Hostafrancs (Barcelona Metro)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hostafrancs (Catalan pronunciation: [ustɘˈfɾaŋs]) is a Barcelona Metro station, located in the neighbourhood of the same name in the Sants-Montjuïc district of Barcelona, served by L1 (red line). It's still occasionally written as Hostafranchs, following the old Catalan spelling, chiefly in Spanish-language contexts. The station was inaugurated in 1926, as part of the first Ferrocarril Metropolità Transversal section ever built. It can be accessed from carrer Moianès and carrer Consell de Cent. The platforms are 88 metres (290 ft) long each.
