Córdoba to Madrid

Ned loves trains, so riding on the brand new Iryo high-speed train from Córdoba to Madrid was a real treat. The train covered the 400 km trip in 2 hours, compared to the 4 hours it would take by car. The bright red Italian-produced carriages can travel at a top speed of 400 km per hour, but the highest we actually saw today was 277 km per hour.

Our tiny Airbnb is in the multi-cultural section of the city known as Lavapies. Our apartment overlooks a central courtyard, so although all the streets around here are full of traffic and the noise level is pretty high, our own little space is totally quiet.Weiterlesen
