Connecting two great cities: Geneva and Barcelona
The train journey from Geneva to Barcelona is one of the finest excursions in this volume. It is a good practical way of covering a lot of ground, but it also takes in a wonderful medley of landscapes. This journey could reasonably form the basis for a multi-day trip, stopping off here and there along the way. It relies entirely on local or regional trains.
