I was really looking forward to this journey. I always wondered if the train these days would be easier than flying.
Yes, being 7 minutes walk from the Alicante train station was brilliant. It was refreshing to just walk in, and then cue at the gate/ platform for the train. Also needing to be on the platform 15 minutes before the train left was excellent.
Overall, I found catching the train easy and mostly affordable in Spain.
Arriving in Valencia
It was only about 2 hours on the train, and then I was standing in the Valencia Train Station….. very quick.
Again I’d chosen an airbnb that was only 10 minutes walk from the train station. Very handy again.
