The North of Spain is the most beautiful region of the country

💯 agree

Spain is truly a place to spend a lifetime exploring. I spent 3 weeks in this region back in January 2022 and it was my 5th visit to Spain after having lived the for 1 year some years ago. In January 2022 I took this same train route but started further afield in Vigo. The train station at Vigo is under a brand new modern shopping mall that is like 4 stories. Is an engineering marvel, incredibly new and clean. For visiting and exploring Spain here's how I would do it. Live or study in Barcelona in your 20s -- explore all of Catalonia Move to Madrid in your 30s -- explore the central region and make money in the capital Buy a nice property with farm land in Galicia or Basque country in your late 30s early-40s Buy a beach house in your late 40s early 50s and enjoy the South of Spain in your golden years with frequent visits back home to the North. Amazing country!

The speed limit is 200 kph because of signaling system ASFA, reaching 250kph is only available under RTMS system, from Ourense to Santiago (iberian gauge) has been deployed just one month ago.

@tucuuk

8 ай бұрын

The ERTMS installation between Vigo and A Coruña was completed in August but there is still a lot of work to do to enable trains to reach 250km/h. Mainly around object/obstacle detection and separation of HS trains from freight and conventional passenger trains.

@NonstopEurotrip

8 ай бұрын

I hope to try it soon 😁

Hello, The reason why this happens is related to the security system installed in the infrastructure. In the case of the Iberian gauge lines and in all the trains today that use the Iberian gauge lines, the security system currently present is what we call ASFA, which only works at speeds of up to 200 km/h. To exceed that speed, trains and infrastructure need to be equipped with ERTMS Level 1 or 2. Greetings!

There's not much to try unfortunately!

As part of the Spanish gov anti-inflation measures, you can buy a ticket for unlimited Media Distancia trips such as this one between any pair of stations for 20€ per natural quarter, which oftenly is more than a single ticket but cheaper than a return ticket. If you take more than 16 trains using that ticket within the quarter, then you will have your 20€ back. It's uncertain if this measure will be continued during 2024, but the government seems to be happy about the increased ridertship.
