Recent cancellations caused by the derailment have affected thousands of Renfe passengers even in relatively distant regions like Murcia findings are expected to contribute to updated safety measures for all future rail maintenance procedures Find more Euro Weekly News Subscribe to our Euro Weekly News alerts to get the latest stories into your inbox Euro Weekly News is the leading English language newspaper in Spain by delivering news with a social conscience we are proud to be the voice for the expat communities who now call Spain home With around half a million print readers a week and over 1.5 million web views per month EWN has the biggest readership of any English language newspaper in Spain The paper prints over 150 news stories a week with many hundreds more on the web – no one else even comes close Our publication has won numerous awards over the last 25 years including Best Free Newspaper of the Year (Premios AEEPP) Company of the Year (Costa del Sol Business Awards) and Collaboration with Foreigners honours (Mijas Town Hall) All of this comes at ZERO cost to our readers All our print and online content always has been and always will be FREE OF CHARGE Download our media pack in either English or Spanish Madrid Nuevo Norte looks to reinvent the city’s northern rail station and district in one of the largest-scale urban renewal and placemaking initiatives in Europe – with a total site of 300 hectares The client needed to unlock the transformation of an underdeveloped area and capture the imagination of a constellation of stakeholders -

Marzeah, which means joy around the table and is a Phoenician word (something like francachela), is the craze led by its chef Sergio Gutiérrez. With an eye on Asia and a price adjusted to worthy qualities, Marzeah is a place where you can have fun eating. If you can only try two things (which is not going to happen) stick with the steak tartar roll and the snout and trotters dimsum with Huelva shrimp tartar. cantabrian lobster of spectacular thickness, balanced and intense flavor and at 150€ per kilo? A Chigre Menu that includes a scallop au gratin, a block of foie gras, twenty-four prawns, blue cheese and a bottle of cider for 16€? You got it too, even if it sounds like a joke. La Chalana imports seafood from the north and also imports prices. The same promotions in Asturias are the ones you can find in Madrid in the form of conferences. This is the case of the Chigre Menu: varies every two weeks, can only be consumed in the bar area and is defined by an absurd quality-price ratio – a good amount of products and drinks at only 16€. Let this serve as an introduction: some of the nigiris on PaiPái’s menu are not even nigiris. This is the case of the false nigiri (the second most ordered dish on the menu): a brioche dipped in English cream and topped in the oven serves as rice. The brioche is topped with a piece of fresh grilled foie gras, tartufata sauce, mango chutney and kabayaki sauce. All the dishes of Fernando Ruiz, the chef, are bastards, so to speak. What other way would there be, then, to define the fusion of a Japanese kabayakisauce and a French brioche? The day you are not accompanied by three hungry friends, order some fabes  or a delicious hake in cider. The gastronomic offer in Madrid is infinite, but Cachivache is one of those restaurants that you come back to and come back to again. The menu of this “full-color” neotaberna is traveling and curious, from lamb rolls with yogurt raita that do not fail to a torrija of sobao El Macho for which the spoons fight. Before you get up, you’ll be thinking about booking for next time. Located above Chamartín Station, the Zielou restaurant is known for its signature cocktails and avant-garde cuisine that fuses traditional Spanish dishes with different flavors from around the world. Zielou is also famous for its after Work with DJs or live music on its large outdoor terrace during the hot season. The so-called Zielou Drunch starts around 17:30 and lasts throughout the afternoon until dinner time. 📍Estaciónde Chamartín, s/n, Planta Ático, Every neighborhood needs a place to have a powerful breakfast, and in this bright, cozy cafeteria that somehow encapsulates the concept of picnic in the park,  serves great dishes like their avotoast, their brioche jam or their vegetable fritatta , homemade and very personal recipes accompanied by specialty coffee that can also be enjoyed on a terrace surrounded by Verde. Let’s see who can walk past without succumbing to the pastries on the counter. Located next to an imposing water reservoir belonging to the Canal de Isabel II, the Canal Foundation has been offering surprising exhibitions, workshops and various cultural events for years. At present, this exhibition hall is betting on two exhibitions: We Are Water y Madrid: creative chronicle of the 80s. It is inevitable to think of the Residencia de Estudiantes and not immediately relate it to the Generation of ’27: poets such as Lorca, Juan Ramón Jiménez and Antonio Machado passed through here, as well as pioneers of the stature of Josefina Carabias, Victoria Kent, María Zambrano or Maruja Mallo, in addition to other important cultural figures of the last century. The institution, located in the neighborhood of El Viso, was founded in 1910 and today still serves as an accommodation for creators, artists and researchers. It also hosts exhibitions and can be visited free of charge: in fact, it has a recreation where you can see some of the original furniture and learn about the rooms where these illustrious characters stayed and conceived part of their work. In Chamartín metro station we can find a permanent exhibition of classic Metro trains that were fully restored to celebrate the centenary of the company. The exhibition, which belongs to the Metro Museums, includes more than a dozen historic carriages, including the first ones that ran more than a century ago on Line 1. White Lab is a new gallery where you can discover very promising contemporary artists. In addition to painting and sculpture, it also hosts events with designers and live music, making it a space that promotes all the arts. The artistic avant-garde is extremely present in everything that is exhibited in this subway hall and in addition to workshops they also provide a window of exposure to emerging artists who can present their proposals to the gallery’s laboratory. At the fountain of this park in the Chamartín district stand three graffitied concrete columns that seem to mean nothing, but are real pieces of the wall with their original drawings. The three pieces arrived in Madrid in 1990 to bear witness to the fall of the wall. The home of The National Orchestra and Orchestra of Spain is the Auditorio Nacional de Música. This building, built in the 80’s and designed by the architect José Mª García de Paredes, does not have a particularly attractive façade, but both its concert hall for symphony orchestra concerts and the chamber orchestra have a certain spectacularity due to their capacity and illumination. The centerpiece over the Orchestra is the 5700-pipe organ that steals the stage’s attention. In this auditorium is usually held the first contact of many Madrilenians with classical music, as it is typical to make a school trip to listen to the Joven Orquesta Nacional de España (National Youth Orchestra of Spain). All markets are for shopping, but not in all of them you can have a drink. And in Chamartín, whose facade gives you the impression that there is a contemporary art museum inside, there are no avant-garde sculptures, but there are meats, fish, fruits and some very interesting stalls, such as a store dedicated exclusively to pistachios (Pistachos de la Mancha), a brewery with more than 300 references (Cervezas La Mundial) or Pasta Mito, one of the best Italian restaurants in the city. estacion de Chamartín, S/N, Zone Ático (1st floor) Lori Zaino Ostinato blends Italian and Spanish flavors in surprisingly innovative ways—and makes food that’s light and not overly

of the Community of Madrid Following its 50 years of history, Chamartín Station is about to grow its service to 42 million travellers per year, becoming the AVE’s main hub. The international tender has been called to materialise this decisive transformation of the rail infrastructure that has connected Madrid’s residents for decades This station’s history dates back to the Second Republic when the Government decided to structure the city of Madrid and improve its rail connection to northern Spain building a new train station in the town of Chamartín It was only in 1967 when the project was realised with a new passenger terminal and one platform its capacity was expanded with a new station reinventing itself while becoming a symbol of the city’s growth its rail tracks would limit Madrid’s urban growth to the north this situation is now going to be resolved thanks to Madrid Nuevo Norte and author of the book Estaciones de ferrocarril de España (Espasa-Calpe The earthworks for a temporary station began in 1933 the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War brought the project to a standstill during decades The project gained meaning as a link between northern Madrid and Atocha station in the south; a much-needed railway axis that would run through the city from end to end The tunnel that would bridge the 7.3 km gap between Atocha and the new temporary Chamartín station would be finally completed in 1967 The facilities consisted of just a small building built parallel to the tracks 175 commuter and long-distance trains were already operated from this station and the Madrid-Burgos line was inaugurated in 1968 Image of the Charmartín station construction works (1974) the Government allocated nearly 2 billion pesetas for building the new Chamartín station This significant investment was meant to cover the annual transportation needs of the 10 million travellers who use the long- and medium-distance services and 5 million commuters The design also sought to meet the estimated growth requirements until 2000 namely 17.99 million commuters and 12.77 million long-distance passengers as set out in the March 2019 edition of the journal Vía Libre The land used to develop the new infrastructure was near the original temporary station The new facilities would cover an area of 127,000 square metres including ancillary buildings and a covered 450-car parking The project also envisaged a future link with the Madrid-Barajas airport as well as the creation of a Postal Railway Transport Centre belonging to the Postal Service as it will link Madrid will the long-distance railway network running through the north of Spain the station also had a second important role from the outset It was meant to become Madrid’s central point for all communication with a view to making Chamartín the leading transport hub in Madrid “the design also took into account its link with the Plaza Castilla-Fuencarral metro station and the future rail link with Barajas airport” The infrastructure represented an impressive breakthrough in mobility at the time But what surprised the Madrid residents most “was that the station included a huge concourse with a shopping area and food court that went beyond newsstands and canteens” Chamartín station became not only Madrid’s transportation hub but also a shopping and entertainment centre that even included a hotel non-stop “Puerta del Sol Express” departed from Chamartín to Paris  Based on the information provided by Renfe 28 million travellers pass through Chamartín every year which provides long- and medium-distance and commuter rail service more so as it is directly connected to the Metro lines 1 and 10 which operate from its homonymous metro station The call for international tender that took place in February 2020 has placed Chamartín station on the path to its definitive transformation to become Europe’s most advanced railway hub stressed that “the new Chamartín station will be a shining example of a well-connected that will bring people together and encourage coexistence in Madrid” The design of the future Chamartín station at the heart of the Madrid Nuevo Norte project will be chosen by an international tender that is currently ongoing Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker founded in 1988 by Ben van Berkel and Caroline Bos is a Dutch architectural design studio specialising in architecture urban development and infrastructural projects stands for United Network Studio referring to the collaborative nature of the practice.Throughout 30 years of international project experience UNStudio has continually expanded its capabilities through prolonged collaboration with an extended network of international consultants combined with the centrally located offices in Amsterdam enables UNStudio to work efficiently anywhere in the world the studio continues to expand its global presence with recent commissions in among others China a highly flexible methodological approach has been developed which incorporates parametric designing and collaborations with leading specialists in other disciplines The office has worked internationally since its inception and has produced a wide range of work ranging from public buildings to urban masterplans.Current projects include the design for Doha's Integrated Metro Network in Qatar the mixed-use FOUR development in Frankfurt the wasl Tower in Dubai and the Southbank by Beulah development in Melbourne Pivotal realised projects include the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart the Mobius House in the Netherlands and the Erasmus Bridge in Rotterdam the last ones being Red Dot Award product design (2013) National Steel Prize (2012) and 28th International Lighting Design Awards Collector’s Loft (2012) Archive Competitions The multidisciplinary team headed by the Dutch studio WEST 8 together with Porras Guadiana Arquitectos as local partner will design a new public space that will become a landmark in the city of Madrid Its technical viability has been especially valued for guaranteeing its feasibility against the challenge of building on the covering structure of the Chamartín tracks and for its proposal The Chamartín CBD Management Committee (APE 05.31) of Madrid Nuevo Norte has awarded the design of the Central Park to the multidisciplinary team led by WEST 8 the proposal for which was unanimously chosen by the Governing Council following a decision that was also unanimously ratified by the Assembly of this entity responsible for the urban development management of the project area The team also includes the engineering firms TYPSA and INES together with the specialised consultancy firms RWDI The winning project was announced this morning by the Mayor of Madrid who highlighted “the link between the chosen architectural teams and the city who are responsible for such emblematic projects as Madrid Río and who undoubtedly submit the best project for this future iconic green space in Madrid” president of the Chamartín CBD Management Committee (APE 05.31) emphasised that “the selected team has demonstrated with its proposal an exceptional knowledge of the challenges to be resolved in order to create the benchmark destination park of the future of Madrid guaranteeing its technical viability against the challenge of having to build on the structure that covers the tracks and with a park proposal based on principles of design rising up on the paving slab that will cover the bundle of tracks that has occupied this space in Chamartín for decades the design of the project is centred on the layout of the tracks creating a series of flowing lines that run along the length of the park while also connecting the neighbourhoods that surround it thus closing the historic gap that divides the north of the city in two the 14.5-hectare Central Park is presented as “the new welcome gateway to Madrid for visitors coming from the public transport hubs especially from the future Chamartín station and its transport interchange” The park will feature an emblematic element that will become a new landmark for Madrid: the Jardín del Viento (Wind Garden) It is a unique green structure in the shape of a spiral that will be erected in the middle of the park and will be covered by vegetation “this large vertical garden will rise above the height of the treetops to capture the high breezes and direct them through its green framework reducing the surrounding temperature and creating a cool space inside becoming the main meeting point of the park” The proposed design creates a vibrant park as it will enhance the commercial areas on the ground floor of the perimeter buildings and its interior will be open to multiple uses thanks to its different zones and spaces with kiosks An environment that will give visibility to environmental aspects with elements such as rain gardens urban vegetable gardens and a large meadow The new park will also be an innovative and interactive digital space which will construct sensory environments of changing light and sound throughout the year that will expand along the park’s path network The Central Park will be integrated into the city’s large system of green areas formed by the Madrid Metropolitan Forest the Madrid Green Arch and the Madrid Nuevo Norte network of parks As Belén Piserra explained, in order to choose the winning project, an international competition was held in which a selection of 40 teams were invited to participate based on their previous experience in building similar parks with a focus on sustainability and innovation he 14 initial proposals submitted were evaluated based on criteria such as proposed team experience and knowledge of the environment this resulted in a selection of five teams (led by West 8; BIG; James Corner Field Operations; Grant Associates; and Rubio Arquitectura) that were invited to the final phase A key factor in the evaluation of the proposals was their compatibility with the track covering structure the process took into account the most advanced approaches to design as well as the potential of the proposals to turn the Central Park into a landmark public space for the Madrid of the future” The Urban Development Process for the Central Park of Madrid Nuevo Norte forms part of the set of projects of the Chamartín Business Centre area which are already in the development phase with the objective of presenting an initiative to execute these projects next year these include other projects such as the covering of the tracks on which the Central Park will be built as well as the rest of the development of the project area as well as the common and shared infrastructures with the other project areas the main private promoter of Madrid Nuevo Norte referred to the Central Park as “the most singular and decisive element of the city of the future that we are creating and the initiative that best embodies all the values of this great urban transformation project” Aresti stressed that the fact that the Chamartín CBD Management Committee has awarded this project shows that Madrid Nuevo Norte has entered a new phase “the decisive stage in which this project will begin to be built” “The time has come to start up Madrid Nuevo Norte and we are not going to do it alone the germ of the future Compensation Boards which will be created due to the impetus of the Madrid Nuevo Norte urban development project is called to become one of the most modern in Europe and a cornerstone for the future of the city The renovation covers several highly complex actions including upgrading and expanding the number of rail tracks and construction of a new building A major focus of this renovation is to make the Chamartín railway complex the main hub for future high-speed lines to the north of the country (Galicia Basque region and Burgos) and for existing ones between Madrid and the Levante (Cuenca which currently depart from Atocha train station The remarkable increase in traffic that this reform will bring together with the future presence of new passenger rail operators has pushed Adif into implementing an ambitious work plan “to make Chamartín a train station capable of handling this increase in both traffic and passengers while improving the quality of service provided to travellers and users of the station” A major strategic action of this plan will be to increase the number of high-speed rail tracks at Chamartín train station from six tracks and three high-speed platforms to eighteen tracks and nine platforms The first phase of this intervention is expected to be tendered in the first half of next year The new Chamartín railway complex will be the cornerstone of Madrid’s urban development with a meaningful impact on the new layout of the north of the capital It will become the main mobility hub in the region playing a decisive role in positioning Madrid at the European level Adif will launch an international tender to find a way to provide “a comprehensive image of the whole complex and a state-of-the-art architectural solution that measures up to the relevance of the initiative in terms of functionality The railway operator has confirmed that the technical ToR of this tender is “well advanced” and the jury will select “the most appropriate and capable multidisciplinary team of professionals possible” the Ministry of Public Works and Adif will push ahead the processing of the Partial Internal Reform Plan and draft the station’s renovation construction projects The Chamartín train station project will be complemented with a new underground high-speed terminal at Puerta de Atocha train station A new tunnel that will allow the high-speed trains to circulate between both terminals will connect both stations This infrastructure will be a major backbone in the development of high-speed rail in our country enabling direct connection without transfers between the AVE trains coming from -or going to- the north and northwest of Spain with those coming from or going to the south About us | Advertise with us | Contact us By , General Manager of Construction for Adif and General Manager of Adif Alta Velocidad detail the huge changes taking place at two of Madrid’s main train stations to increase their capacity in order to serve the expected traffic growth in the coming years as a result of the liberalisation process of passenger transport Selected proposal for the transformation of Chamartín station and its surroundings whose first section was commissioned in 1992 between Madrid and Seville now totals more than 4,000km and comprises four radial corridors originating in Madrid The North Corridor originates at Chamartín station East and Northeast of the Iberian Peninsula depart from Atocha station The recent commissioning of the new standard-gauge tunnel between the two stations together with the new infrastructure on the Atocha-Torrejón de Velasco section and the new UIC-gauge underground station at Atocha means that all the high-speed corridors will now be connected to one another interconnected network linking the country’s main cities In addition, the actions planned for Atocha and Chamartín will give these two major terminals sufficient capacity to handle the traffic generated by the extension of the high-speed network and the entry of new railway operators, resulting from the liberalisation of passenger transport being carried out by Adif and Adif Alta Velocidad The whole operation is divided into three large-scale projects: Enter your email

Chamartín-Clara Campoamor stations is part of the high-speed communication axis that runs through the centre of Madrid double UIC gauge track (1,435mm) and a maximum projected speed of 120km/h The excavation was carried out almost entirely using an earth pressure tunnel boring machine (EPB) Refurbishment of the access to the historic Atocha station from Plaza de Carlos V this station has begun to undergo a series of profound changes that will completely reconfigure it at both railway and architectural levels and this will be accompanied by the major transformation of the surrounding urban environment Chamartín will become a true transport ‘hub’ aimed at connecting it with the mobility of the future and making it a strategic node in the passenger rail transport liberalisation process measures are being implemented to reorganise the commuter train network and improve passenger mobility by increasing infrastructure capacity and journey speeds It also promotes multimodality by optimising connections with other means of transport Work is also being finished on the refurbishment and renovation of the former commuter concourse under the tracks so that this will be able to absorb passenger movements between tracks 1-13 (commuter and medium-distance trains on Iberian gauge) and the Metro concourse work is being carried out to enlarge the station together with the construction of new high-speed tracks that will double its current capacity The aim is to increase it from six to 12 tracks by converting Iberian gauge tracks 14 and 15 to standard gauge and by building four new standard gauge tracks together with the recent commissioning of the international-gauge tunnel represent a substantial improvement in overall mobility throughout the national rail network The first work to connect the Chamartín-Clara Campoamor station with Madrid-Barajas-Adolfo Suárez airport will soon begin which will encourage and improve the mobility of national and international passengers In parallel to the ongoing and planned works at the station a public tender was held from February 2020 to December 2022 through an International Call for Tenders for the design of the projects that will define the transformation of the station and its surroundings UNStudio and b720 Arquitectura; it will turn the railway complex into an urban and architectural benchmark for Madrid respecting and enhancing the station’s current image and opting for an open terminal that promotes dialogue between the city and the railway it is also planned to cover the 200,000m2 of track which is necessary to unite the unconnected neighbourhoods that have grown up on either side of the station The complex design and implementation of this project is being coordinated together with Crea Madrid Nuevo Norte to ensure that the work is compatible and coordinated with the railway projects underway guaranteeing the feasibility and constructive viability of the whole project The work on the initial foundations and covering piles for the South End of the station is being carried out in parallel with the ongoing high-speed railway works the Basic Project for the covering structures of the North End of the station has been defined and the drafting of the Construction Project will begin soon The Atocha railway complex will undergo a massive change over the upcoming years starting with the comprehensive refurbishment of the access to the historic station from Plaza de Carlos V (work is currently underway) which will boost the station’s pedestrian connection with the main urban axes that converge there optimising its accessibility through landscaped areas with accessible walkways The historic concourse is being remodelled to enlarge the waiting areas for passengers improve and highlight the pedestrian access to the station from the Carlos V roundabout and restore the wide variety of species that were planted in its emblematic tropical garden in 1992 The commercial and leisure potential of this large space will also be enhanced facilitating passenger transit and direct access to the platforms as well as providing information through state-of-the-art technology Work in Plaza del Embarcadero will increase the station’s sustainability with an Ecomilla area a last-mile logistics area for environmentally friendly vehicles and electric recharging points To ensure that the high-speed trains that run through the new international gauge tunnel between Atocha and Chamartín can stop at Atocha a new underground through-station will be commissioned This will be equipped with four new tracks and two platforms located under Calle Méndez Álvaro and under the final two tracks on the west side of the station It will have natural lighting and will be directly connected to the current concourse and the upper high-speed arrivals walkway It will also have a new southern concourse to provide access to the station at the intersection of Calle Méndez Álvaro and Calle Garganta de los Montes This latter change will allow for more direct access to the station from Calle 30 and will relieve traffic congestion when entering the station from the Carlos V roundabout To maintain the station’s capacity while work is being carried out on the through-station two new tracks and a new high-speed platform will be built to the east a 4+4+2 track layout will also be implemented at the commuter terminal so that the Iberian gauge tunnel linking Atocha and Chamartín via Sol will have four tracks at Atocha instead of the current three; four tracks for the Recoletos tunnel; and two tracks for the tunnel on the Móstoles-Fuenlabrada line and all the associated facilities will be upgraded This new configuration will increase the capacity for trains running through the Sol tunnel while also facilitating incident management a new provisional car park will be built to meet the new needs and increase the capacity of the current car parks a third entrance to the station will be built on the eastern side which will improve the station’s intermodal connection capacity superimposed on the commuter train concourse to improve the connection between the two involving the rearrangement of interior spaces and the redistribution of access and exit flows a new road between Avenida Ciudad de Barcelona and Calle Comercio will help to improve the way Atocha station is integrated into its urban environment and will provide easy access to the various car parks ‘Kiss and Ride’ areas and other complementary station facilities The strategic actions being developed at the Madrid-Chamartín-Clara Campoamor and Madrid-Puerta de Atocha-Almudena Grandes stations together with the tunnel linking the two facilities will make it possible to better integrate the stations into the city completely reconfiguring them in terms of both the railway and their architecture as well as transforming and improving the functionality of the railway and

and renovated Chamartín Station or one of the office buildings in the new CBD to stroll through an exceptional green area Have lunch or read a book under the shade of trees bring time to a standstill for a few minutes in a green oasis amidst the hustle and bustle Commuter and high-speed trains are continually passing several metres underground This is only one of many scenarios that will unfold every day in Madrid Nuevo Norte’s future Central Park Madrid has nothing comparable to the green lung that will be created near the future Central Business District The Central Park will be a unique green area urban landscape and surrounding skyscrapers but also its design and technical features The Central Park’s most unique feature is its purpose closing the urban gap created by Chamartín Station’s rail yard and the construction techniques to build one of the world’s largest decks over a railway infrastructure The 13-hectare park will be built over several rail tracks that have existed for decades at Chamartín Station which will continue to be in operation during the construction works This large urban park will continue to grow over a vast concrete deck Will this mean that it will have scarce greenery or short trees since the new green space will have trees up to 15 metres high in 1.5-metre deep fertile soil The depth is enough for large trees to grow deep roots at the popular Salón de Pinos at Madrid Río Madrid Río is an excellent example of a public park built over a transport infrastructure; in this case Given that Madrid already has parks built on human-made decks what makes Madrid Nuevo Norte’s Central Park so unique The answer is its mix of design and location surrounded by the skyscrapers of the future CBD A skyline reminiscent of the “central park” par excellence a space surrounded by an impressive skyline to its proximity to residential and office buildings This park is novel in our environment in that it combines unparalleled access to the future Chamartín Station and is situated adjacent to southern Europe’s most modern business district the park will house top-level cultural facilities Although the design has not yet been determined we can advance that this massive green space will be made accessible for all citizens for their enjoyment it aims to become an iconic image of the city All this means that Central Park will be a destination and a focal point unto itself for all Madrid residents and visitors once Madrid Nuevo Norte is completed Look out for your first newsletter in your inbox soon We help you navigate a myriad of

Renfe to reorganise its services starting in April This will result in the elimination of four trains between Madrid and Alicante for the duration of the construction These works aim to double the station’s capacity for high-speed and long-distance trains As part of the new service structure, an Avlo connection between Alicante and Valladolid will be introduced four daily connections (two in each direction) with Madrid will be suspended This adjustment will remain in effect until the works conclude Adif’s improvement works at Chamartín station will necessitate a reorganisation of services impacting several tracks and requiring adjustments to the terminal’s operational capacity To optimise infrastructure capacity, Renfe and Adif have collaborated extensively on a transportation plan that maintains 95 per cent of the current seat offering new services connecting Alicante with Castilla y León will be introduced Renfe plans to incorporate them into circulation These trains will enhance infrastructure capacity and increase seat availability in select services the most important urban regeneration project in Europe Work has begun on the first infrastructure required for the project with the pilings and foundations that will support the covering over of the railway rail yards located to the south of Madrid-Chamartín-Clara Campoamor station After more than 28 years immersed in the planning stage and having gained final approval in July 2020 Madrid Nuevo Norte is facing a new and definitive milestone as the first urban development work begins officially launched today at a ceremony attended by the Minister for Transport Madrid’s Regional Councillor for the Environment who unveiled a plaque commemorating this historic event and the Urban Agenda emphasised the importance of this act since Madrid Nuevo Norte is “the most important urban regeneration project in Europe a great project in terms of size and investment since it represents our commitment to a specific type of urban development: to a certain model of city and a model of mobility as we are demonstrating with the policies we are promoting has an ambitious vision for mobility and a firm commitment to quality public transport “This project – she added – is based on a dense and compact city model that will foster urban life It has come about through the total renovation of Chamartin station which will be used to structure a new hyperconnected public transport network And it has been designed to put people front and centre and to be easily walkable and bikeable” and Agriculture noted: “The Region of Madrid plans to invest 39 million euros to give Madrid Nuevo Norte two new primary schools and one secondary school which will offer 3,200 places in total” She also highlighted the contributions made by two major public corporations in the Region of Madrid – Metro and Canal de Isabel II – which will be developing some of the most important core infrastructures for Madrid Nuevo Norte Canal de Isabel II will be involved with six hydraulic installation projects and the laying of 12 km of pipelines and Metro de Madrid will build three new stations with an investment of 290 million euros” has defined these starting works as “the best show of the transformative power offered by Madrid Nuevo Norte which will turn the space currently occupied by this railway infrastructure into a destination and a space for people to come together and enjoy And all without interfering with its operational capacity or in the crucial service that the railway offers citizens” These first works involve constructing the first foundation piles and concrete piers that will form part of the structure covering over the rail yards to the south of Chamartín-Clara Campoamor station on top of which the southern section of the Central Park of Madrid Nuevo Norte will be constructed This is the first stage in the development works that will affect the two areas of Madrid Nuevo Norte situated to the south of the M-30 ring road: APR 05.10 Chamartín Station and APE 05.31 Chamartín Business Centre They plan to make the most of the remodelling and extension work being carried out by Adif in the station so that the two sets of works are coordinated thereby minimising possible disruption to rail services 212,000 square metres of rail yards will be covered over (34,900 m2 in the south and 177,015 m2 in the north) building a total of 2,407 piles (vertical structures that provide foundations and are located under the surface) and 1,132 piers (vertical structures on the surface which support the girders for the slab of concrete) a total of 86 piles have already been installed of the 312 that will be placed in the southern head and 83 piers of the 214 to be installed in that same area The complexity of this action has required all parties to coordinate fully in terms of adapting the work since it affects key infrastructures for local and national mobility in another example of the public-private collaboration that is the hallmark of the Madrid Nuevo Norte project in early 2023 another two important steps will be taken: plans will be drawn up to cover over this whole area and the Global Draft Project for area APR 05.10 Chamartín Station will also be drawn up once the contract is awarded by means of the international architecture competition currently underway 2023 looks set to be a key year in the development of the Madrid Nuevo Norte project the urban development initiatives for the different areas should also be formalised so that the Juntas de Compensación (Owners’ Association) can be set up and the urban development projects approved Madrid Nuevo Norte is the city’s major urban transformation project a public initiative involving public-private collaboration Beginning with the complete renewal of Madrid-Chamartín-Clara Campoamor station and the integration of railway land into the city a city model has been designed that places people at the very heart of urban design focusing on public transport and green areas and innovating in terms of sustainability and technology at the service of citizens This action covers an area of 2,357,443 m2 with 1,048,535 m2 of buildable land earmarked for residential construction and 1,608,778 m2 for tertiary and mixed uses to promote urban activity This project offers huge potential to promote economic recovery creating 10,500 new homes —including 38% run by Madrid City Hall— and bringing a new iconic image to the capital with a state-of-the-art Business Centre that will raise Madrid’s international profile It doesn't matter if you don't have the technique down playing the game will bring out a healthy competitive side that always livens up celebrations with friends and family From the 80’s until now there is a type of leisure that has transcended generations: the bowling alleys of Madrid then adopted the American aesthetics where to emulate any series or teenage romantic comedy movie The truth is that the various regional variants of bowling have been with us since at least the Roman Empire with the ritual of shoes (and even clothes) and adjoining bar was developed in the 1950s in the United States Bowling Chamartín is one of the oldest bowling alleys in Madrid this place is likely to be part of your childhood memories of celebrations and weekends It is a reference in the world of bowling and is the official bowling center of the Spanish Bowling Federation championships and private parties have been maintained over the decades palacio de Hielo Shopping Mall (Calle de Silvano During some nights of the weekends they celebrate concerts They usually announce it on their social networks they have special packs for children’s birthday celebrations that already include meals 📍 La Ermita Shopping Center (Pº Ermita del Santo The APE 05.31 Business Centre District is one of the four project areas that make up Madrid Nuevo Norte with a surface area of almost 800,000 m2 and a buildable GFA of 1.3 million m2 and it stretches from Calle Mateo Inurria to the M-30 highway and surrounds the Chamartín-Clara Campoamor Station The future business district of Madrid will be built in this area with nearly one million square metres of office space 2,595 new homes and a large central park covering the railway tracks which will become the green heart of the business centre The Madrid Nuevo Norte CBD will create a new skyline in the capital thanks to the 30 new office buildings that will be erected in the area eight of which will be more than 30 storeys high including a tower of up to 70 storeys that will be the tallest building in Spain As the president of the APE 05.31 Management Committee explained that: ‘Most of this area is zoned for commercial use with a buildable area of 987,000 m2 for offices with the aim of providing the city with the most modern designed to meet the current needs of companies and ready to adapt to the challenges of the future’ Piserra pointed out that the intention ‘is to be able to unveil the initiative for completing the planning of the area during the course of this year will allow us to set up the Owner’s Association and start the development work as soon as possible’ One of the most distinguishing aspects of this business centre in contrast to business centres in other cities with only offices and no life when the working day is over A total of 2,595 dwellings are slated for this business district more than 20% of which will have some form of public protection (houses with publicly protected basic prices [VPPB] and houses with publicly protected limited prices [VPPL]) which is double what is required under the Spanish Land Act [Ley del Suelo] for new developments on urban land ‘But, in addition to subsidised housing,’ said Piserra, ‘the planning has established that the assignments of lucrative use to be received by the Madrid City Council will be given entirely for residential use so that the Council will have an additional 1,600 available free market housing units that it can use for different housing programmes’ the City Council will own 62% of all the housing to be built in the Chamartín Business Centre is something absolutely unique in this type of development’ The Chamartín CBD includes the construction of strategic infrastructures for the city and the region The most striking is undoubtedly the covering of 150,000 m2 of railway tracks: one of the most ambitious engineering works of this type at the international level which will make it possible to create a 14.5-hectare Central Park Covering these tracks will require building 1,800 concrete piles 74 of which have already been built on the rail yard in the southern area of the station a large 33,000-m2 multimodal interchange will be built with access to all local and regional modes of transport and with the capacity to serve more than 105,000 passengers a day The new Metro line that will run through Madrid Nuevo Norte will depart from this interchange The first of the three new stations on this line will be in the heart of the Business Centre and will create a powerful interchange system with the existing Begoña station and the future intermodal area of La Paz Another of the key infrastructures will be Agustín de Foxá Street will have an underground level to allow intercity bus access to the interchange the transit of services associated with the Business Centre This will free most of the road traffic from the surface level of the street leaving the surface level for low-speed traffic the major infrastructures will also include the new urban connections to the north as Madrid Nuevo Norte will not only close the gap between east and west but will also build two new bridges to link north and south over the M-30 ring road: One as an extension of Avenida de Burgos to connect it with Calle Antonio de Cabezón The current Mauricio Legendre bridge will also be upgraded and widened to provide it with green areas that will give continuity to the environmental axis that will run through the whole of Madrid Nuevo Norte By
