Journey to Europe's UNLUCKIEST train station (it went wrong)

This was AWFUL 😬

This was supposed to be a scenic route through the Pyrenees. Instead, it turned into one of the worst experiences of train travel I’ve ever had. From frozen platforms to missed connections, this train travel vlog shows just how wrong a journey can go—even in Western Europe.

My destination was Canfranc Station, one of the most bizarre pieces of rail infrastructure in the country. It’s not some elegant relic—it’s unlucky, awkward, and halfway between a renovation project and an abandoned dream. If you’re into abandoned places, you’ll want to see this.

In the video, I cover every part of the journey: what worked, what didn’t, and what I wish I knew before attempting this route. If you're planning your own trip, stick around for train travel in Europe tips and a few hard-earned train travel tips based on what went wrong.
