Atocha train station in Madrid looks like an ordinary station from the outside, but the hall isn't full of tracks, trains and platforms as you would expect. Instead there is this jungle and the actual platforms are far in the back of the building. #traveling

I also noticed this strange behavior on all clocks around the station. Why is it?
The only explanation I have is that all the clocks are synchronized by some minute signal. The second hand is there just for effect and runs faster on purpose to be on 12 in time when the sync signal comes. #engineer #traveling
