Passengers wait for their trains at Atocha station in Madrid on April 29, 2025, the day after a massive power cut affecting the entire Iberian peninsula and the south of France. Electricity was restored to almost all of Spain and Portugal on April 29 morning, allowing a gradual return to normal life in the two countries, which were hit on April 28 by a giant blackout that lasted up to ten or even twenty hours depending on the region. The return of power has enabled rail traffic to be restored on several major routes, including Madrid-Seville and Madrid-Barcelona, according to the national company Renfe. However, traffic remains suspended on several other major routes, as the authorities have given priority to restoring suburban trains. (Photo by Thomas COEX / AFP)
