Cable car within its hill station hanger.'s by rmoss

Sidi Ifni - Morocco, Tiznit The cable car hill station is an immense concrete bunker that would make a great museum. By European standards it is all remarkably un-vandalised. Although the cable cars and cables have deteriorated through rust and scavenging, the larger structures remain intact. According to Mohammed it ceased to work in 1970, a mere year after the Spanish left. The damp climate meant a heavy maintenance schedule. Lack of resources in the new Moroccan state, and the departure of Spanish engineering skills made its demise inevitable.
