Hey everyone, I was in Israel for the past week or two, so I was unable to post any updates until earlier this week with the tram update. I was really inspired there with the beautiful scenery and the old city of Jerusalem... Anyways, here's an update about two important religious sites in San Pedro: the Monastery at Bizquena and the walled city of Santa Teresa. First, we'll visit Bizquena, which is located in the hills west of Carife. Next off is Santa Teresa. That's all, folks! I hope you enjoyed it.

Here's another update of Santa Leon. I know I was going to update San Lorenzo (which will soon be known as "The State of New Cholula" since I'm expanding that CJ!) but for some reason I also want to update this CJ. I'm juggling two CJs at once!! OMG!!!! Okay, I won't be juggling CJs, I just want to post a few more Mesias updates before continuing on with San Lorenzo. Anyways, I was very dissatisfied with the picture quality of the last two Mesias updates, since the picture quality was poo. I discovered a...

New CJ?

By panthersimcity4,

Okay, so here's my idea for either a new CJ, or a new region to add to this CJ. Crosley is an island in the English channel, located west of Guernsey and Jersey. It is similar to San Pedro in being in a chain of islands, but is different in that Crosley is a British crown dependency, whereas San Pedro is an independent country. Below is a picture of a suburb near the capital city. Obviously the whole region won't be about small towns and suburbs, but I don't wanna spoil the urban city. What do you think?

This update will be about the "central interior" of San Pedro, known as the San Pedro valley. The main important sites here are the town of Alvares and the Alcazar of Calvario. First, let's go look at the Alcazar de Calvario. Now, let's head over to Alvares. I hope you enjoyed my update!

Carife

By panthersimcity4,

Carife is the capital of San Pedro. The Barrio Gótico (Gothic Quarter), which is home to the Church of the Assumption, Basilica of Santa Maria de los Buenos Aires, and many delicious tapas bars. Nearby the Gothic Quarter is where the Cathedral and Government palace are located, around the Plaza Mayor. The cathedral is very unique in that it's one of the few cathedrals in the area that does have a bell tower. Instead, there is a large bell above the dome. The city's port is where various cargo and cruise...

Cejala & news

By panthersimcity4,

We're on the San Pedro riviera, looking at a new city I've made. It's called Céjala and it is located at the north of the San Pedro riviera. ALSO..... I've included some news from El Emperador, which is San Pedro's oldest newspaper and most popular. The picture for the North African vacation article is a teaser for a new region I've been working on.

Lepanto

By panthersimcity4,

Welcome to the city of Lepanto, located in the north of San Pedro. Originally a small fishing port, it became a Crusader port due to its predominate Christian community under Muslim rule. After the reconquest, the town continued to be an important port. However, in the mid 20th century, the town's economy plummeted and it was an impoverished backwater. Today, however, it is a resort town of high-end fashion boutiques and restaurants. Today, Lepanto is a popular stop for tourists on their way to the beaches...

Here's a compilation of pics of Mesias from the old thread, along with some historical stuff. The Republic of Mesias La Republica de Mesias Capital: Santa Leon Official Language: Spanish Government: Democratic Republic (technically speaking) Presidente: Jorge Cortona (2006 - Today) Independence: from San Pedro: 1873 Currency: Coronita (Ca$) Originally discovered by famed San Pedro explorer Ignacio Jimenez, humans have lived in this area for millions of years. The first civilization (and really...

Alberto and Marina are the two most well-known leaders of San Pedro. Why? Mostly because of their ruthless quest for power over the island. Secondly, because of their ill-tempered marriage. They were pretty much the most disfunctional marriage of San Pedro's history. Above: Portraits of Queen Marina & King Alberto. The two got married in 1471. Alberto was the heir to the San Pedrian throne, while Marina was the cousin of the heir to the Crown of Aragon. A century or two earlier, the Crown of Aragon was...

This update is about San Pedro's riviera. Since it's around the time of Spring Break and close to Holy Week, I decided to focus on this part of the nation. Let's head off to a well-known town just up the coast. Now, let's head off to a well-known town just up the coast. I hope you enjoyed my update!

Well, I won't be posting any updates or anything for the next two weeks, because..... *drumroll*... I'm going on Vacation! To Europe... I'll be going to Poland, Austria, Italy and Germany. :party: Anyways, here's a couple pics before I leave...

I noticed my CJ has been at the top of the recently updated list, which is because I initially posted this update but then realized I wasn't done with it and deleted it. This update is about the villages in the Dulcinea Valley, the valley in which Carife is located. We'll go along by train. Don't worry though, I won't keep you confined to the train though First off is one of Carife's beachside suburbs, Baronia. Now we are passing through the tunnel that goes underneath Monte Baronia. Now let's head through...

Here's a new update that I haven't posted before. Hope you enjoy it! I injected a bit of humor into it to make it more fun. The San Pedro "Riviera" is a strip of land on the west coast of the island that is jam-packed and overcrowded with houses, hotels, beaches, and tourists. Valdez and Santo Antonio are the two main towns of the "riviera", Santo Antonio being the larger one. The towns are within close proximity within eachother, and the only thing that really seperates them is a small beach. Santo...

Once again, we follow a few college-age kids as they have their Spring Break... even though it's Sunday. I planned on posting this update earlier but I was gone in Seattle, so I couldn't. DJ: "Ciao, I am Berta.... I used to be a beautiful Italian socialite 30 years ago... now I'm older and in desperate need of money after divorcing that awful husband of mine. So, I'm hosting this old "DISCOTECA" Italo disco radio station... in English for all of you American and British tourists who come to the south of...

I got Tropico 3 today. It's a blast, even though I've spent the whole day only on Sandbox mode I tried remaking Santa Leon in Tropico 3, and I love the result. It doesn't look that different from Santa Leon in Sc4, but it's not really an exact replica. I tried to make a fortress-looking area around the old town... but it's kinda hard since there's no walls or anything to plop. However the scenic lookout buildings do look alot like colonial fort towers. Here's a view of the city from a hillside to the East...

Finally, we are heading back to San Pedro. We first had to fly from the US to Madrid... and now we are flying from Madrid to Carife with AeroPedro. "Ladies and gentlemen, we have now arrived in Carife. We hope you enjoyed your flight with us, we really need the business. I mean, REALLY. It's currently warm... it's partly sunny with some clouds in the sky. We hope you enjoy your stay in San Pedro!"

It's (my) Spring Break... which means I'm sitting here on my computer messing around with Simcity. I usually go somewhere cool for Spring Break... but this year, well, I'm not. For that reason, we'll follow a group of college students from the United States as they discover what San Pedro is all about.... Radio DJ: "Well hello there clubbers! It's DJ Wuzzbat here on IBIZA RADIO playing some bloody awesome tunes right here for you, it's a global dance party all the way from London to San Pedro!" Tour Guide:...

Calvario

By panthersimcity4,

I've redone Calvario in a more like Cuenca, with its "overhanging buildings" on the cliffs (the Cuenca in Spain, NOT Ecuador although both of them are awesome ) Calvario is a small town perched on top of a tiny plateau. The Bizquena River meanders around the plateau, surrounded by farmland and rolling hills. Calvario was one of the few medieval towns that never needed walls, due to the fact that it was almost unreachable except by tiny areas which were heavily protected by military. Unless of course the...

Central Mesias, also known as the "Colonial Heartland", is the central region of Mesias. Most of the country's beautiful colonial towns are located in this central region near the coast. The region is filled with rolling hills covered in tropical plants and plantations.

The Kingdom of San Pedro El Reino de San Pedro Capital: Carife Official Language: Pedrian Spanish Government: Constitutional Monarchy Reigning King: Jose Marcos III (1982 - Today) Prime Minister: Eduardo Mantilla Dorrego (2008 - Today) Independence: from Spain: 1353 Currency: Corona (C$) National Past-Times: Eating strange things, running from rabid bulls, and complaining about the EU San Pedro is an island nation in the Mediterannean, located near the Balearic islands and Corsica.

Happy Easter!

By panthersimcity4,

I would like to wish everyone a Happy Easter, on behalf of the San Pedro Tourism Board. Here is a special card! (Click it to see the bigger version) I included some easter eggs... and I'm not just talking about the round, colorful kind.

Here's some news from San Pedro's most trusted news source! (Plus I have a teaser for a future region I might make a CJ of.) I think I forgot to post the following newspaper before. It's a religious newspaper by Pan Diario, a Catholic christian broadcasting company based in Mesias. And NOW...... *drumroll* Here is a teaser of a region I'm working on. Yup! I went for a British style. It'll be an island located presumably in the English channel, somewhat similar to Guernsey or Jersey. I've never made a...
