Bilbao's Abando Station

Today I am looking at the stained glass of Bilbao’s Abando train station.

Estacion de Abando Indalecio Prieto, also known as Bilbao-Abando and locally named as Estacion del Norte is the main and most important train station of Bilbao. A beautiful stained-glass mural overlooks the main hall of Bilbao’s Abando train station.  The stained glass at the atrium shows all the economic activities in Vizcaya.

The artistic stained glass, designed by the painter Caspar Montes Iturrioz, was made by the Union of Glazier Artists of Irun in 1948.

This video will give you a glimpse of the window and a feel for it’s location in the station:
