Barcelona

Postcard published by L. Roisin, fot., Barcelona, Nº 36.

The Tibidabo funicular connects Barcelona's Plaça del Doctor Andreu with the summit of Mount Tibidabo, 501 m above sea level. Its route has a length of 1,152 m, with a gradient of 278 m. It is the first transport of these characteristics that worked in Spain. It was built in little more than a year and was inaugurated on 29 October 1901. It was popularly known as "Cuca de Llum" ('Lightworm'). In 2021, the funicular was renovated by eliminating the old wagons, the old tracks and the catenary in favor of a new route with new wagons.
