Centro Histórico

Täna, pärast hispaania keele tunde, käisin koos teiste vabatahtlikega  taaskord Quito vanalinnas. Seekord külastasime ka kirikuid ja Basílica del Voto Nacional'i, mis on neogooti stiilis ehitatud basiilika. Vaieldamatult üks mu lemmikumaid ehitisi vanalinnas! Ronisime ka mitmete tornide tippu ja vaade oli lihtsalt võrratu, aga las pildid kõnelevad enda eest :)

Today, after the Spanish classes, me and the other volunteers went to explore the old town. This time we also entered some churches and Basílica del Voto Nacional, which is a basilica in a new-Gothic style. Definitely one of my favorite buildings in the old town! We also climbed up the towers and the view was just amazing, but let the pictures talk for themselves :)
