Canfranc International railway station is a former international railway station in the village of Canfranc in the Spanish Pyrenees, at one end of the Somport railway tunnel which carried the Pau–Canfranc railway under the Pyrenees. Opened in 1928, the main building is 240 metres (790 ft) long and has 365 windows and 156 doors.

The site is mostly overgrown, but most of the buildings are largely intact and can be entered. The main building has been re-roofed, but is otherwise in a state of disrepair, fenced off and closed to the public except during guided tours in July and August.

Re: Canfranc International Railway Station

Thanks Durt. Very interesting find indeed. It would be very cool to see if the government does follow through converting the station into a motel.

Thanks for sharing.
