Train Travel in Spain
By Ciara Carruthers
Spain rail travel is both convenient and affordable, aside from being a fun way to visually experience the whole of Spain from the luxury of a comfortable seat. From Barcelona you can hop to Madrid within a few hours, from Cadiz to Valencia or from Oviedo in the North to Almeria in the South.
Spain's national train system, Renfe, provides an excellent network of trains across the country and also has a detailed website (http://www.renfe.es/) which is available in English, as well as Spanish. It is possible to purchase your travel tickets online, via this website, and to check the timetable of the trains for your journey.
