2010: SPOTLIGHT ON ESPANA STATION





Love The Philippines & Philippine Contact.




Espana station was a station in Metro Manila, located between Laon Laan and Santa Mesa on the former section of southern line between Tutuban and Calamba.
It was recently closed, along with the section of railway, to make way for the construction of a new elevated line. 
Opened: 1977
Closed: 2024
