When industry gives way to tourism

Hello friends
My city was industrial years ago.
Shipyards.
Blast furnace.
Iron and metal.
This was my city 20 years ago.
Today, only the vestiges of that culture remain.
Culture of hard men.
Working in the blast furnaces.
Taming the metal.
This was one from his office.
A majestic house at the foot of the estuary.
Today turned into ruins.
His skin chipped by the passage of time

Cuando la industria da paso al turismo

Hola amigos
Mi ciudad hace años era industrial.
Astilleros.
Altos hornos.
Hierro y metal.
Así era mi ciudad hace 20 años.
Hoy en día solo quedan los vestigios de aquella cultura.
Cultura de hombres duros.
Trabajando en los altos hornos.
Domando el metal.
Esta era unas de su oficina.
Una casa majestuosa a pie de la ría.
Hoy convertida en ruinas.
Su piel desconchada por el paso del tiempo.

Its windows without crystals.
Like empty eyes looking at infinity.
***
Sus ventanas sin cristales.
Como ojos vacíos mirando el infinito

His great beauty remained behind.
As our pollution.
It is very sad to see her now.
Abandoned
Sacked
Broken into a thousand pieces.
***
Su gran belleza quedo atrás.
Como nuestra contaminación.
Da mucha pena verla ahora.
Abandonada.
Saqueada.
Rota en mil pedazos.

Its roof taken by the wind and the climate of the north.
It does not do the work for which it was created.
To cover the workers of the inclement weather.
***
Su tejado llevado por el viento y el clima del norte.
Ya no hace el trabajo para el que fue creado.
Para tapar a los trabajadores de las inclemencias del tiempo.

Tourists stroll through the rich seeing the last vestiges.
From an industrial culture that was left behind.
Leaving many families without their livelihood.
Now the tourist is the one who gives wealth to our city.
Could we call it recycling?
Adaptation?
Or simply new times.
***
Los turistas pasean por la rica viendo los últimos vestigios.
De una cultura industrial que quedo atrás.
Dejando muchas familias sin su sustento.
Ahora el turista es el que da riqueza a nuestra ciudad.
¿Podríamos llamarlo reciclaje?
¿Adaptación?
O simplemente nuevos tiempos.

How sad this building was left to go to ruins, with visitors coming to the area even though the old industry is gone, new industry in handcrafts, farmers markets and similar could have taken residence in here.

Stunning photography @txatxy never nice to see an area lose their livelihood to change.

I at least spent a lot of money in Northern Spain last year! Este año vamos viajar por Aragon y Catalunia. Hasta luego!

Cool photos my friend!

Greetings.
