The construction of ALBA, the 3 GeV Synchrotron Light Source near Barcelona (Spain) is proceeding according to schedule. The works for the building started in June 2006 and access to the building for installation of the 100 MeV Linac is expected at the end of 2007. Most of the machine components are already under construction and several have already been delivered. This report will concentrate on recent design developments, component choices and current status. Also the results on the first prototypes will be discussed. Other papers at this conference deal with accelerator physics issues and vacuum design.
