Yes, the famous "Balls Butane" the road to Elche, are being dismantled. The factory has been closed for several years business strategy issues and these deposits, were erected in 1966 with the exception of larger than they were in 1971. Apparently, now bring cheaper gas cylinders in trucks from other factories quite distant (tailings or Tarragona), which package them right here in Alicante. I suppose that in addition to the benefits of consolidation and manufacturing, will also be influenced by competition from CEPSA cylinders, much more light (and beautiful) that own Repsol Butano, and the existence in our city gas pipeline natural increasingly widespread among us, not to mention the increasing presence abundant electricity for domestic use.

Current pictures of the "balls" that are still standing.

Very distant memory in my house, the use of coal, because, fortunately, my father loved everything modern and clearly one of the sectors that was changing rapidly in the 60, it was like home. And the first thing I remember as everyday was what my mother called "the fogaril", a contraption that runs on oil, which was bought in the coal (in my case in Paco, the C / Maldonado) going with the glass bottle with a funnel, put it to you. But things evolved and eventually became butane gas ...! No longer had to go for the bassinet of dirty coal, not the stinky oil bottle ... the energy was now clean and I brought it home a kind man. Kitchen models have evolved, only the stove first, then with oven ...

Here is an article of "The Truth" where things explained disassembly.
