Spain has the most extensive high-speed rail network in Europe and the second-largest in the world after China. Thirty-four years after the first high-speed train between Madrid and Seville, the network now connects more than 50 cities in Spain. There is now political disagreement over the extent to which the infrastructure on the Madrid-Seville line, among the oldest in the high-speed network, had been overhauled. Despite the blame game, the truth is that the high-speed network has been the result of a long-term commitment by politicians across the political spectrum. And yes, there is still a lot to love about trains in Spain.
