Miquel Biada

“I bet 10,000 pesos that when I return to Catalonia (from Cuba) that in less than four years we will go from Barcelona to Mataró by train”

Miquel Biada (1789-1848) was born in Mataró but tra­ve­lled around half the world doing busi­ness and set­ting up com­pa­nies. Towards the end of his life he went back to Mataró with the aim of making the first train line in Cata­lo­nia. He mana­ged to over­come all sorts of obs­ta­cles and did it des­pite many peo­ple thinking his idea was absurd. That first train revo­lu­ti­o­ni­sed our way of tra­ve­lling.
