Description

The bus station of this town in Cáceres welcomes the traveller with its bold and expressive forms. The author's idea was to create a threshold that welcomes travellers and connects them with the local building tradition of vaults. The building has two arches, the smaller one enclosing the waiting room and the larger one providing shade for the arrival of buses. Located opposite a nursery school, the concrete building has become an icon for the town, especially for its young residents, who use it as a slide.
