Smooth train rides in Spain

 I love trains.

I especially love well run and smooth riding trains.

So here's another comparison video.  A few years back I had a post about the Shinkansen in Japan.

So here's the video:


We were going 152 MPH in this video, routinely ran at 168 MPH and was just as smooth.   I was curious why 168MPH - seemed like a weird speed but turns out it's 270 KPH so it's a nice round number in metric. (obligatory screen shot of speed app on phone) - Also sorry about the cough in the video.




The trains have very cool looking color schemes (livery is the word for that in the train world right?)





Anyway - 10 out of 10 would recommend Spanish Rail - Renfe - as a mode of travel in Spain.
