Estación del Norte

Trains first chugged into this richly adorned Modernista terminal in 1917. Its main foyer is decorated with ceramic mosaics and stained glass – and mosaic "bon voyage" wishes in major European languages. The wooden ticket booths are especially lovely. Don't miss the ceramic paintings by Gregorio Muñoz Dueñas in a room to your right as you enter.
