As you know, I am pea green with envy! Barcelona is on my bucket list. And I am hoping to use the rail service between Barcelona and Madrid when I go...hopefully next year.

I am flying to Barcelona from Washington, DC on January 17, 2024 and will do a day trip to Madrid on AVE and Oryo to compare before heading to Milan, Venice and Rome. This trip will complete my European high speed rail tour which began in 2008.

How was the ride quality? Smooth or rough?

Smooth as silk. Very quiet, too.
