Bilbao Concordia station, also called La Concordia station and known colloquially as Santander station, is a terminal railway station.
Currently, it offers commuter and medium distance (regional) services operated by Renfe Cercanías AM. It is adjacent to the Abando Indalecio Prieto station, forming part of its transport interchange system for decades; His property, in fact, is today the oldest in the complex, which originally also included the old La Naja station, located below it. In addition, it is the head or intermediate station of the Transcantabrian itineraries.
Inaugurated in 1898 as the eastern head of the railway from Bilbao to Santander, and completed in 1902, its unique modernist-style building is one of the architectural jewels of the town. Its façade and characteristic rose window are, along with the Arriaga theater, landmarks in the Arenal area of Bilbao, and is considered one of the most genuine heritages of Bilbao during the Belle Époque. In 2007 the station renovation works were completed, which has given a total change to its interior. Its main façade was also restored and access to the Abando Indalecio Prieto station was fixed. In the future, with the comprehensive reform of the latter, it is expected that it will stop offering rail services (which would be relocated to the new terminal), leaving the iconic property free for other uses, yet to be defined.
