Office block (part 2), Madrid, Spain
I loved the well painted graffitis there, and the views from the rooftop over Madrid were amazing. Definitely the best of my so-called urbex career! The second place goes to the match factory's rooftop in Tampere. One thing that I'm curious about was those antennas on the roof. Why would somebody put antennas on the house that isn't even completed? Interesting. But I have to admit that I didn't even go to the highest point of the roof. There were scary ladders and I could see the ground from them, eww...
And the second thing is, where have our readers and their comments disappeared? You seem to like Finnish places better than these from abroad, or am I wrong?

Office block (part 1), Madrid, Spain
Visited by jonahi 8.8.2012. Full of graffitis and empty or broken beer bottles, this ten-storey block building in the heart of Madrid was a popular photography spot for local young people, and I noticed it and the folks standing on the rooftop from far away. The building was clearly unfinished (something to do with this economy crisis?) but it looked like it was meant to be an office building but never got that far, so there wasn't so much to see inside. This place reminded me a lot about the Tacheles art centres house in Berlin, only without the other art apart from graffitis.
(I apologize for the clumsy photo editing, but I was testing my new editor on these...)

Abandoned building and a boatwreck, Utila, Honduras
Visited 10.7.2012 by jonahi. This was again one of those many places that have never actually been anything, just an unfinished building sitting on the rocky beach of the crystal clear Caribbean Sea on the beautiful Utila island. I have no idea what this grey concrete monster was meant to be before the money perhaps ran out, but I'm quite sure that the somehow cute wreck Captain Berto has someday lived a good boat life and sailed a lot of high waves. Actually the building wasn't even abandoned, that lizard seems to have the yard as a home.
