International Hub

It doesn't really look like it but Ciudad Rodrigo railway station can claim to be truly international.

The one train a day that stops at Ciudad Rodrigo going North starts in the Portuguese capital, Lisbon, trundles up through Spain and crosses the Spanish border at Irun to enter France at Hendaye. There's another train that goes in the other diection. The Portugal to France train passes through town just before 11 at night and the southbound France to Portugal train gets in at around 6 in the morning.

A single to Irun would cost you just 33€ or 40€ to Lisbon. Cracking eh?
