Urquinaona Metro

Singer Sabina’s favourite subway station

 

Urquinaona is a metro station (lines 1 and 5) on Via Laietana, a street in downtown Barcelona that crosses the Ciutat Vella to connect Eixample with the port. The station has become one of the top dogs, as far as metro stations are concerned, because of its relatively central position. It has gained a bit more recognition as it bears the name of a former bishop of Barcelona; José María Urquinaona y Bidot and, anecdotally, the Spanish singer Joaquín Sabina evoked it in his song Ay Calixto on the album "Diario de un Peatón".
