Thats Iquique in Northern Chile and its not a bad spot either, do you not think the people look a little different to the spanish? Had a great three days there in 2001.

But back to the point I have always admired the plazas planned by the spanish as the open design and high percentage of paving vs lawns is conducive to circulation of large numbers of people in all weathers.

The second linked image reminds me of say thomas st open and probably chocked with traffic now. I definitely prefer the plaza model of a central park similar to Wolfe Tone St but generally surrounded on four sides by streets.

The roundabouts were just a short term solution which we are now paying dearly for.

At least €37m for red cow, which is only the first,
