Four days in Madrid
STA Explorers Meg and Mojo have hit their first destination Madrid, and their series of blog posts about their four days spent in the city is an absolute must-read for anyone thinking of interrailing around Europe. With detailed descriptions of their experiences and discoveries each day, Epic Interrailing Romp contains a host of tips and insights into the hostels they stayed at, the places they ate and the attractions they rate, such as the Prado and Botanic Gardens.
Fellow interrailers will find their advice on navigating the local ‘fabulous, sleek and modern’ train services invaluable, such as this little nugget:
It’s definitely advisable to book your tickets on arrival in the train station, or if like us you don’t arrive by train then make an excursion there a day or two before you want to depart. You never know if the train will have space, if you will need to wait a long time, or if you will simply be unable to find where you need to go. And the best advice is if you are ever in doubt, ask someone.
It’s great that they’re finding time to blog such useful tips, what with their ‘drag-queen and jack daniels infused’ evenings (!) - so make the most of it and follow their blog.
