RE: Visiting the Cumaná Shopping Center *** Visitando el Centro Comercial Cumaná.

Impressive mall dear @belkyscabrera. It was as if I was there with you while you were narrating to us your architectural tour. The Traky store in that establishment is absolutely huge! Imagine taking 6 hours to completely cover everything. And we're only talking about one section. With that amount of time, I could also watch 3 regular movies at the same building, haha 😁

That shopping complex is simply well-designed for the whole family as it offers amenities that cater to kids as well as adults. 👍😊

Due to its massive size, does that mall have an attached hotel, condominiums, or residential apartments?

Hi @storiesoferne, the Traky store, is very big and the departments are well organized with so many exhibits that capture the attention and have so much to show; in the high seasons (Christmas and back to school) you take up to 12 hours to buy; as the queues to pay are long, the first time I visited the store was at Christmas; We were a group of friends, we entered at 9 in the morning and left at 5 in the afternoon, we had to see each department of the store in turns while one of us was waiting in line to pay, in these seasons the prices are very low, and it is the perfect opportunity to buy the children's toys, clothes and household items, when you go shopping at this store you know you are going to be several hours away from home.

There are no hotels near the mall; only exclusive residential complexes, the hotels are towards the center of the city and getting from the hotel to the mall is quite close. Seeing the movie is an excellent idea to enjoy the time, thanks for the tip, ha ha.

It is a place to go as a family, while one group does the shopping, another stays with the children, then they get together again to share a delicious meal, thank you for your visit.

Happy and blessed day!

Definitely @belkyscabrera, that mall is massive and would take a considerable amount of time to enjoy everything there, especially during the holiday season. 😊

The reason why I asked about the presence of residential towers is that in some countries like the Philippines, some of these housing complexes and hotels are directly attached to the large shopping centers, providing ease of access, comfort, and convenience to their tenants and homeowners. Thank you for showcasing this marvelous piece of architecture! 👍

Hi @storiesoferne, yes, in the Christmas season you should be prepared to spend several hours in the store.

I think there is a mall in the city that has residences; in Anzoátegui state (which is very close to Cumaná), malls are usually located near hotels and main avenues to facilitate access and lodging for tourists and visitors.
