The Canfranc station, located in Spain’s Pyrenees, was once a grand project. In 1928 it was inaugurated with great celebrations, but soon after it was closed due to fire, war, and crises. For decades it was abandoned, and people called it “Europe’s unluckiest station.”
Years later, the station was given a new life. In 2023 it was transformed into a luxury hotel. Now it has a bar, restaurant, swimming pool, and leisure areas. It has become an attraction for both tourists and locals.
According to historians, this station was once one of the largest in Europe. It housed a hotel, customs facilities, and various service buildings. The station’s past is rich in historical events.
Today, Canfranc is not only a hotel but also a tourism center. Its restoration is also benefiting the local economy.
In the coming years, international trains are expected to return to the station. If plans come true, Canfranc will once again serve as an important stop making mountain journeys more attractive.
