A Coruña-San Cristovo Railway Station, 1935, A Coruña, Galicia, Spain

The A Coruña San Cristovo Railway Station was finished in 1935 and designed by architect Antonio Gascué Echeverría in a rationalist style. More information here:

It is a very pleasant terminus connecting A Coruña with central Spain.

Festina clocks are a fine feature of this station.

Main Post Office, 1927-1931, Plaza del Alcalde Manuel Casas, A Coruña, Galicia, Spain

This beautiful main post office in A Coruna was featured on a 2002 Spanish postage stamp. Built between 1927 and 1931 on land reclaimed from the sea, the architects of this eye-catching gem were Luis Lozano Losilla and Joaquin Otamendi Machimbarrena. All components of this large building, which is easily the best-designed construction in this part of the city, seem to flow easily one into the next, they are so well-coordinated.

The Savoy (1940), Holloway Road, Islington, London

Opened in 1940 as the Savoy, this was a popular cinema in Holloway Road until eventually being turned into a pub. It has a nice tiled frontage, but for me, the highlights of the exterior are the exquisite doors:

A nice little history of the building is provided here:

Cafe Imperial, Porto

There are multiple architectural reasons why Porto is worth visiting - too many to mention actually. But on the list and near the top is the Cafe Imperial in Liberdade Square. The only downside for me is that it is now a McDonald's, with the gold McDonalds sign positioned in front of the original 'Imperial' with its impressive eagle. Corporate global imperialism or what!? As long as McDonalds doesn't mess up the building, though - that's the important thing. It would be nice if it was just a coffee shop - being a vegetarian I don't exactly feel comfortable going inside, but the gorgeous art deco stained glass was certainly worth poking my head through the door. The building's exterior has some beautiful features, most notably for me the door and the windows, which all need some renovation but look basically sound.
