Train from London to Madrid
Overview
Don't miss the restaurant carriage - it is a veritable fiesta, with Spanish diners seemingly eating and drinking their way from north to south, toasting the Spanish border with national wines. Worth booking a luxury couchette (for two) with hot shower to clear the post-party head in the morning.
