She emphasised the pioneering nature of Metro and the great transformation and cohesion that it has represented for Madrid. Theatrical representations, historical photographs and anecdotes recall the early days of Compañía Metropolitano Alfonso XIII. The first line, called Norte-Sur (North-South), had eight stations and covered a route of four kilometres.
