Actually for me it is a very valuable building as I live nearby and I grew up observing how this hotel deteriorated, my mom tells me that it was abandoned. Then in the year that I was born in 1992, people inhabited it to do satanic rites and do their things inside, it was also inhabited by people who had vices of alcohol and drugs and once they raped a girl inside the hotel until they sealed it completely doors and windows, but it did not last for a long time because later in 1996 it was inhabited by low-income and homeless people; I remember as a girl passing by and seeing those people living inside the hotel, after that there was a fire inside the hotel and it was evicted as the hotel was degraded over the years and cause of the fire. Currently, there are no people living there, their doors are sealed and the floors are unsealed, there is only one door through which you can enter but there are some debris and it is very dark inside and places to be careful as we do not know what on the floor and we could get hurt when entering. I think it could be a cultural museum because it has a lot of value in the land of the beloved sun.
The first time I was in 2013 was done by the side and people had broken blocks to access, visit the hotel and walk through its corridors is like the feeling you feel to see the titanic images that part of the film where the camera focuses the titanic at the bottom of the sea and as it goes through its corridors the image telenstransporta and becomes what really was the titanic, good for me is something like that, to enter feel like the sad and desolate environment the more I go through it, I imagined how it must have been in its best years, something really beautiful; According to the stories of some people have told me that they could live and see this structure in his younger years. Many say that when you enter you feel a heavy atmosphere, and people who have sensed things inside or just do not enter because of that scary feeling, I was not afraid to enter since I did it after visiting a book fair at the Lía Bermúdez theater with my younger brother and two friends my brother's fear was that a drugged person could come in and hurt us.

The second time I went in 2014 alone with my 11-year-old cousin, she wanted to visit him after being inside on her first floor just being in the room where Carlos Gardel, my cousin, was staying alone in the room I call myself and immediately, I'll see what happens and she said that something strange was heard I did not hear anything the moment I entered, I took a picture and then there was a strange noise, she tells me you saw that sound. Actually it was not normal but I said for sure they are pigeons so they do not get scared and immediately we went out the side door.
This part was not entered is the basement door but do not enter because he had no flashlight and in truth to look in that door inside you could not see anything was all black
We found this access but sealed
More rooms this time between the other half of the building
avenida unión
techo
that's the door that happens to us for the other half at the moment where I'm standing to take the picture I'm located what was the soda fountain or the bar
in the same place but turning the camera to the other side I remember how the bats passed me on the ground was completely full of debris but I went ahead
the separation is observed that it was like a hallway towards a garden or central courtyard
turning the camera towards the front a wall
some stairs I drive up immediately we climb
one room only
another hallway but this time it looked like it was the kitchens and rooms of the employees
it also seems where they washed clothes
in this photo a door was observed that sealed the hole with very small blocks but it looked like the garden or the central patio that connected with the hall that I told you above or perhaps where the clothes hung we went out and found the door on the side
Then in 2015 I met a fellow photographer who told me that she wanted to enter a building that she saw one day when she was passing by 3Y Avenue and that she had taken a photo of her, she tells me that after being in her house she sees the photo to post on Instagram she looks at a strange figure as in the air and is amazed the public, not knowing that it was the Hotel Granada and Maracaibo are many houses and abandoned buildings did not know which of all was, I told him that as soon as he got home he sent me the photo by whatssap to see it, my longing to see the photo kills me since I love everything old and abandoned I wanted to know more ...
She sent me the photo and nothing more and nothing less was the Hotel Granada itself, I am in amazement because the figure that she told me that it looked strange was above the room of which my cousin had heard the strange noises ...
in the picture you can see the time it takes to capture your instagram this was for the days of December 2015
Currently I have not entered more.
All the photos I leave in this article were taken with my cell phone Nokia c2 with 3 megapixel camera which was my best companion. I wanted to go in and I've been through the front a lot of times with friends I briefly tell him his story but when entering the building by the side door they get scared because they feel the negative sensation of the environment and they dread going on.
The first images were taken from google he internet I do not leave the link because these photos have been published on Facebook for years and steemit is the first page that I see asking for copyright or request to show where we get the information , I see something very valuable because it keeps your credit to the person or page.
Here I leave a link of a video in 3D reconstruction.
