Visited the long-awaited restored train station at Canfranc Estacion and I must say that it’s truly a jewel. Sure, some elements were removed and will be missed, but only purists will notice. They saved what they could, copied what they couldn’t, and have successfully created a beautiful space out of what has been an eyesore for decades.
Rooms run about 200€ and the bar/restaurant isn’t cheap, but it’s a one-of-a-kind place (at one time it was the largest train station in Europe). Best part is that Renfe is running two trains a day to/from there and the ride from Zaragoza via Huesca is a real treat.
Canfranc Estacion is also a great spot for starting your Camino Aragonés when the weather closes the Somport pass (or take a bus up to the summit and start from there). Plus you can stay at the nearly new donativo in Canfranc Pueblo, just an easy one hour downhill walk. It’s open April 1-Oct 31.
