When I arrived to
Madrid Barajas Airport at 7:15 AM Spain Time (1:15 Am Baltimore time), I wondered around the airport like a lost tourist struggling to carry 2 heavy suitcase, in attempt to look for the 2 euro bus that would take me to
Atocha Train station in Madrid. Lucky I asked an assistant who spoke English to point me in the right direction. I had arrived at Atocha, in the center of the city with only a little more than an hour to spare. I didn't want to leave my suitcases, nor my seat for that matter since I hadn't slept on the plane and was terribly exhausted. I awaited my high speed rail tript to Valencia, where I would be spending the next 5 months (besides 2 weeks stuyding Spanish language in
Gandia).
I took this
video of the train ride. Admittingly, it was quit exciting to be going that fast. I progressively check the meter in front of the car to see the train's speed.
Notice what looks like to be an asteroid (probably an airplane) at 1:50, the sudden fog that appears in 2:30, how the train eventually reaches a speed of over 300 kmph (186.4 mph), and the beautiful wind farm at the very end.
