as CoCommercial Park, the biggest shopping mall in Alarconia, the heart of an entire leisure zone in southern Illa de Nova Catalunya (New Catalonia Island).

Now I was going to the last place. I had to cross all La Florida municipality and the PetroAlarconia complex, till I reached Port Alarconia. Then, I entered in the road that takes to the ferry terminal and the control tower. This was the last building.

I parked my taxi cab in the sidewalk and I got off. I breathed deeply, filling my lungs with the sea air, while watching how a oil tanker was refilling its tanks nearby. Then, I checked my pics.
