The fog engulfs the Three Chimneys of the Besòs

In Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia we can see this perspective of the fog over Badalona and, especially, over the Three Chimneys of Sant Adrià de Besòs, which are covered in an unusual image.

Fog is a meteorological phenomenon, which consists of the suspension of very small droplets of water in the atmosphere or of humid hygroscopic particles, which reduce horizontal visibility at a distance of one kilometer or more.

If the meteorological phenomenon gives a vision of 1 km or less, it is considered as fog; and if it allows you to see more than 1 km, the phenomenon is fog.

Sant Adrià, located at the mouth of the Besòs river, between Barcelona, ​​Badalona and Santa Coloma de Gramanet, has as a major visual reference point the Tres Chimeneas.

This is the old thermal power plant, which was a conventional cycle thermoelectric installation located on the left bank of the mouth of the Besòs. It consisted of three thermal groups of 350 MW each. Owned by Fecsa-Endesa, it was operational between 1973 and 2011.

After the dismantling of the plant, the turbine room and its three iconic chimneys have been preserved, which are currently municipal property and are awaiting their new use.
