Is the train ride from Barcelona to Madrid pretty?
Even though the high-speed trains that run between Madrid and Barcelona go as fast as 186 miles per hour, you can still see the Spanish countryside, including hills and agricultural lands, from your seat window. It's certainly not as scenic as some of Spain's coastal train routes, however.
