The train journey was very pleasant. In terms of equipment, everything important was available and worked without any problems, except for the wifi connection, which unfortunately didn't work properly for me. The comfort around the seats and the catering and service were excellent. The cleanliness was also more than marvellous. In my opinion, the special thing about this train journey is that you don't have to change trains and the punctuality, which was spot on. The price-performance ratio is also more than satisfactory in my opinion. All in all, a really great train journey!

The return journey went smoothly. The train was very punctual and I noticed that the staff went out of their way to make the journey as smooth as possible. The sanitary facilities were very clean and hygienic. To cut a long story short, I didn't notice any problems or disadvantages. There was no need to change trains on the journey. I give the journey 5 stars and recommend it.
Pros
IconCleanliness
Cons
IconNo disadvantages
I bought the ticket online, so I didn't have any stress when I got there. My train was on time and the staff went out of their way to make the journey as relaxed as possible. The toilets were very clean. The seats were very comfortable and I had enough space for myself. The price-performance ratio was very good. I didn't notice any disadvantages, so I would recommend the journey to others. I travelled for about 2 hours and didn't have to change trains.
Pros
IconCleanliness
Cons
IconI could not recognise any weaknesses
Just like the outward journey, the return journey was also very relaxing. The train was very punctual. Some advantages are also that there was good reception, as well as wifi. I was also very happy when I realised how much importance the staff attached to cleanliness. As a result, it was very clean everywhere. As I couldn't find anything negative, I give the train journey my recommendation.
Pros
IconGood temperature
Cons
IconToilet was locked
IconNo catering
Unfortunately, there was no catering on the journey from Valencia to Madrid. The journey only took two and a half hours, we didn't have to change trains and there were no delays. The air conditioning in the AVE 5160 is very commendable, as the temperature was very pleasant, the volume was also reasonable and the seats were comfortable. There was wifi, but no power sockets. However, the toilets were locked and unfortunately I couldn't go to the toilet, which wasn't such a big problem for me as the journey was so short. The price is a bit high, but it was still well worth it.
Pros
IconGreat service
Cons
IconSlight delay but nothing serious
On the whole, the hygiene and cleanliness were a very big plus point. The comfort and journey time were exactly as expected. The train arrived on time and the value for money was an absolute treat. I would happily travel with this provider again.

Exploring Madrid's Cultural Treasures

The Prado Museum, established in 1819, is one of the world's premier art galleries and houses an extensive collection of European masterpieces from artists like Velázquez and Goya. Its significance lies not only in its vast array of artworks but also as a cultural symbol for Spain, showcasing the country's rich artistic heritage to millions each year. Unique features include its stunning neoclassical architecture and the opportunity to view works that span over eight centuries, making it a must-visit for any art lover.

The Royal Palace of Madrid serves as both a historical monument and the official residence of Spanish royalty; however, today it primarily functions for state ceremonies. This grand structure reflects Spain's royal history with opulent rooms adorned with exquisite tapestries and artwork by renowned artists such as Caravaggio. One unique aspect is its expansive gardens—perfectly manicured spaces where you can take leisurely strolls while soaking up breathtaking views overlooking the city.

Plaza Mayor has been at the heart of Madrid since its completion in 1619, serving various roles throughout history—from markets to bullfights—and now stands as a vibrant social hub filled with cafes and shops. The square’s architectural uniformity creates an inviting atmosphere that draws locals and tourists alike into its lively ambiance steeped in tradition. A standout feature is the iconic statue of King Philip III at its center—a perfect photo opportunity amidst this bustling gathering place!
