This is not a book about trains but about the variety of Spain. The best-selling author Christopher Howse makes 10 great railway journeys that explore the interior of the peninsula, its astonishing landscapes and ancient buildings. The focus is the way the Spanish live now their habits, streets, characters, stories - and quite a bit about their eating and drinking.
Christopher Howse has been traveling around Spain for 25 years, and has now made a 3,000-mile circumnavigation by train from the top of the Pyrenees through the vulture-haunted wilds of Extremadura and the Spaghetti Western deserts of the south, to the ancient hilltop city of Cuenca and beyond. On the way he meets troglodytes, visits a city ruined by an earthquake, runs into a dancing lion, stumbles across a body-snatching plot and tries out a recipe for acorn pie. An entertaining exploration of a much-loved country, The Train in Spain gives a fascinating and entirely original portrait of a strange land at a time of great change.

The Train in Spain Ten Great Journeys Through the Interior (Audible Audio Edition) Christopher Howse Ralph Lister Audible Studios for Bloomsbury Books Reviews
Entertaining bit of travel writing by one who clearly knows his subject. Mr Howse writes clearly and authoritatively on his travels by minor rail. I recommend, however, that if yo hare not fully familiar with the territory (like me) you might keep a map alongside.
Enjoyable armchair travel, not about railway equipment but sympathetic view of contemporary life along the rail lines. Includes small town churches and their architecture.
Though I'm not a fan of trains - I was brought up in the UK and they are depressing there, I spend a lot of time in Spain and all the public transport is good, so I thought I'd give it a go.
It's not really about trains it is all about the smaller destinations, architecture, food, history, employment prospects, white elephants etc
Quite a short book, but has given me another half dozen must visit places in Spain
