Description
Slow Trains Around Spain: A 3,000-Mile Adventure on 52 Rides Join Tom Chesshyre on a journey through Spain by train, a unique way to experience the country's diverse landscapes and cultures. From the mountains to the coast, and from bustling cities to rural towns, Chesshyre shares his encounters, mishaps, and happy days as he travels across Spain. Along the way, he visits hidden spots, such as those in Catalonia, and explores the plains of Aragon, the north coast, and the cathedrals and palaces of Valencia and Granada. He also stops in Madrid, the wilds of Extremadura, dusty mining towns, and finally, Seville, the beguiling capital of Andalusia. With a mix of adventure, humor, and insight, Chesshyre's account of his train travels offers a fresh perspective on Spain, moving beyond the popular image of "holiday Spain".
