This week-long unescorted rail holiday to Spain's wonderful cities of Barcelona and Madrid is all about letting the train take the strain and making the journey an enjoyable experience. Instead of hanging around at the airport keep on the move on this great European rail trip. Spend a relaxed afternoon on Eurostar from St Pancras to Paris before boarding a sleeper train to Barcelona where you can unwind further in a 2-berth sleeper compartment and wake-up the next morning in Barcelona fresh as a daisy for two-days of independent sightseeing. Spain's high-speed AVE trains mean on day four it's a quick transfer to Madrid for a three-night stay and plenty of time to explore this grand capital city.
