Recordist's notes

The first half of the cable car journey, from Sant Sebastia tower to Jaume I tower. You can hear the voices of other passengers, cameras, and the creaking of the cabin. Unfortunately I ran out of memory on my recorder so wasn't able to record the rest of the journey. Recorded with Zoom H4n
