Estación de Atocha was Spain’s first railway station, originally named Estación de Mediodia, but sadly burnt to the ground not long after it was built. They got it back up in 1982 – thanks to Alberto de Palacio Elissage and some other dude, Gustave Eiffel somebody – I think he built a tower somewhere else.

Come refurb time in 1985, an architect, Rafael Moneo, had the bright idea to convert the old building into a lush, tropical greenhouse – to make waiting more comfortable. Known simply as ‘The Jungle’ – it covers around 400 square meters with more than 500 species including carnivorous plants, goldfish and turtles
