Sunday marked the 3rd anniversary of the Madrid train bombings. There were gatherings throughout Spain to remember the event(I saw one in Sevilla). In commemoration, Madrid unveiled it's official memorial next to the Atoche train station where all the trains on that day were headed (and where I arrived late Sunday night). I had some free time today so I went to Atoche and saw the memorial. The entrance is inside the station, where you look up inside a large glass block cylinder. Clear plastic hangs inside the cylinder, printed with words left by well wishers in the days following the attack. It was very serene, a stark contrast to the bustling Atoche station.
