GahmuretDie lange Fensterreihe des Bahnhofs Canfranc in den aragonesischen Pyrenäen.
Er wurde damals nach dem des 1. Weltkrieg gebaut und niemals wirklich genutzt.
Lange war es ein berühmter Lost Place, inzwischen ist ein Luxushotel dort eingezogen.

Some "aerial" views of the day in #Canfranc.
#CanfrancEstación Inside the hotel is the restaurant El Internacional with more moderate prices, but still more expensive than surrounding restaurants that feel a bit more OG.

Back to the historical building of #CanfrancEstación - the hall has a nice atmosphere. The French and Spanish crest face each other. Underpasses are sadly closed. There are two carriages outside the station that host Michelin*/gourmet restaurants. I miss things like a historic timetable... Does anyone know where to find one?

#CanfrancEstación park presents various items, such as station gates, and coded messages to French officials are subtly passed on 😉 ¡Reapertura ya!

Back to #CanfrancEstación - the building looks now in very good condition, some would say it lacks a bit of patina ;) the surrounding tracks have been taken away and the area is now a park retracing the railway history. It attracts many visitors (on Aug 1st). All restaurants in town were full both for lunch and dinner. A fair amount of French tourists among them.

Now to my big surprise there are - at least at the moment, which is peak summer season - three departures a day of the "Canfranc Express" operated/commercialised by #Alsa with historic cars from AZAFT | ASOCIACIÓN ZARAGOZANA DE AMIGOS DEL FERROCARRIL Y TRANVÍAS https://azaft.org (an expert source tells me).

#CanfrancEstación - the one with trains - has been relocated behind the historical building in the area of the freight yard, close to the silos. The roof structure blends in with the surrounding buildings. There are - at least in summer - several tours a day about the history of the place.

... Has been converted into a five star hotel. I'm happy this saved the building from destruction. You're still allowed to *pass* through the lobby, and you can make reservations at the restaurants in and in front of the hotel. So it's a compromise I guess...
Here are some night shots. Hasta mañana.
