A hotel towering over the Kordon at Alsancak. There is much building activity and some high rises seemed about to raise their heads. On the other hand, the plan to have a motorway on struts spoiling this and any other view you'd have of the sea front has been given up. This "monument to the human folly" (I quote the Lonely Planet Guide), a plan of some mayor, has been given up, some struts remain.
