Cable Inglés
Cable Inglés in Almería. A loading pier where iron ore was tipped from trains into the holds of cargo ships. This remarkable beast, which is currently being renovated, was literally the end of the line for the first electrified railway in Spain (which explains the "Cable" bit). The pier meant that 8,000 ton ships could be loaded in ten hours instead of two weeks.
However, celtic fundamentalists object in the strongest possible terms to the "Inglés" bit; apparently the railway was designed by the Glaswegian John Harrington and built in the equally Scottish town of Motherwell.
But it's still called the Cable Inglés. Another shot here.
