Needless to say the owner of #Transhumance Hotel (+Café - Restaurant) in #Bedous is a complete railway gaga.

Happy to confirm that there is indeed a #RailFreight activity in #Canfranc. First two pictures show a convoy that was not there yesterday (third picture).
#SilosDeCanfranc #Somport
Otherwise a cute discovery was the municipal pool of #Canfranc. Entry is 3.50€, you can order paella 🥘 and the locals play football next door. Sadly we came after closure.

#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.
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 […]

To my great pleasure the entry of the #TunelDeSomport was accessible. It seems the area around was used for the recent modernization works and you can just walk in. I had never been so close to a tunnel entry. Caténaire midi still standing at its exit […]

The Iberian gauge tracks have been remodelled and also reach the #SilosDeCanfranc where occasional freight happens (loading french corn 🌽 on trains to Spain) - if someone can confirm this info?

#CanfrancEstación park presents various items, such as station gates, and coded messages to French officials are subtly passed on 😉 ¡Reapertura ya!

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) […]

#ExpresoDeCanfranc seems like a good idea to attract tourists to the idea of getting to Canfranc by train. For the stretch between Zaragoza and Jaca, the bus is more competitive as it cuts through mountains on newly built highways where the train circles […]

#CanfrancEstación
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 […]

#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.
#CanfrancEstación
... 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 […]

❌ Una conductora choca contra la pared del túnel de #Somport y corta el tráfico durante casi dos horas.
Fin de la concertation !
Le sujet a été longuement discuté en réunions publiques et sur les marchés 🙌 bel effort de transparence !
Hormis qqs spams/boomers sur le site des contributions, les avis sont pertinents et devront être étudiés pour envisager sereinement une réouverture🤞
