New walking route

Over Santa Coloma way, taking in Puig Castellar, which I’ve been doing informally for a while. Here are some photos:

Badalona

FECSA

Badalona

FECSA and Ryanair

Barcelona

There are other attractions, but the best bit about it for me are the views of the power station. I still find it the most important large building in the area, balancing Barcelona with the rest of the Maresme region, the chimneys a projection into the sky of the old delta. (As Pla points out somewhere, Barcelona is a Maresma conglomerate just like the [] de dalts and de mars, consisting of a seaside village with a posher one on the hill.)

   Very nice. What a photographable power station. Is this night on the bare mountain rather than dawn?
