  1. #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.

  2. 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?

  3. 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 azaft.org (an expert source tells me).

  5. #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.

  7. Indoors are worn but clean. The buttons allow the reclining of seats. The fixation of the table is a bit strange and in my feet.
