Me leaving for Barcelona, Saturday 7th of January 2023

We are travelling by AVE today, the Spanish high speed train. We will travel at some 270 km/h, flying through the Spanish landscape!

We start our trip in style, travelling first class on the AVE. It´s because 2nd class was already fully booked. But first class was cheap with our Interrail Global Pass, only 13,40 euros per person.

First Class - I´m VIP! 😆

We´ll be staying in Barcelona tonight, because there was no good connections to continue our trip today.

Hopefully we will have time to see a bit of Barcelona, I have never been to this city before.

Tomorrow (Sunday 8th of January 2023), we travel from Barcelona to Paris, France.
