Publication in Fogonazos a post about ' a palace on rails for the bath real 'in San Sebastian, brought I recall how the San Sebastian was the first to install the first shuttle-cable car transporting people from history.
The September 30, 1907, in an atmosphere of great expectation, opened this amazing mode of transport that covered 280 meters of vertical distance and 28 in three and a half minutes, connecting two high points of Mount Ulia, then a boom special place as a recreational area.

The designer of the funicular was the famous English engineer Leonardo Torres Quevedo , who also directed the construction of the first dirigible English. Such was the success of the shuttle, which Torres Quevedo developed as many in Chamonix, Rio de Janeiro and which today crosses Niagara Falls, the English Aerocar ( see video).
But just 15 years after being launched, which they called "aerial tram" in San Sebastian began closing. The Ulia park lost power as a leisure area for Amusement Park Mount Igueldo, which could be accessed precisely (and still is accessed) through a more conventional funicular opened in 1912.
San Sebastian, avant-garde in the middle of Belle Epoque.
