It is a Telefonica building located in Plaza Artós. I do not know what they will do with this beauty, since these days they are working emptying the entire plant that was occupied with copper installation. These weeks in Spain are finalizing the definitive elimination of copper lines, in favor of optic fiber

Good pun. (It's for telephones)
What is them?
Thought the switches were chess boards for a moment and was really confused what kind of insane apparatus was built for them
