A train unit on the Barcelona-Vallès line and another on the Llobregat-Anoia line will now run under the name of architect Antoni Gaudí i Cornet. This action is part of the centenary of his death and was celebrated at an event at Plaça Catalunya station in Barcelona.
The event was attended by the president of Ferrocarrils, Carles Ruiz Novella, and the director of the Gaudí Chair at UPC and commissioner of the Year of Gaudí, Galdric Santana Roma. The Year of Gaudí 2026 is a commemoration by the Generalitat Government, promoted by the Gaudí Council, an body attached to the Department of Culture.
Inside the series 115 train, which is now in service, a quote from Gaudí can be read: 'The love of truth must be above all other love.' This initiative joins other FGC vehicles named after prominent Catalan figures.
Through this initiative, Ferrocarrils aims to bring citizens closer to spaces linked to Gaudí's work, such as the Rosari Monumental de Montserrat, Colònia Güell, Casa Batlló, La Pedrera, Casa Vicens, Palau Güell, and Torre Bellesguard, using its trains and combined tickets.
