Correos (Barcelona Metro)
Correos (Spanish) or Correus ( Catalan) was a former Barcelona metro station. The station site is located on what is now line L4 between the existing stations of Jaume I and Barceloneta, and under the street of Via Laietana. The station opened in 1934 as a terminus of a branch of the Gran Metro de Barcelona, Barcelona's first metro line. The Gran Metro de Barcelona came to be known as line L3 but Correos remained the terminus of a branch. The station was dismantled in 1972 to permit the extension of the line into La Barceloneta, as part of the integration of the branch into line L4. Along with Banco, it is one of the two metro stations on Via Laietana that have disappeared.

It is part of the larger public transport system of Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, Spain, with unified fares under the (ATM) scheme.

Gaudí (Barcelona Metro)
Gaudí is a defunct metro station of the Barcelona Metro. The Line 5 train continues to pass through the station. The upper lobby has been converted into an office for retired TMB workers. History Built in the 1960s, the station was originally to be part of the old Line II of the Barcelona Metro. However plans changed and the station was rerouted to part of the Line 5. Because of its close proximity to the station Sagrada Familia, it was ultimately decided not to open the station. As a result, the Gaudí station was fully constructed but has never been opened to the public. Its main lobby currently serves as a retirement office for Barcelona Metro employees.

Banc (Barcelona Metro)
Banc, also called Banco, is a defunct metro station of the Barcelona metro. Built in 1911 as part of the first Barcelona metro line, it has never been opened to the public. History The station was built in 1911 as part of the original tunnel built in the Barcelona metro. It was named Banc (meaning bank) because it was built underneath the building of Banco de España (Bank of Spain), which today is the location of Catalunya Caixa. The station has never been opened to the public. The tunnel and platform were built before the advent of electronic trains, and the infrastructure could not support the new technology. The train passed through the station up until 1926, when it was converted to a storage facility.

La Barceloneta
La Barceloneta () is a neighborhood in the Ciutat Vella district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The neighborhood was built in the 18th century for the residents of the Ribera neighborhood who had been displaced by the construction of the Ciutadella of Barcelona. The neighborhood has a triangular shape, bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, the ''Moll d’Espanya'' of Port Vell, and the El Born neighborhood. This neighborhood has its own flag and metro stop on the Barcelona Metro line 4. The neighborhood can also be explored by taking Las Gorondrinas, which depart from the front port of the Columbus monument. This way, one can see the coastal strip, but the real charm of this neighborhood lies in wandering through its narrow streets and alleys. Torre Sant Sebastià is the terminus of the Port Vell Aerial Tramway; opened in 1931, it connects La Barceloneta with Montjuïc across Port Vell. La Barceloneta is known for its sandy beaches (which appeared in ''Don Quixote'', book 2) ...
