«The connection to Spain for Barca d'Alva was considered of vital economic interest at the end of the nineteenth century, and its construction (including the Spanish side) was financed by a bank syndicate port. A series of 20 tunnels and 13 bridges took the train to La Fregeneda (to 17 kms) from Barca d'Alva, which went to Salamanca. In 1988 the movement is interrupted between Pocinho and Barca d'Alva following the Spanish decision (1985) to abandon this connection border.»
