Madrid’s train station is going green. Recently Atocha Station (the main commuter station in Madrid) added a jungle of green goodness for all to see. Spanish architect Rafael Moneo, who won the Pritzker Prize for architecture in 1996, envisioned the breath taking 400 square meter jungle to make waiting for your train that much more comfortable. The greenhouse has over 500 species including carnivorous plants, goldfish, and turtles. So sit on a bench, grab a coffee, and enjoy the landscape, I mean station.
