The book awarded in this edition presents the case of the railway from Baeza to Saint Girons, a great transversal axis that crossed the Iberian Peninsula connecting France with the port of Algeciras and that, after years of work and vicissitudes, would never be put into operation.

The aim of the research is to promote and disseminate the architecture of intermediate railway stations as identifiable pieces of our railway history. We have taken as witnesses the existing buildings on the ‘non nata’ railway line that runs between the towns from Teruel to Alcañiz.

In their buildings, as well as responding to new approaches that break with the previously executed railway architecture, they are configured as a lamp of experimentation among a varied range of materials produced by industry, in coexistence with traditional techniques and materials.

The synthesis of the research takes the form of a catalogue which, in a legible and orderly manner, provides a complete and identifiable view of the entire group of buildings in number and extension, indicating their location, characteristics and state of conservation.
