Museo del Ferrocarril

The location couldn't be more perfect or poignant for this railway museum, set in the disused Delicias train station with its air of faded elegance and a bygone age. The station opened in 1880, but closed down less than 100 years later in 1969, opening again in 1984 as a museum. Exhibits include the restored locomotives, model railways, railway equipment, film footage and memorabilia you would expect. Additionally, there are various curiosities, such as a room of clocks (including the one that timed the firs- ever rail journey in Spain, from Barcelona to the nearby town of Matar�). Perfect for kids, much of this is a hands-on experience and they are free to climb inside the engines. The museum caf� serves drinks in an old restaurant wagon. METRO: Delicias
