The station is so run-down that it's almost in working order again. Old railway vehicles (burned-out steam locomotives and old wagons) are scattered around the large grounds. There are also many disused tracks, including turntables. At the end of the station, the former storage sheds have been converted into wine shops and restaurants.

A worthwhile museum, which scores points despite/or because of its very minimalist presentation of the subject matter. At the end, enjoy a port wine on the terrace of the museum's café.

The bridge is really well-made. The view from the bridge is beautiful, even though there's still a lot that could be done with the buildings at the end.

The Duero rises in the Picos de Urbión Mountains in the northern Spanish province of Soria at an altitude of 2,080 meters. It flows through the autonomous community of Castile and León, passing through the cities of Soria, Almazán, Aranda de Duero, Tordesillas, and Zamora. For 112 km, it forms the Spanish-Portuguese border, with the river landscape on both sides located in protected natural parks: Arribes del Duero and Douro Internacional. From here, it flows 213 km into Portugal, passing through the cities of Miranda do Douro, Pinhão, and Peso da Régua, as well as the Alto Douro wine region. The Duero flows into the Atlantic near Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia.
