Originally planned around a one-week railtour that was postponed, I amended my plans to include a few days at my sister's place in Sanlúcar de Guadiana in Spain, plus a few days either side travelling over routes in the Barcelona area. Barcelona has a very complex network of railways, more so than Madrid, with a mixture of metre gauge, standard gauge and broad gauge train services, plus an extensive metro and a number of tram routes.I also wanted to cover the high speed line between France and Barcelona - I had planned for this in January 2020 but was thwarted by flooding in France. Barcelona hotels are very expensive so I stayed at convenient locations away from the city centre.
