A sunlit sky in South Florida? Doesn\u2019t sound very out of the ordinary, we are the sunshine state after all, but in fact, it is extraordinary! <\/p>\n

Now hanging where the colorful Umbrella Sky<\/a> once was, is another lovely art installation by Portugal-based creative group, Sextafeira. Giralda Plaza in Coral Gables is now glittering in gold under The Sunlit Sky.<\/p>\n

Installed on Dec 14th last year, this sparkling display is\u00a0made up of 11,900 square feet of metallic mesh and 27,500 individual gold & silver strips that sparkle during the day and twinkle at night. The movement through the metallic ribbons when a breeze passes through the plaza is really quite mesmerizing. Take a look at this video I recorded during my last visit:<\/p>\n

It kind of reminds me of the best flapper girl dress I\u2019ve ever seen! Hah. (especially in time-lapse speed). <\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t had a chance to go see The Sunlit Sky, don\u2019t worry, there\u2019s still time. It will be up through March 10, 2019. So grab your family, a friend, or your selfie stick and go get some photos with this pretty backdrop before it\u2019s gone. Although I\u2019ll be sad to see it go, I am excited to see what\u2019s next for Giralda Plaza!<\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re headed out on a busy weekend, here\u2019s a tip on Parking from the City of Coral Gables<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Can\u2019t make it, but still want more glitter in your life, take a peek at #sunlitsky<\/a> on instagram and show some love to your favorites!<\/p>\n

Until next time! Happy Travels! Check out our North America destinations<\/a>!<\/p>\n
