"Opened in 1898 as the eastern terminus of the Bilbao-Santander railway, and completed in 1902, its unique modernist building is one of the architectural gems of the town. Its façade and characteristic rose window are, together with the Arriaga theatre, landmarks of the Bilbao Arenal area, and it is considered one of the most genuine heritage sites of Belle Époque Bilbao. In 2007, the station's renovation work was completed, which has completely changed its interior. Its main façade was also restored and the access to the Abando Indalecio Prieto station was fixed. In the future, with the comprehensive reform of the latter, it is expected that it will stop offering railway services (which would be relocated to the new terminal), leaving the iconic building free for other uses, yet to be defined."
