"Recordando viejos Ferrocarriles de vía estrecha"


"Al final de la antigua explanada de la estación en sentido Calahorra, nos encontramos con la boca sur del túnel de Arnedillo."

En 1942, la Explotación de Ferrocarriles por el Estado decidió iniciar las obras para completar los cinco kilómetros que faltaban desde la estación de Préjano a la de Arnedillo.

Arnedillo se encuentra ubicado en un altozano enclavado en un desfiladero junto al río Cidacos. La falta de espacio obligó a los ingenieros que planificaron el ferrocarril construir un grandioso túnel en curva que pasaba por debajo de la población y terminaba a la entrada de la estación; ubicada esta en una nueva explanada junto al río a las afueras del municipio.

Finalmente, en julio de 1947 se culminó la construcción de todo el conjunto y los trenes pudieron llegar a la por entonces nueva estación...

Tristemente este pequeño ferrocarril nunca tuvo el éxito deseado y tras varios años de profunda crisis operativa por pérdidas, FEVE decidió clausurar la línea definitivamente en 1966.

"Tanto esfuerzo y dinero gastado para tan solo 19 años de uso..."

"En la actualidad, el túnel se encuentra abierto al público e iluminado, siendo uno de los lugares más visitados de la preciosa población Riojana."

"Remembering Old Narrow-Gauge Railways"


"At the end of the old station esplanade heading towards Calahorra, we find the southern entrance of the Arnedillo tunnel."

In 1942, the State Railway Operation (Explotación de Ferrocarriles por el Estado) decided to begin construction to complete the missing five kilometers from Préjano station to Arnedillo station.

Arnedillo is located on a hill nestled within a gorge next to the Cidacos River. This lack of space forced the railway planning engineers to build a massive, curved tunnel that ran underneath the town and ended at the station entrance. This station was situated on a new esplanade next to the river on the outskirts of the municipality.

Finally, in July 1947, the entire project was completed, and trains were able to reach the—then brand new—station.

Sadly, this small railway never achieved the desired success. After several years of a deep operational crisis due to financial losses, FEVE (the Spanish Narrow-Gauge Railway company) decided to permanently close the line in 1966.

"So much effort and money spent for only 19 years of use..."

"Today, the tunnel is open to the public and fully lit, making it one of the most visited spots in this beautiful town in La Rioja."

The Archaeological Park of Stobi is one of the most important archaeological sites in North Macedonia. Once a prosperous Roman city at the crossroads of major trade routes, Stobi flourished between the 1st century BC and the 6th century AD. Today, visitors can explore the remains of basilicas, Roman streets, elegant villas, and some of the finest early Christian mosaics in the Balkans. This photograph shows the beautifully preserved octagonal baptistery of the Episcopal Basilica. The richly decorated 5th-century mosaics, featuring birds, deer, fish, and intricate geometric patterns, symbolize themes of faith, life, and paradise. The marble columns once supported the roof above the baptismal font, where new Christians were baptized over fifteen centuries ago. The conservation of the baptistery and its magnificent mosaics has been supported by the U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation, helping to preserve one of North Macedonia's most remarkable examples of early Christian art. During our visit, the archaeological park was almost deserted. The peaceful atmosphere made it easy to imagine life in this flourishing city during Late Antiquity. Stobi was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our journey through North Macedonia.

Het Archeologisch Park Stobi behoort tot de belangrijkste archeologische vindplaatsen van Noord-Macedonië. Ooit was Stobi een bloeiende Romeinse stad op het kruispunt van belangrijke handelsroutes. De stad beleefde haar hoogtepunt tussen de 1e eeuw v.Chr. en de 6e eeuw n.Chr.. Tegenwoordig zijn nog indrukwekkende resten te bewonderen van basilieken, Romeinse straten, villa's en enkele van de mooiste vroegchristelijke mozaïeken op de Balkan. Op deze foto is het prachtig bewaard gebleven achthoekige baptisterium van de Bisschopsbasiliek te zien. De rijk gedecoreerde mozaïeken uit de 5e eeuw, met afbeeldingen van vogels, herten, vissen en sierlijke geometrische patronen, behoren tot de fraaiste voorbeelden van vroegchristelijke mozaïekkunst in Noord-Macedonië. De marmeren zuilen droegen ooit het dak boven het doopbassin, waar ruim vijftien eeuwen geleden nieuwe christenen werden gedoopt. De restauratie en conservering van het baptisterium en de mozaïeken is mede mogelijk gemaakt door het U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation, waardoor dit bijzondere erfgoed voor toekomstige generaties behouden blijft. Tijdens ons bezoek was het archeologische park vrijwel verlaten. De rust maakte het gemakkelijk om je voor te stellen hoe levendig deze stad ooit moet zijn geweest. Stobi was zonder twijfel één van de hoogtepunten van onze reis door Noord-Macedonië.
