On the occasion of Architecture Week in Madrid, I had the privilege of visiting one of the most weird skyscraper in the capital of Spain: La Vela (inside BBVA City).

Unfortunately was FORBIDDEN to record inside all the facility except in one area. So it was impossible to record anything inside the building. A real shame.

Con motivo de la Semana de la Arquitectura en Madrid, tuve el privilegio de visitar uno de los rascacielos más extraños en la capital de España: La Vela (dentro de la Ciudad BBVA).

Por desgracia estaba TERMINANTEMENTE PROHIBIDO grabar dentro de todo el recinto excepto en una zona. Por tanto, fue imposible grabar dentro del edificio. Una auténtica pena.
