I love the high speed train from Madrid to Asturias. Ten years ago it was a solid 8 hour journey, but with the high speed improvements through the Asturian mountains we can now make it in just under 6. The great thing about rail travel is the seats are unbelievably roomy (even for the wide butt) and so much leg room. It is quite refreshing after a 9 hour flight with your knees just under your chin! Since I will never be able to afford first class airfare I indulge in very affordable first class train accommodation's. The meals are very delicious and include before dinner cava and after dinner liquors. ...........
The food AND the cava AND the liquors were lovely...... as well as the nap that followed zzzzzzzz
