I can't believe how good this is going to be for the region, it is another great selling point for the Costa del Sol and buying within the region - I saw on the Spanish news that they are also planning for other areas so hopefully it will also benefit the Costa Blanca and Murcia although it is not due to be completed until 2010 which will also be a direct to Madrid route.
They need to have a train service along the whole of the coast, that would be a great service to have, I will be using the Murcia or Alicante train to Madrid when it comes into service - the time and money saved will definitely be worth it. |
