I've spent five years making Spain's rail network my second home — clocking 20,000 kilometres across Renfe, iryo and OUIGO and picking up every trick in the book along the way. From high-speed AVE routes to budget hacks on the challenger operators, I know exactly how to get from A to B without paying over the odds.

My approach is simple: book smart, travel light and always have something good to read. Over five years I've turned that philosophy into practical, no-nonsense guides for travellers who want to see Spain by train without burning through their budget. When I'm not writing, I'm on a train somewhere — research, I call it.
