One day last week I hopped on the high-speed train to Madrid to meet
up with a visiting LUGger and see the big Winogrand exhibition. Left
Alicante at 7:20, arrived Madrid 9:30. Back to Alicante at 19:20 that
evening. A bit over two hours each way on the AVE (Spanish for
high-speed train), 90 Euro round trip, compared to 4 hours by car at
roughly the same cost for fuel. The civilised way to travel.
