Atocha

Up at 5am on breakfast duties before a quick walk down to Sants Station in Barcelona in chilly weather (can't actually remember when I last experienced a cold day . . . probably that trip to London in the middle of April) and the fast train to Madrid to join the Scottish boys weekend that starts later today.

A major metro line is under renovation so I used the local railways that run under the city and out to surrounding towns to take me to our hostal. It was actually much faster than the metro so a good travel find. Talking of travel, this kind of scene has always done it for me . . . the excitement of the off, the unknown contained in the light at the end of the tunnel!
