Spain has one the best train systems in the world. They are not cheap but they are fast, clean and very comfortable and they all meet here in the city of Madrid at the Porte Dutch Station.
Madrid has two train station one them in the north Chamartin and this one Atocha Station, we are right in the center. From here you can go anywhere in the country. From the Atocha Station, you can take the famous AVE train, we know it as the bullet train. It will get you to anywhere in Spain between one and two in half hours.
Today, Madrid is user-friendly, went to Zaragoza—check out the Expo 2008 which is due to start on the 14th of June and ends on 18th of September. And we took the AVE, the trip was less than two hours and it was under a hundred Euros, back and fourth.
Now, we can discover this wonderful train and these beautiful stations, it will get you everywhere and the next problem is how to buy a ticket.
Madrid is user-friendly, we suggest to buy on the web or from a travel agent, because we tried buying one here at the station at the counter or in the little machines. Today, the counters are empty, but the other day the counter were absolutely crowded and sometimes it is an hour late There is an secret though, you come to the last minutes, they often put on a last minute counter and the last minute counter is if there is room or space on the train.
This is Necrisha Aldaw from the Juder’s user-friendly, trying to get you to come and visit us in Madrid.
