A jungle in a station.

Did you ever expect a (small) jungle in a station? This is the Atocha station in Madrid. On the outside it looks like a quite normal station. Well it is enormous.




The building feels "warm" because of the red colors of the wood, the metal and the stones. During it's lifetime it adapted to the local movement of the earth. 


On the inside it gets even more interesting.... 


An amazing space opens up. Around the corner there is a large jungle like space.


Palms and other exotic plants.


Here you can sit and pretend to be in a forest. Waiting for your train to leave or just to take a rest from the busy city (when it is raining).


Buy something to eat or read in one of the kiosks.


It is obvious that, especially when you travel with children, it is a must to visit the turtles floating on their overcrowded artificial islands.



An official stands here all day looking at the timetables....


Yes it is time to go to the platform!


The train will and leave this small jungle behind. 


Have a good trip!!
