I know you guys see a ton of graffiti so you have an aversion to it. But for the rest of us, it would have been cool to get a small tour of some of the better rooms in the spa. There's only so many blank walls one can look at. Graffiti is and always will be part of urban decay. I understand that you don't want to encourage it but🤷♀️.
The first location you've visited, the SPA used to be in much better condition back in the day, there was a security guard every day with three dogs, he used to ask people for money to get in but atleast he protected the building from being vandalised. Recently, about three years ago, the guard died and the owner of the land never replaced him. When people started noticing the spa was totally unprotected, Raves started being celebrated there once again, that's why the place decayed so so much. I remember visiting this place when i was 13, my very first introduction into urbex, no graffittis, no as much debris, It was truly magical and I am so sad you don't get that experience out of it nowadays. If you're more interested in the place I have pictures of it's former glory to share, as well as a pamflet from the 20s! Thanks for covering this place Proper People!
Never think that you're disappointing your audience by acknowledging the place you are exploring isn't all that great. Maybe it's not as beautiful as you wished it was or perhaps it's been destroyed by people with spray paint. Always share your expectations and what you ended up actually seeing and experiencing. Amazing footage and editing you guys! I'm excited for the next. 🍻
Agreed! It's always so much better to be honest about the experience and take it for what it is, instead of forcefully trying to make it look more appealing to the viewer and being disingenuous
In the power plant, it was great that you included some pictures to see how it looked when in operation. I like seeing the before and after and it can be hard to imagine the places you guys show use to be in operation and had life.
I should have checked for this comment before I added mine lol Definitely a film set. Governments lease these locations for production all the time, and that absolutely looked like a set. It wasn't just a bunch of random people who all decided to bring chalk and continue the same thing. Someone had to put a lot of hours into that, which requires payment, which means it was their job, which only comes back to set design IMO.
21:39 someone's been scribbling in the margins, but I'm looking at that wall and seeing someone working out the frequency of a dual tank oscillator and the amplitude decay, I suppose of it losing power when de-energized. Some derivative calculus in there too, derivatives of rate over time around that little asymptotic graph look to be sine wave theorem. Next to the left there's a quadratic equation in the middle, thought I saw some maxwell equations around, there's some scalar products, a cauchy inequality... hell of a course someone was giving in there, if that's what was going on.
@@danielparsons5466 I cannot verify the 'truthiness' but someone had enough knowledge to put real formulas and real graphs close enough to each other in the proper order to assume they know what they meant. It's like, I can see in a garage there's a Nissan Sentra with an engine and transmission next to it, and can identify a 2.0L engine, a 5 speed manual trans, and a clutch kit sitting between them. I figure the clutch kit's for the car, and I probably couldn't actually install the thing and reassemble the car without some deeeeep instructive assistance (or the shop manual and a few days) but the guy who started the job will probably be done by evening. I know exactly what it is, but if I tried to solve it I'd be bodging my way through with no guarantee I didn't miss something important.
This was the first channel I ever subscribed to, and it remains the one I'm the most excited for when I see a new video. Hard to find explorers with dignity, respect, but a real sense of adventure.... and in your case with such a body of quality work. I recommend you guys to everyone I know. Stay safe and please don't stop!
I gotta be honest, my favourite part of this exploration was the graffiti murals this time. Obviously some of it is just stupid vandalism for the sake of vandalism, but some of those pieces are stunning and in a place so empty and gutted I find it a lot more interesting to look at - definitely a lot of time and talent into some of those pieces
Go look at an art gallery...... Stop supporting people who degrade our culture and destroy cultural sites when they're not contributing to social decay in cities.... People wonder why our quality of life is so miserable. Beauty has been replaced with ugliness.
Incredible work as always guys. I can understand the intricate architecture at the spa but the care and ornate detail that was put into the power plant is insane, and it was out in the middle of nowhere! They definitely seemed to have more pride in their work back in the day, now we just build things to function and that's it. It could be argued that we are now much more efficient and use less natural resources but it's kind of sad how we don't build things to be as aesthetically impressive as they were functional back in the day. I know this has been said a million times but I just love your guys' maturity, respect and just general vibe. I, and I'm sure most people here can't stand the immature "Hey Guys!" RU-vidrs. You guys are truly on the next level. Please don't stop and please stay safe. Much respect from New Zealand. :)
It’s my contention that older buildings were built by trained craftsmen who took pride in their work. Modern buildings are designed to be constructed by illiterate day laborers.
power plant was a thermoelectric plant. Its first two groups , of 10 MW each, came into operation in 1952. At the time, it was the most important and modern thermal power plant in Spain , with a boiler room 76 meters long and 36 meters high. In 1958, its third group entered service, with a power of 25 MW, which brought the annual production to 280 MWh. However, coal production from the area's mines soon became insufficient for the plant's demand (900 MT ). The road transport of coal from other basins then began, considerably increasing the costs of electricity production The plant was an important economic boost. its region, which had 2,000 inhabitants, many of whom lived directly or indirectly from electricity production and the coal mines. After 30 years of operation, its definitive closure was decreed in 1982 , at the end of its useful life, being relegated to the most absolute of oblivion
I come here for the photography. Because it is technically superior, it is artistically successful. Thank you for conveying appreciation of the architectural achievements of the past. Your content is so consistently interesting, I am always excited to immediately click on your new videos. Thank you so much!
Alright, the spa resort was a vandalized dud but the exterior of the power plant looks dope in that barren landscape! And even if it is stripped inside, it still gives some nice desolate vibes and good images of decay. I like it!
@@dannydougin3925 been in a Coma or something for 30 years? People say that and it's fine. No different than "That's Cool" which has continued use as an expression of endearment first introduced by our Grandparents & Great-grandparents.
this is exactly what I'm expecting from a good urbex video. dead silence and live commentary. no 10+ minutes long loop music, no creepy background ambiance. silence. like I was there, at the place itself. the power plant was beautiful, I can't believe this entire building remained in this state, without being guarded or anything. incredible. where I live, IF any abandoned building remains....it's just taken to pieces by vandals. quality video, really liked it!👏👏
While watching your footage, I never look away for even a second. I don’t want to miss a thing! Always compelling irrespective of the “damage” to the building.
I love you guys, you have great videography and you don't over-comment/narrate. Love that you also do some research of where you're exploring and succinctly convey that to us without droning on and on like so many other channels. I excitedly await every new video from y'all!
I love these abandoned exploring videos so much I have been watching you guys for a few years now and its so peaceful when seeing places others haven't filmed before. Keep up these great exploring videos!
You guys are the best! You have a free place to stay if you are ever exploring in the Southwest Florida area. Luxury resort style accommodations with continental breakfast daily.
AAAHH I'm so happy to see you doing urbex in my country. I'm a fan fro Spain and I always wondered if you would ever visit. There are some Spanish urban explorers but you guys have the best urbex content!!
You guys should go explore the abandoned Universal Studios Dubailand. The project stopped construction in 2016. The park was expected to have been completed by 2010 but that never happened until Universal Parks and Resorts announced in 2016 that Universal Studios Dubailand is cancelled.
@@kilrahvp I know but I really want Universal Studios Dubailand to be explored by The Proper People. The site shouldn't be in the hands of security since construction was cancelled in 2016. I don't know if it will ever be built or not.
@@Collector3476 But there is nothing to see at all, not a single building was built, the only thing there is a small entrance arch. 2016 is when the project was cancelled for good but construction stopped basically immediately after starting in 2008 and nothing happened since.
Some of that "crazy jibberish" on the blackboards was real electronics diagrams that will work, along with sign waves, fourth root & cube root all used correctly so I'd say whoever did it had a fair idea of what they we're doing 😉
@@Pantheragem ☺️ I feel like it was a physicist or electronic engineer who just wanted to get away from it all to sort something out, maybe 🤷♂️ They can be very random people
This is the best urban explore channel I have ever seen! Your videos are cinematic, you go over the history, you know when to leave and you guys don't goof off in dangerous places like other youtubers. Great job guys!
I love how you can tell what was supposed to be where because you've explored so many power plants. They are some of the more interesting videos you make in my opinion - but they're all great! Love the old architecture and designs within the structure. A bygone time.
I was at that powerplant in 1991 or 1992 when i was in the area for a geological survey. I remember seeing the smoke stacks inside, but I have no recollection of seeing the turbines. I do remember seeing a lot of ceramic plates for electrical insulations, it looks like the place was stripped a bit more since I was there. I took a few pictures, and can look them up if you're interested. It was my one and only urbex experience so I don't think I took a lot of pictures, but I still remember the smoke stacks and the desolation of the place.
I've been watching you guys for a very long time, and I have to say I am extremely proud of you. Y'all have been bringing me to places that I would never have been able to see and for that you are truly my heroes.
seeing you guys upload is always genuinely a pleasure. I love urbex so much, but i've explored everything near my home within miles radius. Its always nice to see what cool things you guys find.
OMG! That power station review has me giddy. When you think about the energy that went into conceiving of such a place: designing it to the last detail; no, minute detail. Subtle aesthetic details; required brute-force machinery. The bulk of the shell. The people whose lives it impacted. And now the whisper of a reminder. Thank you for sharing. We can never relive the past, only be voyeurs of it's shadow.
Just wanna say thanks for continuing to upload videos of all these places you guys find, been watching the channel for a couple years now and it's always a treat seeing videos from you two, amazing editing/music choices too as always
WOW, that level of power plant stripping was off the charts. I could just see the conversation now, Strip everything! Everything sir? Yes, Everything. Later at the plant, Bob what the hell are you doing? Getting the rebar out of the concrete sir!
Lovely architecture in both places. The power plant captured my imagination by far, and I really appreciate the photos of the turbine hall and control room in their prime. I've never seen such a place so "stripped" as this plant. The enclosed yet wide-open spaces and spans were enchanting to me.
Hey my 2 favourite explorers I always look forward to your new videos. you guys are the kings at urbexing .. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us all x
I travel full time for my job and I bought a camper so I can bring my mattress with me. Aside from just the niceness of bringing all my things and my own space with me, what made me start considering it was the terrible mattresses in a lot of hotels and airbnbs. Being able to bring my own bed with me is SUCH an upgrade.
I do love the whole exploring crew on RU-vid but for some reason you guys make your videos very professional and serious yet funny sometimes! Love the edits and the details! Keep up the good work!
I fell fourteen feet 20 years ago and broke my arm in the process. It hurts just looking at those holes. Love your channel though. The architecture and low key music is soothing.
I like watching all your content , but my favourite videos are the ones with industrial settings. Power plants , steel mills , etc . They are just so cool once they’ve aged.
Looks like a combination of algebra, calculus and trig. But of course, it's been a long time since I took those classes. Another good investigation guys. Looking forward to the next one.
I don't always comment on your videos, but I like and am subbed...you guys amaze with the places you explore, made my day to see this upload! Pretty sweet buildings here...and not a drop ceiling in sight. 👍😁
The abandoned power plant reminds me of the Forbidden Explorers special you did on the incomplete Power Plant. The shape and angles of the building had its own ethereal attractiveness.
Once again, another great video. I would’ve loved to seen the spa not be so destroyed. I bet it was beautiful before the taggers and time got to it. Power plant was neat…would’ve been cool as well had it not been stripped. Thanks guys, definitely worth the wait!
The second part of the video... that is probably one of the most abandoned buildings you have ever done so far. And so untouched... Thanks for bringing us along. ✌️
You guys always impress with your finds and commentary. BUT, I would totally have a hard hat on. One small chuck of that ceiling comes down and.... Best of luck and keep up the good work.
Would love to see you explore Galicia, not much of it is documented like this, and there a lot of interesting ruined buildings near Ourense and A Gudiña. Im from that area so it would be cool to see some documentation :D
There even used to be a train stop at that Balneari, it was just a small platform for people to get off. Trains go through without stopping all day long
@@pinballdan It was built in 1870 and it's on it's own way down in a big way, there were some signs on the structure as they were walking through that I wouldn't have gone past, and I'm not talking about the collapsed wooden floors. Arches that are no longer in compression, diagonal cracks in vertical beams, a concrete pillar bowing into a hallway...
