Good architecture is open, open to life, open to enhance anyone's freedom, where anyone can do what they need to do.

Hello community it is a pleasure to be with you again to share with you my adventure with a beautiful design and architecture that is located in the first born of the American Continent, Cumana, Venezuela. This time I show you the design of the shopping center called "Ginan".
It is located in the center of the city, in one of the most popular and crowded streets of the city, called "Calle Bermudez".
The Ginan, as it is called in the local speech, is very visited by the locals for being in a strategic place since when walking through the center of the city you pass through the front and back of it.

The Ginan mall is one of the malls that has the largest number of electronic equipment stores, they have several stores where you can buy mid-range and high-end phones adjusting to the consumer's pocket, in addition, they sell different designs of covers and accessories for cell phones. This one stands out because it has articles of technology and something that caught my attention immediately was to see the characters of the animated movie Super Mario Bross, it was very exciting because I was in the company of my son and when he saw it he ran to the place and without wasting time he told me daddy I want one for my birthday. Besides seeing it in the showcase, it brought back beautiful memories when we watched this fascinating and captivating movie as a family, we enjoyed it together with popcorn and soda. It was a much awaited movie in my city where the children enjoyed it very much and everyone could hear comments about it, although not only the children enjoyed it, in the movie theater you could see children and adults lining up to buy tickets.
In my house the child for several days after watching the movie was still talking about how much fun Super Mario was. In this mall we also found a toy store where my excited child didn't know what he wanted although honestly we didn't have money to buy either since the prices are very high. There were also some bags ideal to take shopping, to school or for a fun day at the beach.

Another important aspect of this mall is that it communicates Mariño Street with Bermudez Street, the main entrance is located on Bermudez Street and the exit is on Mariño Street but you can enter from both sides, also highlights a commercial establishment where they sell chocolate, if you want to find or buy the variety of chocolate the appointment is in this store as it has a wide range of products and prices in solidarity. In general the stores in this mall are related to the sale of footwear, technological equipment and some other stores where they offer cable, internet and telephone service.

One store that was very important in this mall where every time we went to this place we passed by was a pet store where you could see beautiful animals , I remember that on several occasions I visited this store and it was amazing the great variety of fish that these people had there. Also in the Ginan you can find a gym at the top where it was frequently visited by men and women to perform their exercise routine in order to stay fit and healthy.
The Ginan mall as well as other malls in the state have been forced to close some stores because the economic situation of the country is quite critical and especially in the years of pandemic many merchants of these stores went through a financial crisis and could not get out of this situation leading them to bankruptcy.
Although currently it could be said that downtown there is some economic recovery since many stores have opened and others have been incorporated and as I mentioned above, the stores of technological equipment stand out in this establishment.

The shopping center has a first floor and second floor. On the second floor was located the fish store, the gymnasium and service stores, the stairs have a spiral shape at the top, also both the steps and the handrail are wrought iron and wood. Itros important aspect of this mall are the escalators that currently do not work either, something interesting is that where these stairs are located on the roof there is a kind of blue cylinder that makes the Ginan very striking. The upper floor is made up of commercial premises with glass railings that allow a very wide visibility to the first floor. The first floor is divided into two large aisles where various stores are located.

It turns out that the malls in Venezuela are not much different from the ones in my city, even though there are actually several luxury malls, people prefer malls that look 'old' like that.
