Residents report noise and smoke from generators beside Rayo Vallecano's stadium
Residents of Puente de Vallecas report a situation that directly affects their daily lives. Three electrical generators installed beside Rayo Vallecano's stadium produce constant noise and smoke, especially on European competition matchdays.
The problem gets worse on match days. The generators run for hours and the smell of diesel spreads to nearby homes. Some residents say that dirt even builds up on their windows and façades.
According to neighbours, the generators are located just a few metres from the buildings, which could be in breach of municipal regulations on emissions and minimum distance. Despite having filed complaints, they have not received clear answers.
The issue has also been raised at the political level in the district, but the problem persists. The images shared show several generators installed on a narrow street, concentrating the impact in a very specific area.
Neither the Ayuntamiento nor the club have given any definitive explanations. Meanwhile, residents say that the use of these generators increases during international matches, which makes the sense of neglect even worse.
This kind of conflict reflects a common tension in neighbourhoods with large infrastructures. The coexistence of mass events and everyday life depends on quick solutions, as the impact of noise and pollution is felt every day by those living next to the stadium.
