Largest railway station of Spain, Atocha has grown into a major transportation hub close to the heart of Madrid.
When I got out at the station and looked south, an intense autumn morning light was shining on Atocha station. Trees with lamps appeared like frozen with a layer of white over them. But the temperature was actually nice, and I walked past the station. Workers were busy on the outside of the old terminal building. The original entrance looked majestic, with an enormous window with beautiful classical clocks. On the roof, names of the cities served originally were cast in iron: Madrid, Alicante, Zaragoza. A little further on, I noticed a pillar-like glass structure in the middle of the busy street; it turned out to be the new monument in memory of the victims of the 11 March attacks 2004 when commuters were struck hard at Atocha and stations down the lines from here.
