The travel de architecture They have become a trend that, for culture lovers like our clients and friends, are perfect. The theme is very simple: with the excuse of a style, architect, era or buildings, a visit is prepared and in the process, we discover another place. In De Salas We have found a website that is dedicated to promoting this type of proposals and we thought it would be a good idea to present it, in addition to suggesting our own destinations.
Architectours.com presents visits, trips and events that focus on architecture, local, national or international, depending on the country in which they operate. For us there is travelarchitecture.com and, despite the health and delicate moment we are experiencing, they have organized several outings that comply, of course, with all the necessary protocols to make the trip safe.
One of the most interesting at the national level is Architecture of Spanish wineries, which would take us to La Rioja, Tarragona and Girona and where we would visit wineries that are more than just places to taste and learn about wine culture, they are wonderful facilities carried out by Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid or the always controversial Calatrava.
Under the heading «Architecture "urban", they propose a route focused on proper names such as Miralles and Carme Pinós, or areas such as the 22@ District of Barcelona, Madrid architecture, Pamplona in two days, Architecture of Edinburgh and Glasgow: Rennie Mackintosh or Architecture Castilian: León and Valladolid.
And if we want to make a geographical leap, there are the most suggestive international destinations, such as Chicago, to see first-hand the incredible constructions of Frank Lloyd Wright y Mies van der Rohe. The Germany of the Bauhaus in Berlin, Dessau and Potsdam. Or a trip back in time to Georgia, Tbilisi, Azerbaijan and Baku, where we will jump from medieval buildings to contemporary influences, Ottoman city centers or lost villages at the foot of a glacier combined with ultra-modern towers of architecture figure.
Another option is to bring out the mythomaniac inside us and take the opportunity to take a (long) walk through the United States and visit houses of famous and illustrious people who once marked history. Like the house from which Mark Twain wrote “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” and which is in Hartford, Connecticut, for only 20 dollars.
Henry FordAfter reducing transportation around the world, he retired to a stone estate in Dearborn, Michigan, which combines several architectural styles and can be visited. “The unsinkable Molly Malone” is the name by which the famous American philanthropist who survived and helped in the evacuation of the Titanic, and his home on Denver's Capitol Hill was also saved from disappearing and remains a relic of the styles of architecture available to tour for only 12 dollars.
Houses, trips and architecture, three words that, in the same sentence, always seem like a good idea to us in De Salas. Home lovers, there is no way to know first-hand how others thought about it to know that we can offer quality service to our clients and friends.
