ave train to Sevilla. Atocha station

we made it to the train station, got to the correct platform and correct train and correct coach!! this is a high speed train AVE to sevilla. The interior of the train station is magnificent full of indoor tropical plants. (7,000 plants) but we had no time to explore it as we had to make sure we got to the platform primera in a timely manner....LOL the atocha station was built in 1851 and was the 2nd railway line in Spain. wooden platform initially then expanded in 1865 and 1892 with the roof being out on. engineer was saint James...I'm sure not the st James! today it was refurbished in 1984 and 1992 and has the old section as offices and the new one is the actual station. was actually sprinkling rain as we pulled out but now just some clouds and sun. we should be in Sevilla in 2.5 hours!Read more
