This cover did I discover on the sidewalk near the Rambla. Probably fairly old since no wheels have worn it blank. I brushed it clean and photographed it while two young girls stood laughing. Then they asked and I could tell about the world wide family of quirky manholes bloggers.

Along the river Llobregat

The cover represent a great brine collector plant in order to improve the water supply to Barcelona:
The Llobregat is a 156 km long river, which supplies 35% of the Barcelona's drinking water needs from the Sant Joan Despí Water Treatment Plant. Since the establishment of the Salt Mine Works in the Llobregat basin in 1923, a progressive salinization of the water sources has been recorded. The operation of the Brine Collector, as a public work carried out by Aigües de Barcelona (AGBAR), started in 1989; it enabled a very significant improvement in the quality of the surface water used for drinking-water production. Photo taken at Navarcles in may 2015.
