The new Gran Via metro station – What does it look like inside?
Finally the works on the Gran Via metro station are finished and as it is 3 minutes away from our bike shop Trixi Madrid we went to see it. Impressive!
It has several floors, 13 escalators, 4 new lifts and it is now connected underground with the train network “Renfe Cercanías Sol”.
Gran Via also has a small museum with archaeological remains found during excavations and a ceramic mural in the lobby representing the original entrance pavilion, designed by the famous architect Antonio Palacios 100 years ago.
The original pavilion was recreated in the new works and we can see the new granite structure right at the intersection of Calle Montera and Gran Vía, just a few minutes away from Trixi.
With this remodelling it is even easier to transport our bikes by metro or train and discover different neighbourhoods of Madrid. Don’t miss it!
