About:
The Elevador del Monte de san Pedro is a 100m inclined elevator located in the northwest Spanish city of A Coruña. First opened in 2007, it connects riders from the waterfront to a city park and has an annual ridership of 250,000.

Every Thursday, the Gondola Project team will select stunning captures of CPT lines. We hope this will continue to bring more attention to the technology and provide visually impactful examples of cable car systems worldwide. If you’d like to submit or nominate a picture for our “Photo of the Week”, we’d love to hear from you. Leave a comment below or send us an email at gondola@creativeurbanprojects.com.

    It is not exactly a CPT: there is a cable but it is not the main propulsion mean. The car moves with a cog wheel on a rack.

    Yeah you could say we cheated a little. ;). It’s really just a cool picture of a bubble cabin that we had to share (with a cable component of course!).
