San Clodio-Quiroga Station

Monument · Ribas de Sil, Quiroga, Lugo

Railway station opened in 1883, the same year as the iron bridge, when the line running up the Sil canyon broke the age-old isolation of these valleys in Lugo's eastern mountains. It 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 La Coruña, built by the Compañía de los Ferrocarriles de Asturias, Galicia y León, absorbed in 1885 by the Compañía del Norte and, after the 1941 nationalisation, incorporated into RENFE. Located at 246 metres above sea level, at kilometre point 333.425 of the León-La Coruña line, it serves both San Clodio, capital of Ribas de Sil, and the neighbouring municipality of Quiroga, and today maintains Long-Distance and Medium-Distance services.
