Bilbao [bilˈβao] is a station on Line 1 and Line 4 of the Madrid Metro. It is located in Zone A and is near to the Glorieta de Bilbao.[1][2]

History

The station opened in 1919 on Line 1 and is one of the first eight stations on the network between Cuatro Caminos and Sol. The Line 4 station opened in 1944 on the first section on the line between Argüelles and Goya.
