Chimenea de la antigua Fábrica de Energía Eléctrica - Málaga, Andalucía, España - Lonely Chimneys on Waymarking.com

ES: "La chimenea de la Malagueta es el único vestigio que queda de la primera fábrica productora de electricidad en Málaga. Actualmente se encuentra constreñida entre bloques de viviendas, de 12 plantas, de los años 70 y un edificio de la Compañía Sevillana de Electricidad, de tal forma que queda impedida casi completamente su percepción.

El tramo de chimenea que emerge sobre el nivel del espacio público podemos dividirlo en tres partes; base, tronco y boca. La base es de planta cuadrada de aproximadamente 3,5 metros de lado, diferenciándose en dos partes separadas por imposta. La parte inferior presenta un acabado de pintura sobre enfoscado, salvo los primeros metros en los que se dispone un aplacado de piedra blanca. En su cara sur se adosa un banco corrido aplacado de losetas cerámicas vidriadas.. la parte superior que ocupa solamente un cuarto del cuerpo de la base es de ladrillo visto refractario rematándose con una cornisa de poco vuelo sobre la que se apoya el resto de la chimenea. En las esquinas se disponen unos pináculos de forma redondeada pero acabados en punta que se adosan a cuatro de los ocho lados que conforman el tronco de la chimenea. Este es de planta octogonal con forma levemente tronco-piramidal, de unos 30-35 metros de altura, con aristas vivas y un aparejo inglés a basa del mismo ladrillo refractario."

EN: "The Malagueta chimney is the only vestige that remains of the first electricity-producing factory in Malaga. It is currently constrained between 12-story apartment blocks from the 1970s and a building belonging to the Sevillana Electricity Company, in such a way that its perception is almost completely impeded.

The section of chimney that emerges above the level of the public space can be divided into three parts; base, trunk and mouth. The base is square in plan, approximately 3.5 meters on each side, differing in two parts separated by an impost. The lower part has a painted finish on plaster, except for the first meters in which there is a white stone cladding. On its south face is attached a continuous bench covered with glazed ceramic tiles. The upper part, which occupies only a quarter of the body of the base, is made of refractory exposed brick, topped with a low-profile cornice on which the rest of the panel rests. chimney. In the corners there are rounded pinnacles with pointed ends that are attached to four of the eight sides that make up the trunk of the fireplace. This is octagonal in shape with a slightly trunk-pyramidal shape, about 30-35 meters high, with sharp edges and an English rig based on the same refractory brick."
