Although this covered walkway doesn't look like much, it was one of the original attempts at making community interior/exterior spaces that link other public spaces. As you can tell, the roof is not meant to protect from the rain but it does provide some shade and seating for anyone in the plaza nearby the train station.
And this is...?
A DRAGON PLAYGROUND! Clearly, we played...you needn't bother to ask anymore! It had stairs and slides and it was ridiculously dirty from rain and muck, but it was a toy...a big toy...so we enjoyed it thoroughly.
Beyond the dragon is the continuation of a renewed industrial site which has become a great park for dog-walking or relaxing by the water...assuming that there aren't mosquitos here on normal days.
It is an interesting contrast...People-watching from multiple viewpoints...those who sit to watch from the bleechers, and those who walk to watch along the park at the water's edge...oh...and those who are, by choice are not, viewed from either side of the pond.
I am really going to miss the brightness and color of the buildings of Spain and the rest of Europe like this one in the park, which is an addition to one of the warehouse buildings previously used by the factory once standing where this green grass reigns...
and the grass IS the most protected aspect of the green spaces...these signs are super-typical throughout the public spaces.
On to the next stop...Bill grabs a cat-nap because we have a 20 minute bus-ride to the next site
