Dear Kjeld,

The National Bank, an outstanding example of Danish
"cool classicism", is indeed full of elegance, tension,
and aesthetic pleasure.

Sincerely,

1863. Gran Canaria, San Agustín, Restaurante La Rotonda

Querida Luz,

El balneario-restaurante La Rotonda en San Agustín,
Maspalomas Costa Canaria con su elegante forma
circular abierta al mar supuso una revolución en la
arquitectura moderna turística de la isla.
Desgraciadamente este edificio emblemático fue
incomprendido y abandonado durante años y
finalmente demolido en 1992.

Besos,
R
