Old Railway Station in El Hijate

Continuing on my search for abandoned railway stations located on the old GSSR route (closed in 1985) I was planning to visit Tijola today.


But looking at the map I realised I hadn't done El Hijate yet, despite having done the stations before and after it.


So I thought I'd better pick that one up before I get further into Almeria itself.


Here's the map so far......the green spots are where I've already been.

In the interests of authenticity I managed to locate an old photo of El Hijate station in what appears to be around the 1950's.


That was then.....

And this is now....
