Somewhere I never thought I'd visit is Alicante but one specific working drew me to the Spanish coastal city. Many Brits head to this area, especially Benidorm and we even have a TV show about it which is quite entertaining. However I never felt like participating in such holiday.
With a last minute change of plans to go to Barcelona via a day around Alicante the prime target for this was the Renfe 334 hauled diagram which heads south from the city in the evening. 334 004 was seen on a lovely summers day with IC1463 València Estació del Nord - Cartagena. Seeing these Talgo coaches and really any locomotive hauled trains nowadays in Spain seems to be slim pickings so it was a nice start to our Iberian trip.
