"Barbarela" is surely the oddest station name of the Malaga Metro. Most of the stations are rather predictably named after the barrios they serve, but there is no barrio called Barbarela.
It's tempting to invent a sequence of random events in which the 1960s comic book character played by Jane Fonda somehow ends up inspiring the name of a metro station in a Spanish provincial city.
But invention is not required: it turns out that really is what happened.
