Valdebernardo (Madrid Metro)
Valdebernardo is a station on line 9 of Madrid Metro which runs under Indalecio Prieto Boulevard, in the Vicálvaro district of Madrid district, serving the Valdebernardo ''barrio''. It is located in fare Zone A. The station opened its doors on 1 December 1998. The project leaders rejected the original name "Lucio de Mingo" (a war hero to some) because of possible conflicts. Valdebernardo, the name eventually chosen, translates to "Bernardo's Valley" and refers to the Barcelona, Barcelonian Bernardo Gomez, ancestor of the landlord. Metro Valdebernardo is special in the way its exits are located at the end of the spacious platforms and not, as is usual for most single-line stations, in hallways that branch off to the sides. Due to the station having been built underneath a green strip in the middle of the central road of the neighbourhood, it also has skylights.

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 ...
