Barrio de San Martín · Rascacielos

San Martín’s so-called skyscrapers are a domestic response to steep terrain. A façade of moderate height from the street can reveal many more storeys towards the gorge. Compare levels without entering private homes. The interest lies in building, ground and viewpoint rather than modern skyscraper measurements. The neighbourhood has slopes and steps: choose a comfortable viewpoint and plan your return before descending further into its streets and passages.
