Hello everyone!
I decided to go ahead and try travelling for the first time on high speed rail.
I booked a trip between Barcelona and Madrid, on the Renfe AVE, on October 18.
The ticket was acquired for 16€, at a time and price neither Ouigo nor Avlo could beat (somehow).
The plan is to fly in to Barcelona on Vueling during the morning and travel from the Airport to B. Sants, having lunch along the way if I can.
Once on Madrid I'll be spending the night there, and will fly back home the next morning, on Ryanair.
Unfortunately, due to COVID, I won't take the train neither to and from Spain, as I could have the option to take the Lusitania to Coimbra, instead of spending the night in Madrid.
At the time of booking I also didn't know that the Celta Porto-Vigo would be brought back to full timetable this next Monday, October 11, so that was also put off the table.
So that'll be it. For less than 80€ in bookings I'll be travelling above 220km/h for the first time in my life.
