Introduction

The Bilbao-Awando station is the railway station of the Bilbao Awando district in Spain. It was opened in 1870 and the existing station was completed in 1948. The hall has a large stained-glass window. The station is currently the most important railway station in the Bilbao area; in 2010, more than 6 million passengers used their long-distance and commuter services.

The Old Town around the Cathedral is a 10 to 15-minute walk away - turn right at the station and follow the famous "Naffora Kelela" street and the tramway on the bridge.

Platform

Bilbao-Abando's platform is located above the street but has free access to the exit and underground stations.

When you get off the bus, take the exit and walk through the main hall to the stunning stained glass installation. Behind this square is the escalator, which leads to the exit and the subway, below the two floors.

On the first floor, you will arrive at some of the shops and restaurants of the station as well as some of the restrooms. Alvia trains from Madrid usually arrive via platform 8, which is the location of other restrooms.

When you reach the height of the street in the main station building, you can choose three street exits, the main exit will be on the left, on the other side of the independent escalator bank, directly to the subway station.

If you are travelling to FEVE Station in Bilbao to Concordia, please use the less obvious exit on the right. The tourist information office is located next to the station, turn right from the main exit and you can find it in Plaza Bribila.
