Madrid Metro
The Madrid Metro (Spanish: ''Metro de Madrid'') is a rapid transit system serving the city of Madrid, capital of Spain. The system is the 14th longest rapid transit system in the world, with a total length of 293 km (182 mi). Its growth between 1995 and 2007 put it among the fastest-growing networks in the world at the time, rivaling many Asian metros such as the Mass Transit Railway (Hong Kong), Shanghai Metro, Guangzhou Metro, Beijing Subway, and Delhi Metro. However, the European debt crisis greatly slowed expansion plans, with many projects being postponed and canceled. Unlike normal Spanish road and rail traffic, which drive on the right, Madrid Metro trains use left-hand running on all lines because traffic in Madrid drove on the left until 1924, five years after the system started operating. Trains are in circulation every day from 6:00 am until 1:30 am, though during the weekends, this schedule is to be extended by one more hour in the morning in 2020. Furth ...

Prince Of Vergara (title)
Prince of Vergara ( es, Príncipe de Vergara) was a life title in the Peerage of Spain, granted in 1872 by Amadeo I to Baldomero Espartero, who was Regent of Spain from 1840 to 1843. The title makes reference to the Convention of Vergara, a symbolic embrace between Espartero and Rafael Maroto which put an end to the First Carlist War in 1839. As a life title, it was not inheritable and thus ceased to exist after Espartero's death in 1879. History When Isabella II was dethroned by the Glorious Revolution, the provisional government offered the Spanish Crown to Espartero, an offer that the general rejected. The throne would finally be accepted in December 1870 by Amadeo of Savoy, Duke of Aosta, who visited Espartero in 1871 at his palace in Logroño. Espartero went to meet king Amadeo at the railway station dressed in a gala suit as captain general, accompanied by civil and military authorities of the city. Both traveled together to the general's house, where the monarch spent ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
