The San Clodio-Quiroga station

Curiosity · Ribas de Sil, Quiroga, Lugo

The San Clodio-Quiroga station opened to traffic on 4 September 1883, with the launch of the Oural-Toral de los Vados section of the line intended to link Palencia with A Coruña, run by the Compañía de los Ferrocarriles de Asturias, Galicia y León. Located in San Clodio, the chief town of Ribas de Sil, it also serves neighbouring Quiroga. Part of the León-A Coruña line, at 246 metres above sea level, it transformed the life of the council from the 19th century onward and remains in service, with Long Distance trains linking it to A Coruña, Vigo and Barcelona, and Medium Distance trains to Vigo, Ponferrada, León and Ourense.
