Here, in pictures, is our trip by high speed train from Madrid to Sevilla. The train, smoothly and quietly, transported us at 155 mph through the countryside. It was truly a joy to ride. To the ledger of Ways-The-Spanish-Are-Doing-It-Right, below the
desayuno tradicional and the many public book stalls, I now add the high speed rail system.
In the parts of Spain I've visited, I give somebody credit for great trains and subways and big, metropolitan plazas (sometimes they are blissfully quiet because the traffic goes underground) and small neighborhood plazas and gardens.
