Fast train…to Costa Brava

We are on a high-speed train (up to 186 mph!!) from Madrid to Barcelona, and then a second (slower) train on to Costa Brava.

This train is so fast, we can't take a good picture!

Macy’s fever is gone, we are up early, and enjoying our speedy view of the countryside of Spain. We can’t help continuously noticing how similar it looks to California, to include the wind turbines!

Are we in California?

Wind turbines! We are definitely in California

We passed a lot of small villages: some in valleys, others built into hills, and a seemingly endless supply of olive groves. What I loved the best were small rural homesteads with large gardens (like ones I’ve seen in movies). These passed so fast, I couldn’t capture them on camera. Bobby turns and says to me, “I don’t know what you’re doing, but I’m moving to Spain!”

    Yes, we did! But I guess its the end of the season because they were all wilted and dying. Doesn’t make a great picture 🙂 lol
