Cement
Here, taken on this walk, is a shot of Mexican multinational Cemex’s Sanson cement factory at Sant Feliu, where the Llobregat cuts through the coastal range:

Sanson and the Molins factory were major suppliers of concrete as the region industrialised, and this particular works has continued to play a major role in recent years. The chimney of Sanson’s original factory in Sant Just Desvern is clearly visible as you walk along the SE end of Collserola, but the rest of the old plant was demolished and replaced in the 70s by Bofill’s bizarrely-named Walden development.

En Barcelona como en otras partes comienza hoy la primavera, que en honor de la verdad no suele ser aqui la estacion mas hermosa del año. Cierto que ya los árboles comienzan á echar hoja, y que la linda y olorosa violeta alfombra los jardines y ribazos, y que le hacen cortejo otras flores; per...
Josep Pla, Palafrugell (1918-9)
- 21 de març de 1918 En aquest paÃs tenim un costum molt curiós. Quan ens trobem, al carrer, dues persones, cara a cara, no tenim, a penes, res a dir-nos. Però, una vegada acomiadats i fets set o vuit passos, se’ns ocorren tot d’una una sèrie de coses urgents a dir a la persona que hem deixat fa un moment. [...]
