De camino al puerto / On the way to the port [Es-En]

Ayer tuve que ir a la zona del puerto de la ciudad de Alicante (España). Mientras me dirigía hacia mi destino, vi que estaban podando unas palmeras en el paseo de la Explanada, lo que captó mi atención. El trabajo de palmerero es muy especializado y tiene mucha tradición y demanda en esta zona debido a la gran cantidad de palmeras que hay. Una de las herramientas específicas utilizada para la poda de palmeras, es el corvillón o corta palmeras. Es una hacha como la que tiene en la mano el palmerero de la foto.

Mientras hacía fotos al palmerero, me di cuenta de que estaban podando las palmeras cercanas a la Casa Carbonell y decidí hacer una publicación. La Casa Carbonell, ubicada en el Paseo de la Explanada, es un edificio residencial que data de 1925. Fue diseñado por el arquitecto alicantino Juan Vidal Ramos en un estilo historicista y modernista valenciano. Es una de las primeras casas que se ven cuando se llega a Alicante desde el mar, ya que está situada a escasos metros del Mediterráneo. Un dato curioso es que, al año de su inauguración, un hidroavión procedente de Argel colisionó contra una de las cúpulas del edificio, falleciendo los dos tripulantes y provocando la caída del remate de una de las cúpulas.

Cuando salía del portal donde tomé fotos, me encontré con una imponente figura de los guerreros de Xi'an promocionando la exposición que se realiza en el MARQ (Museo Arqueológico de Alicante).

Que tengas un gran día

Yesterday I had to go to the port area of the city of Alicante (Spain). While I was on my way to my destination, I saw some palm trees being pruned in the Paseo de la Explanada, which caught my attention. The work of a palm tree trimmer is very specialized and has a lot of tradition and demand in this area due to the large number of palm trees there. One of the specific tools used for pruning palm trees is the corvillón or palm tree cutter. It is an axe like the one in the hand of the palm tree cutter in the photo.

While I was taking photos of the palm tree cutter, I noticed that the palm trees near the Carbonell House were being pruned and I decided to make a publication. The Carbonell House, located on Paseo de la Explanada, is a residential building dating from 1925. It was designed by the Alicante architect Juan Vidal Ramos in a historicist and modernist Valencian style. It is one of the first houses you see when you arrive in Alicante from the sea, as it is located just a few meters from the Mediterranean. A curious fact is that, the year of its inauguration, a seaplane from Algiers collided with one of the domes of the building, killing the two crew members and causing the fall of the top of one of the domes.

When I was leaving the portal where I took photos, I found an imposing figure of the warriors of Xi'an promoting the exhibition that takes place in the MARQ (Archaeological Museum of Alicante).

Have a great day.

what a nice building, and the promenade is also very nice - the tiles are similar to those in black and white on the Copacabana

Thank you. This promenade is one of the busiest spaces in Alicante. I am not lucky enough to know Copacabana yet ;).
