Recordist's notes
Constant noise from the thermal power plant of the Eco-Bulevar from Puente de Vallecas. A new neighborhood has been built over the old and recently destroyed Colonia de Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles, a social housing project from the 1950s. This new neighborhood includes a thermal power plant for heating purposes, with five big chimes. One of the houses from the old neighborhood resisted over the years to not being destroyed, but on October 2025 was finally demolished under court orders.
