Barcelona trams 50 years ago


Scenes in the capital of Spanish Catelonia by Doug Grotjahn, early 1960s.  The Barcelona tramway system was closed by 1971 except for the Tramvia Blau, a heritage operation.  But new light rail lines (standard gauge) were created in 2004 with expansion proposed. Website

Incidentally, Barcelona has the same latitude (north) as Wellington (south).
