Abandoned thermal power plant
Central térmica abandonada
This time it is time to talk about an excursion I made with some friends to the abandoned thermal power station of Aliaga. This power station was inaugurated in 1950 and closed in 1982 due to technical problems and obsolete installations. The main fuel used was coal extracted from the local mines around it.
Esta vez toca hablar sobre una excursión que hice junto a algunos amigos a la central térmica abandonada de Aliaga. Esta central se inauguró en el año 1950 y se clausuró en el año 1982 dado a sus problemas técnicos y a sus instalaciones obsoletas. El principal combustible que se usaba era el carbón que se extraía de las minas locales de su alrededor.

We left the bikes outside the fence. / Dejamos las motos en el exterior de la valla.
The impressive large building is 76 metres long and 36 metres high, impressive to look at from the inside due to the height of the roof. Inside it housed the machinery that was removed when it was dismantled, but the structure remains. To access it we have to go through a small hole in the fence, we have to be careful inside as we could fall from one floor to another or through a hole inside, also if it is windy something could fall on our heads.
El impresionante edificio de grandes dimensiones cuenta con 76 metros de longitud y 36 de altura, impresiona verlo desde dentro debido a la altura del techo. Dentro albergaba la maquinaria que fue retirada en su desmantelamiento pero conserva la estructura. Para acceder tenemos que pasar por un pequeño hueco en la valla, hay que tener cuidado en su interior ya que podríamos caernos de una planta a otra o por algún agujero en su interior, también si hace viento nos podría caer algo en la cabeza.
The majestic building stands before us, I love to visit abandoned places like this, they are risky but worth it. The great chimney stands in the central room where you can see that the weather and its use have eroded it.
El majestuoso edificio se muestra ante nosotros, me encanta visitar lugares abandonados como este, tienen su riesgo pero merece la pena. La gran chimenea se alza en la sala central donde se nota que las inclemencias del tiempo y su uso la han erosionado.
We went deeper into its facilities, captivated by that place we continued exploring, that building seemed big but it was even more immense than we thought so we continued with the adventure.
Nos adentramos aun mas en sus instalaciones, cautivados por aquel lugar seguimos explorando, parecía grande aquel edificio pero era aun mas inmenso de lo que pensábamos así que continuamos con la aventura.
This abandoned building had its charm, iron and concrete adorned this dystopian setting, always looking carefully at the ground so as not to trip, we were left open-mouthed by this lost place.
Aquel edificio abandonado encerraba su encanto, el hierro y hormigón adornaban este escenario distópico, siempre mirando al suelo con cuidado para no tropezarnos nos dejaba la boca abierta este perdido lugar.
Halls of devastated old machinery we discovered one after the other, always with a little fear of the unknown, you never know maybe someone used this building as a shelter and that's why you always have to be cautious.
Salas de antiguas maquinarias devastadas descubríamos una tras otra, siempre con un pequeño temor a lo desconocido, nunca se sabe puede que alguien usase este edificio como refugio y por eso siempre hay que ser precavido.
Now saying goodbye to this place, I strongly recommend you to visit it if you have the opportunity, I loved it and I would come back to explore it again more deeply, so I would photograph it better.
Ya despidiéndonos de este lugar, recomiendo encarecidamente visitarlo si tenéis la oportunidad, a mi me encantó y volvería para explorarlo de nuevo mas profundamente, así lo fotografiaría mejor.
And that's all for today, I hope you will follow my adventures, thank you very much for everything until next time!
Y hasta aquí es todo por hoy, espero que sigáis mis aventuras, muchas gracias por todo hasta la próxima!

Hmmm!! Always feel bad when I see and expensive abandoned building. At least, the government should use it for something or better break it down and use the blocks for filling of something etc
The town council of that town bought the building not long ago, I don't know what they planned to do, but it would be nice if it were a museum or something touristy.

Estos edificios siempre me han fascinado... a la ver que siempre me pregunto porqué no se hace nada con ellos más que dejarlos como un recuerdo matrecho del pasado.
¡Buena visita la que has hecho! Gracias por compartirla.
Dani.
Me gusta que se queden recuerdos de tiempos pasados, seguiré visitando sitios así, gracias por comentar!!
Excelentes fotografías , me han encantado en su mayoría . Definitivamente una buena experiencia Lara conocer y fotografíar.
es un sitio perfecto para sesiones de fotos
When I look at these impressive buildings I think how many jobs were there, how much production was done there, but now they are just ruins, and here in Romania there are such buildings abandoned and sold at very low prices, this is also the cause of very high unemployment in some areas.
This whole area of Spain was dedicated to coal mining, there were many thermoelectric power stations, and the mines were being closed at the same time as the power stations. It is a real shame because in many other countries they have continued to use them but not here. As a consequence, the area is suffering from depopulation.
Exactly the same phenomenon as in that area of Spain we find in some areas of Romania, those thermal power stations were closed, coal mines were closed and many people were left without jobs.
The mining towns today look like after the war, there is fantastic poverty there, young people have gone to other cities or other countries across Europe to work to support their families.
It is a real shame that all this happens in our countries.
Yay! 🤗

Wow
I don't normally like abandoned buildings as you never know who/what's inside, but this one is really spectacular
You are right but in Spain and depending on which areas it is not dangerous at all, thanks for commenting!

Muy buena tu publicación, interesante conocer sitios así, tengo varias preguntas:
gracias por compartir y leo tus respuestas para seguir aprendiendo.
Buenas perdón es en España 😅, no se requiere permiso para entrar, y tampoco tiene restos de radiactividad dado que funcionaba con carbón. muchas gracias ☺️
Gracias por las respuestas, no sé por qué lo asocié a radioactividad jajaja, tal vez demasiadas peliculas.
Ese sitio se ve increible para conocerlo, buen trabajo!
It is like seeing in pictures the technological evolution of mankind; the ghosts that remain of our actions to improve the quality of life in the past, the stories that tell how we have evolved.
I count myself, at this moment, as one more follower, yours @vonjerico
