Between soaring mountains, across arid deserts, parched plains and bountiful valleys, down glittering coastlines and along viaducts towering above plunging ravines… there is no better way to see Spain than by train.
Tom Chesshyre hits the tracks to take in the country on a series of clattering rides beyond the popular image of “holiday Spain”.
Between soaring mountains, across arid deserts, parched plains and valleys of fruit orchards and olive groves, down glittering coastlines and along viaducts towering above plunging ravines... there is no better way to see Spain than by train.
Tom Chesshyre hits the tracks to take in the country through carriage windows on a series of clattering rides beyond the popular image of "holiday Spain" (although he stops by in Benidorm and Torremolinos too). From hidden spots in Catalonia, through the plains of Aragon and across the north coast to Santiago de Compostela, Chesshyre continues his journey via Madrid, the wilds of Extremadura, dusty mining towns, the cathedrals and palaces of Valencia and Granada, and finally to Seville, Andalusia's beguiling (and hot) capital.
Encounters? Plenty. Mishaps? A lot. Happy Spanish days? All the way.
