Wow, what a comprehensive architectural adventure @belkyscabrera! By the looks of it, the Altavista II shopping center is humongous. And your exploration doesn't even include Altavista 1, its connecting mall. The main atrium topped by a spectacular dome with overhead windows for natural lighting is a special experience in itself. No wonder this commercial establishment is flocked by loyal shoppers like you. I'm glad you had a marvelous time at this modern masterpiece. Have a fantastic weekend! ☺️
