I'm working in Spain this week and this is my first visit here. I was aware of what was used here but the sheer amount of insulators still on poles is amazing. I'm sure many collectors will know they are based on North American designs and I've seen literally hundreds of CD 154's on poles, both wired up and abandoned. Although I have limited spare time and I don't have my proper camera I will try and take as many pictures as possible.

This picture shows a very typical pole with North American style sidepins full of CD 154's. So far I've seen tons of these sorts of poles along roads and I only wish I had some way of climbing the poles because those without wires would surely be worth climbing.

I also have a very nice rental car made by Germany's finest.
