Tours Gaudi

Barcelona's Gaudí station is a fascinating example of a subway station that was completed but never opened. During the planning of Line 5 in the 1960s, the structure was finished, but because of its close proximity to the existing Sagrada Familia station, the decision was made against regular service. Today, Line 5 trains still run through the tunnel but don't stop there. The upper lobby now houses an office for retired employees of the city's transit authority. The facility is not open to the public, which makes it a quiet secret of Barcelona's underground history.
