Chesshyre, Tom - Slow Trains Around Spain: A 3,000-Mile Adventure on 52 Rides | Book

Slow Trains Around Spain: A 3,000-Mile Adventure on 52 Rides by Tom Chesshyre is a travel narrative documenting the author's exploration of Spain via its lesser-known, regional railways.

Between soaring mountains, across arid deserts, parched plains and valleys of fruit orchards and olive groves, down glittering coastlines and along viaducts towering above plunging ravines there is no better way to see Spain than by train.

From hidden spots in Catalonia, through the plains of Aragon and across the north coast to Santiago de Compostela, Chesshyre continues his journey via Madrid, the wilds of Extremadura, dusty mining towns, the cathedrals and palaces of Valencia and Granada, and finally to Seville, Andalusias beguiling (and hot) capital.

Encounters? Plenty. Mishaps? A lot. Happy Spanish days? All the way.
