This neighbourhood, one of Barcelona's most deprived areas and until very recently made up mostly of cheap public housing has been undergoing some renovation.

Until the opening of the line to La Sagrera, the lower platform was closed and all trains travelled on the upper level.

The walls of the tunnel where the platforms are located are cladded with cast stone panels with different densities, curves and perforations.

The process combines white pre-cast stone with a gentle acid-etched finish and encrusted glass beads that let light filter through.

Each platform is equipped with white cast stone benches with a shiny polished finish rest on cantilevered metal brackets to camouflage the station's air-conditioning outlets.
