Visitas a Casa Botines(Gaudí)

So on the 3rd of May which was yesterday.... wow my days are pretty gone... Santos (the greatest...so he calls himself, LOL) set our group only with a visit to Casa Botines. Gaudí if you didn't know is a famous architect. And he did this building.... This building is like the used to Washington Mutal Tower in downtown Seattle. The main place!! It is the home of Caja España, which is the main bank of Spain. They are everywhere just like in the states and how McDonalds and Starbucks are on every corner.. yeah exactly the same amount.



The tour wasn't completely in depth, but it was amazing to enter rooms that are usually closed off the to public. If I understand correctly, the bottom floor was a cloth store, first floor as the lobby, main services and everything upward is either offices or conference rooms. In particular, the conference room we visited was proabbly the main and really big one. Every Thursday, in the shown room there is a meeting with the president of Caja España. The carpet was handmade and the light piece was very intricate.


That was practically it for the mini visit to the Casa Botines. I'll think of it as that not very many people have gone where I've gone.
