TMB metro - Barcelona Metro

Signage at the Catalunya stop of the TMB metro, Barcelona's subway system (operated by TMB or Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona).





Lesseps. Fontana. Passeig de Gracia. Diagonal. Arc de Triomf. Urquinaona. Catalunya. Universitat. Urgell. Rocafort. Espanya. Hostafrancs.

Such distinctive names and spellings. All these metro stops I sped past with the Barcelona Metro's "Linya A o B". The subway system of Barcelona.

It is the only metro system so far, where, as I was waiting for the next train at the Catalunya stop, I was pleasantly astonished to hear a metro service interruption announced through the metro speaker system in Catalan. Then Castillan Spanish. Then the following languages if I remember all and correctly: French, English, Mandarin, and Arabic (maybe). And the announcement was repeated in the same languages, for good measure. Cool. Certainly never encountered such in Madrid.
