I have no problem with that, being a notorious culprit myself, but I just thought to tip a wink to the OP ...

Many Spanish city dwellers have two cars, on for show and one for blow - literally!

Lets talk trains, much more fun.

Note to self, take the Barcelona to Corunna run before they scrap it! Still the longest single run in Europe?

Hmm, not the old Talgo nor the lovely Tren Hotel but a through train still - an Alvia that can change gauge from European standard, for HST sections, to Iberian standard gauge. Thirteen hours and 11 minutes shouldn't be too bad and cheap rate @ €38.85 that's got be a dine deal, especially if I get 25-40% discount with my retired persons discount card

I can even pick it up at Lleida, my local city, and save the trip down to Barcelona only to come back up again or better still pick in up at Tarragona where I also live
