Today we traveled for the second time on a train but this ride was significantly shorter but took much longer because the trains did not travel as fast as the AVE high speed trains.
Madrid to Cordoba – 183 miles – 102 minutes – 108 mph
Cordoba to Granada – 80 miles – 152 minutes – 32 mph
The difference between the two rides is staggering and shows how a high speed train network can improve over a standard network making it actually competitive.
