• Turismo en Chile
• Puertecillo: Todo lo que necesitas saber

A sólo 160 kms. de Santiago, la capital de Chile, Puertecillo es una larga playa de arena negra entre grandes acantilados y mar abierto, con un pueblo de pescadores en el lado norte.

Puertecillo está ubicada dentro del Fundo Topocalma en Navidad, provincia de Cardenal Caro.

Fue descubierta por surfistas a fines de la década de 1980. En el extremo sur de la playa hay una larga punta izquierda de fondo de arena. En los últimos 20 años, varios surfistas han construido una comunidad orientada al surf.

Desde que se construyó la carretera a través del bosque y tendieron líneas eléctricas hace varios años, ahora hay pocas casas y un puñado de residentes (menos de 100), y unos pocos turistas, la mayoría surfistas.

Hay unos 3 restaurantes, una pequeña tienda, un par de oficinas inmobiliarias y algunas casas. Las playas siguen estando vacías en su mayor parte.

Esta localidad ha permanecido aislada del resto del país, gracias a la dura geografía y a las terribles carreteras de acceso. En el extremo sur de la playa, una punta izquierda rompe a lo largo de cientos de metros.

El Rincón empezó a atraer a surfistas chilenos e internacionales a principios de los 80, y algunos se quedaban durante meses, acampando o alojándose en alojamientos precarios.

Antes de las previsiones de surf, el aislamiento y la inconstancia de las olas en comparación con los puntos más expuestos de Pichilemu y la cercana Topocalma, combinados con las duras condiciones de vida, significaron muy pocos asiduos y prácticamente ningún desarrollo relacionado con el surf durante años. Es decir, hasta hace poco.

Punta Pertecillo

Alojarse en puertecillo.

En mayo de 2014, años de rumores de desarrollo se convirtieron en realidad cuando las excavadoras comenzaron a trabajar en la primera etapa de un proyecto estimado de 300 viviendas llamado Punta Puertecillo.

Punta Puertecillo se encuentra en un terreno de 7.500 hectáreas llamado Hacienda Topocalma que incluye 15 km de costa virgen.

La Hacienda Topocalma fue adquirida por la Inmobiliaría Cerro Verde (ICV) en 2007. ICV es propiedad y está dirigida por el acaudalado chileno Jorge Galmez, que también es propietario de Mallsport, Balthus Gyms, Ready Dock, ProNautica y Siete Veinte, todas ellas entidades de éxito en el mercado mundial.

Aunque Punta Puertecillo es una pequeña parte de un terreno mayor, también es la zona más preciada y querida de este tramo de costa único.

Si vas a visitar puertecillo, tienes algunas opciones de casas bastante grandes y aisladas con un costo algo elevado.

Pero si lo que te interesa es gastar menos y disfrutar realmente de las olas y la playa las opciones más variadas las podrás encontrar en los campings de la zona.

Barcelona 2 day itinerary: how to spend 2 days in barcelona.

Barcelona captured my heart.  I first lived there for a year as a student, then later I returned to spend 4 years in this magical city before I left to go travelling.  Using all my years of experience in the city, I have put together this Barcelona 2 day itinerary to cover the highlights so you can get a taste of what the city has to offer.  Although there are so many things to do in Barcelona it’s impossible to see everything, I’ve tried to narrow it down so you can get the most out of just 2 days in Barcelona, including some of the top attractions and my favourite places to eat and drink.

I will say though, that if you can spend any more time here I highly recommend spending at least 3 or 4 days in Barcelona to properly explore.  

Know Before You Go to Barcelona

Before travelling to Barcelona, make sure you book accommodation and popular attractions ASAP as hotels and tickets can sell out.

⭐ TOP 3 BARCELONA ACTIVITIES TO BOOK IN ADVANCE:

1: Park Guell Admission Ticket – colourful mosaic terraces and gorgeous views

2: Sagrada Familia Skip the Line Ticket  – a must-see in Barcelona!

3: Casa Batlló Entry with Self-Audioguide Tour – stunning Modernist Building & rooftop terrace

⭐ DAY TRIPS FROM BARCELONA TO EXTEND YOUR STAY

1. Montserrat Tour with Optional Lunch & Wine Tasting

2. Girona, Figueres and Dalí Museum Day Tour

3. Girona and Costa Brava Full-Day Tour

❗BEWARE OF PICKPOCKETS❗

Although Barcelona is a safe city, pickpockets are a problem here, particularly in popular tourist areas and on the metro.  Use a  theft-proof backpack and consider getting some hidden-pocket clothing to keep your belongings safe.

Things to do in Barcelona in 2 Days

For the purposes of this Barcelona 2 day itinerary, I’ve assumed that you will be spending a weekend in Barcelona and planned the activities as such – if you come to Barcelona on different days of the week then be sure to check opening times as places like the Boqueria Market are closed on Sundays. 

I’ve tried to mix up this Barcelona itinerary to include some of the more typical Barcelona attractions, while still exploring a lot of the different neighbourhoods in Barcelona.

You’ll notice that I haven’t included any museums in this itinerary – for your first trip to Barcelona, I’d recommend spending as much time as you can outside on the streets and soaking up the atmosphere.  Football fans may also be horrified by no mention of Nou Camp, so feel free to chop and change this itinerary to best suit your own Barcelona trip.

Barcelona 2 Day Itinerary: Day 1

A walk down the Rambla is a must for first-timers; it is the most famous street in Barcelona but it gets crowded and busy, so make this your first stop in the morning.   It is also a popular street for pickpockets in Barcelona , so watch your belongings at any time of day! 

However, first thing in the morning La Rambla is blissfully quiet, and you can grab some breakfast at the wonderful Boqueria Market.  Later on in the day, La Rambla fills with stalls, living statues and throngs of people, so if you stay in the market for a while you are bound to see it getting more lively!  Start off at Plaça Catalunya and walk down towards the sea.

La Boqueria Market

This wonderful market is firmly on the tourist trail, but for good reason and one of the best free things to do in Barcelona .  There are still local people here doing their shopping, but they do have to fight their way through the crowds of tourists! 

If you want to take photographs of the stalls, it is polite to ask or to buy something from the stall owners.  Make sure you stray off the main walkways as the market stretches way beyond the first two rows!  You could pick up some food for breakfast or a picnic-style lunch here or at the very least some fruit for a snack.

Port Vell & the Columbus Monument

At the bottom of La Rambla is the statue of Christopher Columbus, pointing out to sea – not towards the Americas.  You can go up to the top of the monument for €6 to enjoy lovely views of the city, or simply stroll by it.  From here, turn left and walk along the port front. 

Port Vell means Old Port, but it was actually built for the 1992 Olympic Games, when the whole of the beach and waterfront was redesigned and rebuilt.  Now you can admire the boats docked here, including some insanely big super-yachts!

Lunch at La Xampaneria

Can Paixano, affectionately known as La Xampanyeria thanks to the delicious cava they sell, is always stuffed to the brim with locals and tourists alike.  If you like it cosy (read: jam-packed) and don’t mind standing up to drink or being trampled on a bit, the cheap cava and delicious sandwiches are worth the scrum. 

You can pop in here just for a glass of cava, but order 2 glasses or more and you need to get some food too.  As well as sandwiches there are also plates of tapas such as cheese, morcilla black pudding and croquetas (cheese and ham potato croquettes). All the tapas are served in generous portions, and a meal works out at just over 10 euros for a bottle of cava and 2 tapas. 

If that sounds like too much, then head to the nearby neighbourhood of Barceloneta.  For delicious tapas, try La Bombeta  or  Bar Jai-Ca  which are probably equally busy, if a little less raucous. At least they have seating, although you may have to wait for a table. 

Barceloneta

Barceloneta is the old fishermen’s neighbourhood, with straight narrow streets and blocks of small apartments.  You can visit the market here which is less crowded than La Boqueria or walk through the streets to the beachfront. 

I love to just look at the sea in Barcelona, although there are plenty of beaches here the water isn’t that clean, and as you’re only in Barcelona for days I would suggest leaving the sunbathing for another time, but sitting for a while on one of the benches to enjoy the sunshine is very pleasant indeed. 

If you’re not bothered about seeing the sea, you could skip Barceloneta altogether and go straight to Ciutadella Park.

Ciutadella Park

This large park is one of the few green expanses in Barcelona.  It’s often filled with picnicking families and groups of friends enjoying a drink and a smoke, and if you’re lucky you might catch some live music or a street performance of some kind. 

Stroll around to the lake and the Cascada Monumental fountain, keeping an eye out for some unusual statues like that of a woolly mammoth.   

Arc de Triomf

From Ciutadella, walk up Passeig de Lluís Companys to the Arc de Triomf.  It isn’t quite as iconic as the Parisian version, but I love the red brick of this one.  It was built as the main entrance for the 1888 Universal Exhibition hosted by the City, and now stands tall – usually surrounded by people taking photographs, human statues and a street musician or two.  From here, walk down through El Born.

The Born neighbourhood is a maze of streets, filled with boutique shops, eateries and bars.  The old Mercat del Born is now a cultural centre since renovations uncovered Roman ruins beneath the foundations. 

The Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar is a lovely church which inspired the novel, and you can go up on the roof for wonderful views of the city – if you get there before 5.15pm when the last tour leaves.  If you’re too late for the tour you can enjoy walking around or have a glass of wine and admire the church from below.

Dinner and Drinks in Gracia

Gracia was its own town before it got swallowed up in the “expansion” and was joined to Barcelona by the Eixample district.  It still has its own personality and has much more of a local atmosphere than the areas closer to the centre. 

There are various Plaças where you can have a drink and a bite to eat, but if you want to try something typically Catalan, head to La Vermu for an aperitivo drink of local vermouth then to my favourite place for traditional Catalan food – El Glop .  

Choose from a wide menu including grilled meats and a variety of rice dishes but I suggest you skip the paella and go for the Black Rice – a rich rice dish made with squid ink, cuttlefish, clams and prawns.  Order it with a side of aioli garlic sauce and a starter of bread with tomato and you and will not regret it!  Booking in advance is recommended.

Afterwards, if you still have the energy for a cocktail, try El Ciclista or Bobby Gin for a Barcelona style huge gin and tonic.  I’ve got a busy day planned for tomorrow, so don’t overdo it – you want to be up early and ready to go for the rest of your Barcelona itinerary! 

2 Day Barcelona Itinerary: Day 2

Your second day in Barcelona is all about Gaudi.  Gaudi’s architectural style has left a lasting mark on the city, and his influence is everywhere.  He’s not the only Catalan architect though, and this Barcelona itinerary will also give you a chance to see some of the other incredible buildings here.

Parc Güell is one of Gaudi’s masterpieces, originally designed as a kind of magical housing estate commissioned by Gaudi’s patron Eusebi Güell.  Only three of the houses were built, yet the gardens surrounding them are beautiful and include some stunning mosaics, the famous Gaudi dragon and the mosaic terrace. 

Most of the park is free but the iconic terrace and dragon statue are in the paid section.  It costs 10 euros to get up close to those areas (discounts for children and senior citizens are available), and you will need to reserve a time slot in advance.  Don’t miss exploring the rest of the park, and head up as high as you can go for the best views of Barcelona. Book tickets online here .

The park is open from 7.30am in the summer, 8am in shoulder season and 8.30am in the winter.  I’d advise getting there as early as you can before it gets too busy.  An early start also means you’ll be able to fit more into your day!  It also seems that if you arrive before the official opening times above, you can access the paid area for free, but it might still be dark then.

Check out these Park Guell tour options:

Once you’ve finished here, take the metro down to Diagonal.  Change lines and head to La Sagrada Familia.  You can also walk if you’re feeling energetic! 

La Sagrada Familia

La Sagrada Familia is Gaudi’s famous cathedral and is absolutely stunning inside & out.  You can just wander around the outside if you like but inside is definitely worth seeing – book a visit slot in advance online t o avoid horribly long queues. 

Inside, you can see how nature influenced Gaudi’s designs.  From the soaring tree-like pillars to the colourful stained glass windows producing rainbow colours as the sun shines through the panes.  If you want to go up one of the towers for beautiful views of the city, you’ll need to buy the audio-guide ticket which includes tower access.

Cheaper tickets are available which don’t include the tower access, but it is totally worth it.  Children under 11 go free, and discounts are available for students and seniors.  

Lunch at El Puertecillo

Depending how much time you choose to spend at Park Güell, you may want to have lunch before or after going to La Sagrada Familia.  Whatever you decide, don’t miss lunch at El Puertecillo  – if you like fish!  This is the best and cheapest seafood restaurant in the city. 

They have a counter like you might find at the market where you point at what you want – prawns, calamari, mussels, crab, lobster etc, as well as incredible tuna steaks and monkfish.  They cook it simply and quickly and call out your number for you to pick it up at the counter.  Not classy but amazing food! 

However, if you don’t eat seafood then there are some other excellent restaurants near la Sagrada Familia , including El Glop and Sagradas Tapas.

Passeig de Gracia, Casa Batlló and La Pedrera

After lunch, a stroll down Passeig de Gracia is the perfect way to let your lunch go down.  If you haven’t had lunch yet, then go another street over to La Rambla de Catalunya to eat. 

Assuming you’ve had lunch, start from where Diagonal meets Passeig de Gracia and head down towards Plaça Catalunya.  First, you’ll come to Casa Milà, also known as La Pedrera, which means ‘the stone quarry’ then further down is my favourite building in Barcelona – the glorious Casa Batlló . 

You can admire these striking buildings from the outside or buy tickets or a guided tour to see inside.  I’d recommend booking online in advance if you do want to go inside, and these tour options might be useful for you:

Casa Batlló Entry with Self-Audioguide Tour

La Pedrera-Casa Milà Ticket & Audio Guide Option

Casa Batlló is one of a trio of buildings which make up the ‘Block of Discord’, as each building was designed by a different Modernist architect.  

Casa Lleó Morera  by Lluís Domènech i Montaner,  Casa Amatller  by Josep Puig i Cadafalch and  Casa Batlló by Antoni Gaudí are not only in very contrasting styles but are also considered signature pieces by each of the men, with the name of the block hinting at the competition between them all.  Continue down Passeig de Gracia to Plaça Catalunya.

Palau de la Música Catalana

Not far from Plaça Catalunya, is another stunning Modernist building, designed by Lluís  Domènech i Montaner.  It was built between 1905 and 1908 and has an incredible stained glass roof inside, as well as beautiful details throughout. 

A guided tour is €20 per person and lasts for just under an hour, and is well worth the money.  Alternatively, if there is a performance on in the evening you could get tickets for that.  The last tour of the day is at 3pm (check the times and availability) so be careful not to miss your slot. 

If you book your tickets more than 21 days in advance you can get a discount too, so the early bird catches the worm!  Visit the official Palau de la Musica website here .

The Gothic Quarter

The Gothic Quarter is a great place to explore, impressive buildings and lots of boutique shops, cool bars & restaurants.  I used to live there & it’s still my favourite part of town, although it does get busy!! 

Chocolate and Churros

After all that walking, perhaps you’re in need of some sustenance – how about hot chocolate and churros?  Thick gloopy hot chocolate and finger-shaped donuts to dip are heavenly, and you’ll find some of the best in Barcelona on Carrer de Petrixol at La Pallaresa or Granja Dulcinea. 

Basilica de Santa Maria del Pi

The nearby Basilica de Santa Maria del Pi is a beautiful 14 th Century Gothic Basilica which you can take a look inside for €4.50, or just stroll around the square.  There is often a food market or artists selling paintings here too.

Gothic Cathedral & Surroundings

The cathedral is another magnificent example of Gothic architecture, towering above the square.  The square often hosts special events such as wine tastings of Christmas markets if you visit Barcelona in December, or you can wander around here freely to explore the narrow streets and hidden gems.  

Plaça D’Isidre Nonell has a beautiful mosaic artwork called The Kiss, Plaça de Sant Felip Neri is a peaceful square near the cathedral, there is the ‘fake’ gothic archway near Plaça Sant Jaume and the impressive Plaça del Rei.  

Dinner at La Vinateria del Call 

Let’s stay in the Gothic Quarter for dinner, one of my favourite tapas restaurants is the Vinateria del Call , hidden away in the old Jewish Quarter behind Plaça Sant Jaume.  It is a popular place for tourists and locals alike, so it’s best to book a table if you can. 

Choose from a range of tapas dishes including local cheeses, Catalan specialities and morcilla blood sausage.  There aren’t too many options for vegetarians, but cheese and meat-lovers will be happy here.  The waiter will recommend a wine to go with each course and make sure you save room for dessert – the chocolate fondant is to die for!

If you fancy a drink or two after your meal, there are plenty of bars in the Gothic and Born areas to explore, including the famous Paradiso which was rated as the best bar in the world.

Well, that’s it!  There are so many other wonderful things to do in Barcelona that I simply could not fit into this itinerary – so you definitely need a return visit!  What do you think, have I missed anything that definitely should be included on a 2 day Barcelona itinerary?  I would love to hear your thoughts, please leave your comments below.

“Now called Puertecillo - amazing seafood” Review of La Paradeta

The seafood is the star: this place is not fancy, think tile floors, plastic tables, an ice counter. Choose your fish/seafood, pay by weight, only bread and salad available as accompaniments (both good). Superb quality seafood, well cooked and very reasonable. Decent wine/sangria and non alcoholic options. Don’t be put off by the name change.

3 - 7 of 4,363 reviews

Food is amazing and they treat you well. You will not be disappointed by the fresh seafood made to order.

At this restaurant you choose your fish from the counter which they then cook for you. You can order several dishes and they will come out more or less in sequence. Once you've chosen your seafood (you pay by weight) you can order drinks etc before paying. We had prawns, squid, tuna and a grilled fish, all were great, and together with a bottle of wine less than 40e for 2 people. Its not a romantic dining location, you need to collect your dishes as they come out of the kitchen, but its authentic and good fun.

The place is basic but serves absolutely wonderful seafood! Do not go here so have a cozy dinner. Go here to eat great seafood and with that your dinner will be great! The place is now called Puertecino.

Basic service. Select the produce you want from an array of fresh fish and seafood. Decide how you want it cooked and then move on to select drinks etc. take a seat and wait to be pleasured by the food as it arrives. No table service, you have to collect everything but seriously worth it.

Traveling Back in Time: Exploring the World through Vintage Tourism

Vintage travel has been experiencing a resurgence in recent years with people longing for a simpler, slower pace of life. It may be the nostalgia that comes with the vintage aesthetic, or perhaps it is the appeal of a time when traveling was considered an adventure where the destination was just as important as the journey itself. Whatever the reason, vintage travel offers a glimpse into the past while still enjoying modern conveniences. From vintage train journeys to retro car rentals, there are many ways to experience vintage travel and step back in time to a simpler era. In this article, we’ll explore the joys of vintage travel and how it can help you slow down and appreciate the world around you.

Exploring the Charm of Vintage Travel

Vintage travel is all about taking a step back in time and experiencing the glamour and allure of the past. From old-fashioned trains to classic cars, vintage travel options give travelers a taste of a bygone era, providing an insight into how travel used to be and how much it has evolved over time. In this section, we delve deeper into the world of vintage travel, exploring different means of transport, accommodations, and experiences that transport you to a different time altogether.

1. Vintage Trains: One of the most memorable ways to experience vintage travel is by riding on classic trains. From the luxurious Orient Express to the iconic Trans-Siberian Railway, vintage trains not only take you to your destination but also offer a scenic journey with an unmatchable experience. Embark on a journey through picturesque landscapes, mountains, and rivers, and feel the history of these heritage trains come alive.

2. Classic Cars: For those who prefer the thrill of driving, vintage cars are a perfect option to explore the world. From vintage convertibles to stylish roadsters, driving through scenic routes in a classic car can make any road trip more special. Many cities offer classic car rentals to make your vintage travel dreams come true.

3. Retro Airplanes: Experience what it was like to fly during the golden age of aviation by opting for a vintage airplane ride. From the Pan Am Boeing 707 to the DC-3, these airplanes come with retro features and design elements that add to the overall charm.

4. Art Deco Hotels: Vintage travel is not just about transportation but also about accommodations. Art Deco hotels provide a unique way of experiencing vintage travel, with their retro decor and furnishings taking you back in time. From the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel to The Ritz-Carlton in Miami Beach, these hotels are symbols of an era gone by.

5. Steamboat Cruises: Cruising on a steamboat is another way of experiencing the charm of vintage travel. A popular option in the 19th and early 20th centuries, steamboats offer a glimpse of what travel used to be like during that era. Explore the waterways and ports of call while enjoying the timeless elegance of these vintage boats.

6. Vintage Theme Parks: Vintage theme parks take you back to a time when amusement parks were simpler but nevertheless fun. From the iconic Coney Island to Disneyland, these theme parks have been around for decades, offering a unique experience of vintage fun and excitement.

7. Steam Trains: Steam trains are another excellent way to experience the nostalgia of vintage travel. Journey through scenic landscapes and historic routes on board these powerful machines for a glimpse of the past. The Jacobite steam train in Scotland and The Flying Scotsman in England are two of the most popular routes for steam train travel.

8. Vintage Buses: Vintage buses are a great way to explore cities and towns while keeping the vintage travel vibe alive. From the iconic Routemaster in London to the colorful VW Kombi in Rio de Janeiro, these buses provide a unique way of touring and sightseeing.

9. Vintage Cameras: Vintage travel is not just about means of transport and accommodations, but also about capturing memories. Use vintage cameras to capture your travels, like classic Polaroid cameras or old-fashioned film cameras for a unique twist on standard travel photography.

10. Vintage Clothing: Finally, add a touch of vintage to your travel wardrobe with vintage clothing. From vintage dresses to retro hats and accessories, embracing the fashion of the past can add to the overall vintage travel experience. So, get ready to go back in time and travel in style!

5. Planning your vintage travel adventure

Before embarking on a vintage travel adventure, it’s important to do your research and plan accordingly. This includes choosing the right mode of transportation, accommodation, and activities that align with your interests and budget. You should also consider the logistics of getting to your destination and any special considerations, such as visa requirements and travel insurance.

6. Where to go for vintage travel

Vintage travel is a romantic and intimate way to travel, making it an ideal option for couples. Whether it’s a steamy ride on a vintage train or a luxurious cruise on a classic yacht, vintage travel provides the perfect backdrop for a memorable and romantic getaway.

8. Vintage travel for families

Vintage travel is also a great option for families. It’s a unique and educational way to expose children to different cultures, history, and ways of life. A family trip on a vintage train or boat provides plenty of opportunities for bonding and creating lasting memories.

9. Vintage travel on a budget

Vintage travel can be expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. There are ways to experience the charms of vintage travel without breaking the bank. For example, taking a road trip in a vintage car rather than a luxury train or cruising on a classic ship can save you money while still providing a vintage travel experience.

Puertecillo

One-stop-shop of surf perfection

Puertecillo sand-bottom point is best when the sand gets a chance to settle after the intense winter storms, and when it's on, it rivals any left sandbar tube anywhere. It's further tucked in than Punta de Lobos, so while it does get less swell, the swells are super clean by the time they start wrapping around the headland.

When it's on, it's pretty much tuck in and go. There are also a few nearby point breaks that can be easily explored. Its basically the reason why I live in Chile.

The adventure

The trip begins with a pick up at the Santiago airport. After that, we will immediately head to a Puertecillo lodge, where we will get settled in and start our surfing. The idea is to be in one area with great surf per day. Eat, surf, sleep and repeat. This is the best plan in this relaxing place.

Puertecillo is basically a small surf community in a tiny town. People here are mostly well-to-do surfers that own vacation homes in this area. The city was discovered by surfers in the late '80s and surf is a big part of the local culture.

There are a few great restaurants with a limited but delicious menu. There are a couple of hangout bars, but most of the social scene is held at homes of the local community.

Accommodation

You can choose between a charming surf lodge or a great rental home. Walking distance from the beach and surrounded by the fantastic nature of the Puertecillo region, these accommodations are fully equipped and have a great area.

No matter where you are staying, you will have a great time and amazing surf.

Getting there

Otero guiding.

I am Alex Otero, originally from the Dominican Republic now settled in Chile. Film and photography have been my profession for the past 30 years and surfing and windsurfing my passion for the past 40. My love for nature and great surfing brought me from the Caribbean to Chile, where I feel the earth and the person become one.

The Pacific coastline of 2,700 miles (4,300km) and the breathtaking Andes Mountains make this a unique experience for anyone and everyone. I have been exploring this country thoroughly as a surfer and as a documentary photographer for decades, even before moving here permanently. I love being a host and sharing with people the natural gem Chile is.

Excellent print quality on heavy paper. Much better than I could imagine. Love it! Very pleasant transaction and super speedy delivery. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you!

Jessica (Pasadena, United States)

Great quality, color is awesome. The communication was quick and easy through messaging about details. Shipping was also super quick, felt like it was in the mail the next day! Im very happy with my experience and poster print.

Peter Spielmann (Bronxville, United States)

Just as pictured. Even better, I asked for it in a larger size (the size of the original poster) and the vendor was able to produce it. Good communication and ready to please. It is now framed and hung, and am most happy. The image was about $39 and the frame about $30; my investigation into this began when I saw an original poster for sale for $1,500, but the original had a bit of wear and damage that is not in this reproduction.

2.7k Views 2 Comments

Moscow was the center, heart, and soul of the Soviet Union in the 1950s. The country was recovering from World War II , and moving towards the rapid development and prosperity. The city housed the headquarters of the Soviet secret service, the KGB, and the developing nuclear and aerospace breakthroughs of the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

New architectures, theatres, skyscrapers, and hotels were built in the city during the 1950s. The Hilton Moscow Leningrad kaya, one of Moscow’s Seven Sisters Skyscrapers, was also built-in 1954. Moscow also hosted the 1957 Ice Hockey World Championships and 6th World Festival of Youth and Students.

Husband + Father + librarian + Poet + Traveler + Proud Buddhist. I love you with the breath, the smiles and the tears of all my life.

Wow! What kind of development and prosperity are we talking about? Even in the 1980s, toilet paper was still hard to find in many parts of the country even though production started in 1969

Amazing! Westerners sure are obsessed with toilet paper! Well, you like the butt stuff anyway, right? However, the country rebuilt and developed rapidly after World War II, especially considering how much of the European part was razed in that event and how nearly a whole generation of men got disabled. In the late 1960s, living standards and human development were far above the global average. All of my relatives have nothing but good things to say about those times and the 1980s. Although, unfortunately, so many resources had to be spent on defence, it was unavoidable given the continuous threats from Western imperialist aggressors. It was either that or got “Untermenschen”.
