That moment - to this ... may be years in the way they measure, but it's only one sentence back in my mind - there are so many days when living stops and pulls up and sits and waits like a train on the rails. I pass the hotel at 8 and at 5; there are cats in the alleys and bottles and bums, and I look up at the window and think, I no longer know where you are, and I walk on and wonder where the living goes when it stops.

The arrival of the XI International Brigade in Madrid

The XI Brigade finished their very rushed training the 3rd of November. It was composed of three batallions: Edgar André (Austro-German), Paris Commune (Franco-Belgian), and Dombrowski (Polish-Balkan), under the command of general Kléber, a Ukranian Jew member of Soviet military intelligence, real name Manfred Stern. The three batallions in turn were led by Hans Kahle, Jules Dumont, and Boleslav Ulanovski, respectively. That very same day, president of the Republic Largo Caballero gave the order to the XI Brigade to go to Madrid. In the night from the 4th to the 5th, went by train from Albacete to Alcázar de San Juan, and from there were shuttled by truck to the towns of Vallecas and Vicálvaro, where they were posted for three days. Even there, to the west of Madrid, they experienced the bombs and planes of the fascistic side, they were looming over Madrid.

The 7th of November, as they had feared, general Valeria had launched an assault on Madrid with 5 columns. 2 advanced on the southern bridges, while the other 3 attempted to take the open spaces around Casa de Campo in the east, take the French Bridge and access Madrid through the new university campus, and the neighborhoods of Argüelles and Cuatro Caminos. That very same day, what came to be known as the miracle of the Defense of Madrid started.

1,900 international volunteers traveled from Vallecas to Atocha Station, in Madrid's southwest edge. When they took formation in the station's esplanade, they did not know the results of the previous day's fighting, not even if the city had already been accessed. While they had a warm coffee and it rained lightly but coldly, they were able to see Stalin's portrait hanging on the National Hotel's facade. After a rally by Kléber, and the rain had stopped, they began their march towards the northeast. As they marched through the streets, some people warned them not to slip on the wet streets. It was early in a Sunday morning, but as it moved to midday, more people began to populate the streets, and cheers began to be heard from windows. From Atocha, they marched through the Paseo del Prado to Cibeles fountain, they turned into Gran Vía up to Telefónica's building. From here, all foreign correspondents would transmit their reports, and its height served as an advantageous position to spot for the artillery. It also received numerous strikes from the fascist artillery.

Along the Gran Vía, New Zealander correspondent for the London Chronicle, Geoffrey Cox, heard shouts "Long live the Russians!". He saw women with teary cheeks from emotion, one of them raised her small daughter, who raised her fist. The Yugoslav Veljko Ribar (Karl Anger) would note "Those old ladies with closed fists filled us with bravery and determination". Cox, who heard orders being shouted in French, noticed they were not Russians.

Once at the city's east, the battalions distributed themselves as follows: The Paris Commune Battalion defended the sector between the San Fernando Bridge and the Faculty of Philosophy; the Dombrowski Battalion was in the center, between the Faculties of Philosophy and Medicine; the Edgar André defended the front between the Model Jail and Cisneros roundabout, with their main focus being the French Bridge and the East Park. The 11th of November, according to the diary of Kléber's helper, Gustavo Durán, the fascist artilleray began to batter their positions at 12:20 with 10'5" and 15'5" shells.

The official report for the night of the 8th says: "The columns that defend Madrid in the south and southwest have suffered a terrible attack, carried out by effective forces with air support and tanks. Our forces have valiantly weathered the clash, maintaining their positions along the entire front. At midday, the Republican troops made a counterattack, taking new positions and capturing a tank along with its occupants. Morale is excellent, and today has been a harsh trial, the enemy has ended it gravely broken". The arrival of the XI Brigade fortified this morale, and in the 9th it had to defend against the first charge: Valera's forces crossed the Manzanares river through the French bridge and made it all the way to the Model Jail (today the headquarters of the Air Force). Heavy fighting ensued, in which both Spanish and International forces participated, but by next morning, the remaining assailants were forced to retreat back across the river.

Train arriving, Atocha Station

Madrid, Spain -- 11/19/11

[septembriseur]

I’m in Spain for a work thing. I flew into the Madrid airport, and I had kind of a tight connection to make: my flight landed just before 8 PM, and the last train from the Atocha train station to Barcelona, where I was spending the night, left at 9:15. From the airport to Atocha is, on paper, a 30-minute commuter train ride, so it seemed like— again, ON PAPER— as long as my flight landed on time, I should be okay.

I reached the commuter train terminal at the airport at 8:15. Great! There were commuter trains scheduled at 8:17, 8:32, and 8:47. I got to the platform. Apparently, I had missed the 8:17 train? Okay, no problem. I waited.

No trains came. No future trains were listed on the platform displays. 8:30 came and went. No sign of any train. Tourists milled about, confused. Spaniards: unfazed.

8:45 came and went. An announcement was made that a train would come at some point, but was 15 minutes late.

A train arrived at about 9 PM. It declared itself to be going to Atocha. Everyone going to Atocha got on board.

After two stops, an announcement was made that the train was not going to Atocha, but rather terminating at a different stop. Everyone on board was confused, and a long conversation ensued about whether or not the train was, in fact, going to Atocha.

At the next stop, more people going to Atocha boarded the train. When we told them that the train was not going to Atocha, they said that they thought the train probably WAS going to Atocha in spite of the announcements, because there had been a big rearrangement of trains in December and now you never knew where a train was going when you got on it.

We arrived at the different station where the train was supposedly terminating. There was no announcement. More people going to Atocha got on the train. The train did not leave. Eventually, the lights on the train went out, so we got off the train and got on a different train. This train declared itself to be going to Alcalá de Henares. Then, after a few stops, all its electronic displays crashed, rebooted with the Windows logo, and announced that the train was going to the airport.

However, the train in fact went to Atocha, where I arrived at 10 PM. There were no more trains to Barcelona and I had to spend the night in a capsule hotel.

When I told my husband about this, he said that if it had happened on a British TV show, the show would have been accused of anti-Spanish racism.

The end.

Madrid to L’Escala

We all slept well in our cupboards. After showering and packing we headed out for breakfast. On our way we encountered a local fun run. There were a lot of participants which was good to see.

A relaxed breakfast in the sun before it was time to catch the metro to Atocha. There we bid Rossi good bye and she caught her train back to Alcala de Henares and we had a coffee before it was time to catch our train to Barcelona.

We quite like train travel here so it felt like no time until we were in Barcelona where we had a quick changeover to our train to Girona. We had a couple of hours to kill in Girona so we went to a slightly questionable bar near the train station.

Finally back in L’Escala we dropped the bags in the apartment and headed out for a drink at the beach. Much as we enjoyed our time away, it’s good to be back 🥂

The Super Pets arrive in front of Madrid's train station: Madrid-Atocha Station, in which Mini Jett and Mini Ellie stop to visit the station, when a spider lands on Mini Jett's head. Alerted by the noise, Matteo, the owner of the spider (whose name is Esteban), comes to remove it from Mini Jett and apologizes; explaining that because of Esteban, they have difficulty accessing their train. Mini Jett and Mini Ellie offer to call World Aircraft for help.

TOP 10 FAVOURITE MADRID STATIONS

today, for madrid day (may 2nd), i'm doing my top 10 favourite madrid metro / train stations !!! as you would imagine this is gonna be very subjective and honestly i could've done it even more personal to me but i didn't wan to dox myself too much <3

anyways, everything will be below the cut, hope you like it :)

10. RECOLETOS (C1, C2, C7, C8, C10)

recoletos is just a stop away from atocha, and it's located at the start of the salamanca district (in the recoletos barrio), the wealthiest and fanciest part of the city, but just close enough from the city center where you are next to a lot of important stuff. personally, i've been here multiple times mostly to visit the national archaeological museum, which shares building with the national library, just opposite of the station [right pic]. it also has one of the prettiest boulevards in the city, paseo de recoletos [left pic], that goes from colón square to cibeles square, and is always super full of live. i love walking from it to the banco de españa metro stop, in cibeles, it's super pretty!!!!

9. PLAZA DE ESPAÑA (METRO LINE 3, LINE 10)

plaza de españa, or, in the madrileño dialect 'plazajpaña', is one of the main reunion points in the city. a ton of teens hang out here and, in fact, it's known as a meeting point for emo, otaku, and k-pop kids. needless to say, i used to come here a lot when i was younger, and even now when i hang out with my uni friends we meet up here. there was a very dramatic reformation of the square from 2019 to 2021 [see left vs right], which i absolutely hate cause it removed almost all green spaces. the only thing that remains of the original square is the don quijote monument, which honestly is pretty good, i really like it!! also, that big ass building you can see in all three pics is the edificio españa, and at one point was the tallest building in the country! it still serves as a good guiding point when you want to return here, i've used it a lot of times myself. here the largest and busiest street in the city starts, gran vía, and there's also some busy and well-known streets that start here like princesa street or my most visited one (alongside gran vía), leganitos street, full of asian restaurants and supermarkets (again. otakus and k-popers). it's also the closest station to the temple of debod, my favourite part of the city so if you know me irl you've probably been here with me lol

8. NUEVOS MINISTERIOS (METRO LINE 6, LINE 8, & LINE 10; CERCANÍAS C1, C2, C3, C3a, C4, C7, C8, C10)

i have a love-hate relationship with this station, and everyone that has used it might have similar feelings i think. so, nuevos ministerios is one of the main transportation hubs of the city, specially in regards to trains, as you can see above. in fact, i had to go here every year while i was in college, cause the only way to get to campus was by the C4 train line and nuevos ministerios is in my most-used metro line (line 10), so i always switched between metro and train here. which was not great. nuevos ministerios is notoriously one of the most confusing stations in the city; and i got lost several times despite using it every single day. but, honestly? that's what kept me humble. every day was an adventure in nuevos ministerios <3

no but really, i grew to love it. it's located right in the business hub of the city, in fact just outside of it is AZCA [left pic], the closest thing to a CBD madrid has (alongside las cuatro torres). it is also on the paseo de la castellana, one of the main arteries of the city and where a lot of offices are located [right pic]. i've been around this station tons of times, either going to my middle egyptian classes after uni that were located 10 minutes away from nuevos ministerios, admiring the christmas market in december, being stressed going to a job interview, or buying last-minute gifts in the shopping center in AZCA. i don't think i could hate it even if i really want to. she's my nemesis, but she made me who i am.

7. TRIBUNAL (METRO LINE 1, LINE 10)

tribunal is probably the most popular station, especially among young people. it is located in the center, in the university barrio, right in the middle of fuencarral street [left pic], which is the most hip and popular street for young people and has a sorta hipstery vibe with it. it also runs through the malasaña and chueca barrios, respectively the arts/counter-culture and LGBT hubs of the city, so once again. i think you can pick up the vibes. the buildings here are super pretty and i think tribunal constitutes the center of the places where people from madrid like to hang out, instead of tourists. outside of tribunal station is the madrid history museum [right], a pretty nice and underrated museum with an absolutely insane façade. one of my favourite museums, the museum of romanticism, is also pretty close, and i've been to both multiple times, can't recommend them enough!

6. ALUCHE (METRO LINE 5, CERCANÍAS C5):

aluche is so so special to me. so, aluche station is the center of aluche barrio, in the latina district. latina is one of the poorest districts in the city, but this is pretty normal; most outer districts are more poor than the central ones. it is also a pretty accurate depiction of what a normal barrio looks like, where most people of madrid live. i regularly go here cause it's my closest train station, and more than aluche, i have friends from different barrios of latina and have been to a lot of places here pretty regularly, so latina is like a friend to me. and aluche station is the crown jewel, she's never failed me once, 10/10 no notes <3

5. ATOCHA (ALL CERCANÍAS LINES):

you know this one was coming. atocha is the largest and most important train station in the country. not only all local train lines go through here, but most long-distance trains start here. if you take a train to madrid, this'll probably be your first taste of the city. it is also in a really good spot; i've gone to protests here, to pride, to women's day rallys, to the nearby reina sofía museum [right pic], home of 20th century art like picasso's guernica; to the unesco world heritage paseo del prado and the prado museum, the largest in the country; to the caixaforum, a smaller museum with temporal expos; to the royal botanical garden; to the retiro park... as you can see, you can find practically anything here, it's a great starting point. and i haven't even mentioned the national anthropology museum, the thyssen-bornemisza museum, the best barrio of the city aka the barrio de las letras (where tons of writers have historically lived and where different verses and quotes can be found engraved into the sidewalks), or the fact that inside atocha station you can find a tropical garden with turtles and fish [left pic]. honestly she's the best girl, i love her.

4. MONCLOA (METRO LINE 3, LINE 6)

moncloa is probably my most used station right now. it is the main bus hub in western madrid, and it's located just outside of ciudad universitaria (university city), where the main university campus of the city is located. this makes it extremely popular with the young crowd, and it's right next to argüelles, one of the main party areas of the city. i used to walk to class from here during my master's, i still do it when i have to go get a book from the library, and it's always a delight to cross the parque del oeste (most underrated park of the city imo) [right pic], i have so many good memories listening to music through that area, it's one of my safe spaces. it's also the meeting point of me and my closest friends everytime we hang out in madrid, so we always end up hanging out around here. again; it's probably my most used station right now. also, just as plaza de españa is notoriously an otaku and k-poper hangout, moncloa is famous for the 'pijos de moncloa', posh students of the private catholic university CEU san pablo that are always there and usually contrast a lot with the rest of students (especially the arts and humanities ones!). in moncloa you can also find the faro de moncloa, an observation deck of the whole city [left pic], tho i've never been there (i'm scared of heights okay). princesa street also starts here. oh! and outside the station there's the arco de la victoria. i almost forgot about it.

3. ÓPERA (METRO LINE 2, LINE 5, AND RAMAL)

ópera is the best well-placed station if you want to show someone around the city i think, and it leads you straight to the busiest but also prettiest parts of the city so it was an easy choice. also the ramal!!! y'all know how much do i love the ramal <3 so yeah, ópera is right outside of the royal theatre, and by the plaza de oriente, the hedged square next to the royal palace. even though i fundamentally disagree with monarchy, it's a really beautiful area, honestly. also, sunsets by the palace are !!!!! the almudena cathedral is also there but eh. it's not great. also, on the other side of ópera station is arenal street, a super pretty street with iconic locales like that one makeshift bookshop i always see every couple of months in this website, or the chocolatería san ginés, that allegedly has the best chocolate con churros of the city. also, arenal street ends in puerta del sol, which is literally the center of the city. like you couldn't go more center than sol. so yeah. great place, great station, 10/10.

2. RETIRO (METRO LINE 2)

a station that has been covered in vinyls of trees and nature and has an exit right in the middle of the retiro park aka a unesco world heritage site that acts as the main park of the city (like hyde park or central park)???? of course i was gonna love it. i love retiro park with all my heart, it's one of my favourite areas of the city, and it has my favourite event of the year, the book fair !!! apart from the park, just outside retiro station is the puerta de alcalá, madrid's most iconic monument that has a sick song about it. i don't have anything else to add. just. 💞retiro 💞

PRINCIPE PÍO (METRO LINE 10, LINE 6, AND RAMAL; AND CERCANÍAS C1, C7, C10)

she means so much to me... príncipe pío is one of the largest stations in madrid, and is a transportation hub of metro, train, and bus (she's got everything!!) there's a shopping mall inside the station [left pic], and it's one of the starting points of madrid río [right pic], a sprawling area next to the manzanares river. it's very convenient for me to get there, so i've met up with tons of friends here that have made this place even more special, and i've also used it as a desperate place to get something to eat after or before a concert / musical with my sister and / or cousin, or as a way to get to a concert in la riviera, a famous concert venue in madrid río. also, just outside the station is the puerta de san vicente and the campo del moro (the gardens of the royal palace), and it's also not too far from my belovedest temple of debod; i usually start at plaza de españa and end up here or vice versa. in conclusion, príncipe pío is the best station (i almost forgot the ramal!!!) and i wouldn't be anything without her. she's my friend and she's my whole world. i love her with all my heart <3

do they still have turtles in atocha train station? i feel like george would have loved them

no😞 but i tbink theres still some birds !

[mesetacadre]

hypothetically if i were to visit spain, what would be the itinerary you would organise on the first day

Assuming you're arriving in the morning (and in Madrid, as you told me), I'd first get to the center near Atocha train station. This is because it's really close to the three big museums, the golden art triangle, I know you like those. The closest is Reina Sofía, that focuses on art from the 20th century. The most famous painting here is Guernica, but there are many others just as good. Next would be the Prado museum, which focuses in the period between the 12th century and early 20th century, and broadly based on the spanish monarchy's collection. It's by far the biggest collection in Spain, one particular author who stands out is Velázquez, the court's painter during what is known as the golden age. Last is the Thyssen-Bornemisza museum, it also focuses on the 20th century, movements like impressionism and expressionism, and it is based on the private collection of the family whose name the museum bears, according to Wikipedia it used to be the second largest private art collection behind the British Royal Collection.

After that, if you don't spend too much time, you'll have spent the entire morning between museums. After eating, and I don't know any good places to eat in Madrid because it's a city hostile to all human life, I would just have a leisurely walk around the city center, it's not too big but it's also not small. Places like the Atocha statue to the murdered communist lawyers, Puerta del Sol, the Debod temple (Egypt gifted an entire temple to Spain after it helped with some flooding and they literally deconstructed it, shipped the individual stones, and reconstructed it in Madrid), the royal palace, the western park (site of many vestiges of the civil war) spring to mind. So after spending a good few hours walking around I would invite you to escape Madrid and visit where I live, but alas I won't doxx myself. I promise there are very interesting things to see though

[isabella-scstudyabroad]

On Public Transportation

The public transportation system in Madrid is amazing and is one of the biggest public transportation systems in the world. As mentioned before it is also extremely affordable. I have the monthly abono joven card which only costs 4€ and every month to recharge it costs only 8€. This card gives me access to all the public transportation in Madrid which includes all the zones, buses, metro, and cercanias trains. 

Before coming I had no idea the cercanias train existed, so I am going to explain the system a little more. The cercanias train operates through the renfe system, which is the train system that connects all of Spain together. In many of the bigger cities of Spain the renfe also has tracks connecting the parts of the city together that don't usually have the bigger trains pass through. The cercanias train makes it faster to travel across Madrid because there are fewer stops and the system is faster and can hold more people. Since there are less stops, the frequency of the cercanias is a lot less than the metro. There are more frequent cercanias trains also depending on the destination you want to go to. For example, there is a greater frequency of cercanias trains going farther away from the center at the Getafe station (which is already out of the center) to cercanias trains going into the center. The opposite could be said if you are in a center station. Atocha is one of the main cercanias stations because it is connected to all lines of the cercanias trains. Atocha is also the station that has trains going to all parts of Spain. This makes it one of the busiest stations in Madrid. To get a cercanias train from Atocha you must pay attention to the boards showing you where the cercanias train you want will go. The tracks can change at any point and the board only shows you where the train will go a few minutes before it actually comes in. This is also the same with the renfe trains going all throughout Spain, so you must be hyper vigilant to go to the current track on time. The best way to get to the center from the University is to get the cercanias train C-4 from Las Margaritas station and get off at Sol station, it takes about 20 minutes. This is a huge cut from the almost hour route if you take the metro. The cercanias train opens before the metro at around 5:00 am, and the metro opens at around 6:00 am. The metro runs later and stops at around 2:00 am while the cercanias train stops at around 12:00 am. It's already occurred to me that I arrive at the airport at 11:30pm and I am unable to make the last cercanias back to my place so I have to take the longer metro route. Everytime you get on the cercanias train and get off you must pass your card through. For the metro you only need to pass your card to get into the station (this is only true for the center of Madrid, the once in the outskirts of the center you must pass your card to get in and out of the metro station). The cercanias station is always located where a metro station is, but every metro station does not have a cercanias station. Another tip is that to get on or off a cercanias train or metro sometimes you must press the green arrow (sometimes it is a small lever you must push up) for the doors to open, it usually opens without needing to do anything but on the rare occasion it doesn’t you must do this. 

Some tips on trains for around Spain. I tend to book my tickets on a website called Omio because I get a wider selection of times for departure or arrival. Omio provides you with tickets to almost any place in Europe. Even though I look through the Omio website, before I book my tickets I look at the website of the train company to see if the price is cheaper. Sometimes on Omio the prices are cheaper and sometimes it is better to book directly through the company. In Spain the main train company is Renfe, but there is also Iryo and Ougio. All trains still operate on the renfe tracks. Most train doors close five minutes before departure time, and I recommend getting to the station at least 30 minutes before the departure time. This is because when you get to the station through metro or cercanias trains you must walk a bit to get to the part of the station where the long distance trains depart. It is slightly confusing to figure this out. You also must find the track number your train will depart on, which sometimes is in another location from one part of the station. There is also a baggage check you must go through, and the ticket check which can take a while sometimes. In some instances they don't check your ticket before getting on the train, but check it while the train is in operation. They also check that you are in your correct seat on the train. I recommend not sitting in another seat on the train because of this and also it is most likely that someone will have that seat eventually because the train may stop at other stations before arriving at your last destination and the seat may belong to someone else. There is a Eurail Spain pass that is useful for a month to get any train you want for a certain amount of days. For example, this means you can travel for 8 days in Spain for a month. This is a good option to save some money, but you must plan ahead on choosing the month and the cities you would like to visit within that month to get the most of it. 

I have to travel from Getafe to get to my classes in the Leganes campus of UC3M and I have found it better to use the metro system than the bus system. The bus system picks you up right at one campus and drops you off at the other campus in only 20 minutes. The problem is it usually takes more than 20 minutes for the route and the bus never gets to the bus stop at the time it says it will. The metro system is much more reliable, but you do have to walk more and it ends up taking 30 minutes for the transportation between campuses. I have also taken the bus from where I live to the Getafe outlets. It was a very frustrating experience because it should have only taken 20 minutes, but because the bus was delayed and it only passes every 40 minutes it took me around an hour to get the to outlet. I’m grateful to have the option to use the buses, but whenever it is possible I avoid using the bus as much as possible.
