Paco de Lucía [ˈpako ðe luˈθi.a] station completes the extension of Line 9 of the Madrid Metro. It is located in fare Zone A[1] and serves around 50.000 potential new users. It opened on 25 March 2015,[2] becoming the 301st station in the Metro Madrid network at the time. While the station was originally to be named Costa Brava, it was ultimately named after the Spanish musician and guitarist Paco de Lucía (1947–2014), a former resident of the district in which the station is located, who died in 2014.[3]
The new station also has a special feature that makes it unique in Spain with it being the first Metro station decorated with street art, specifically a great 300-square metre mural showing the face of the man it was named after. Street artists Okuda and Rosh333, in collaboration with architect Antonyo Marest and under the supervision of the Madrid Street Art Project, created the impressive work of art, which presides over the forecourt of the station.[4]
The homonymous Cercanías Madrid station, built by Adif above the Metro station, was inaugurated on 5 February 2018.[5] It allows connection with lines C-3, C-7 and C-8.
