Thank you so much for this nice topic. I really am proud to have the chance of living in the city of Malaga in Spain. This is one of the oldest cities in the country and is adorned by numerous structures. Recently we got a large building in the southeast corner of the city. This is a mega shopping mall that has different brands and local shops

The architectural design of the building is attractive. The outer of the entire building is made with glass. The 8-story building also looks gorgeous in the early part of the day. The sunlight reflection on the building is wonderful. The tower-like shape is able to arrest attention from everyone while the central heat controlling system provides comfort to the visitors

The building is a shopping mall, and this is the largest one in the surrounding area. A wide number of shops are available there. If someone wants to get the most expensive products, they can have it here. Besides, some of the stores in the mall have discounts too. The collection of local and imported products will amaze the visitors and shop lovers indeed

Well, I like the building for its outlook. But it hurts me when I remember that a large portion of the local natural environment was damaged during the construction. During the construction process, huge numbers of trees were cut down to make space for it. However, the facilities that we receive now are remarkable. The mall authority has also planted a notable number of plants around the building to compensate for the natural loss
