Calle de Méndez Álvaro is a street in Madrid, Spain, stretching between Plaza del Emperador Carlos V and Calle del Convenio. It lies mostly within the Arganzuela district, forming the boundary between the Atocha neighborhood to the east and the Palos de la Frontera, Delicias, and Legazpi neighborhoods to the west. It crosses, via an underpass, the old ring road railway line (currently used by the Cercanías Madrid commuter rail lines C-1, C-7, and C-10) and the M-30 ring road, briefly entering the Entrevías neighborhood of the Puente de Vallecas district. Finally, after another underpass beneath the railway lines to Valencia and Barcelona, as well as those providing access to the Abroñigal freight station, it ends at Calle del Convenio in the San Diego neighborhood. It is named in memory of the doctor, hygienist and former mayor of Madrid, Francisco Méndez Álvaro (1806–1883). It runs parallel to the Avenida de la Ciudad de Barcelona, from which it is separated by the railway tracks of the Atocha station, and becomes the gateway to Madrid for many travelers, since it houses the South Bus Station, the most important of the long-distance stations in the entire city. Its intersections include Calle del Comercio, Calle de Pedro Bosch, Avenida del Planetario and the M-30.

The Atocha station memorial is a memorial monument located at Atocha station in Madrid, Spain, that commemorates the 191 victims of the 11 March 2004 Madrid train bombings. Furthermore, it also honors the special forces agent who died when seven suicide bombers blew themselves up on 3 April 2004 during a raid on an apartment used by the bombers. The 11 m (36 ft) tall cylinder stands above Atocha station, the destination of the four trains that were attacked. Texts composed of hundreds of expressions of grief sent in the days after the attack from all over the world are printed on a clear colourless membrane that is inflated by air pressure, rising balloon-like inside a cylinder. That structure is composed of glass blocks and sits on a platform or terrace overhead. The light in the empty blue room below comes from this source alone. At night the cylinder is illuminated by lamps within its base and can be seen throughout the station neighborhood. King Juan Carlos, Queen Sofia and Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero attended a ceremony at the site on the third anniversary of the bombings, 11 March 2007. Wreaths were laid at the foot of the tower and mourners observed three minutes of silence.
