In the mid-20th century, Quito grew quickly. Industrial areas and crowded popular barrios developed to the south of the city. To the north, Quito spread up a wide valley bordering the dormant Pichincha Volcano. Originally, farmland dotted with villas built in fanciful Spanish, Moorish, or 1930s modern architecture, this area is rapidly becoming Quito’s modern center. The U.S. Embassy is located here, close to El Ejido Park and the Hotel Hilton Colon. The Rio Amazonas shopping district runs from the park through a modern business center of high-rise office buildings that offer a variety of restaurants, shops, banks, and sidewalk cafes. Avenida Gonzales Suarez, Bella Vista, Quito Tenis and El Bosque are the areas where most of the diplomatic community lives. The Post and Its AdministrationLast Updated: 1/13/2004 1:22 PM [Read More]
