Tangier > Málaga > Madrid

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008


Train

The another day we had to leave Morroco and Spain. We left Fes really early in the morning to Tangier. From Tangier, we took a ferry to Tarifa. From Tarifa we took a bus to Algeciras. From Algeciras we took a bus to Málaga. We left Fes at 6 AM, and arrived to Málaga at 9 PM. Quite a long journey.


The ferry from Tangier to Tarifa

In Málaga we took one day off just haging out. And the next day we took a bullet train to Madrid, and plane to Prague.

These Spaniards have indeed nice villages

After Madrid we continued in the bullet train to Málaga. We went 340km/h which is an unbelievable speed for somebody who is used to czech railways, a company who thinks that Italian shit Pendolino is a train from heaven. In the speed well over 300km/h the train even didn’t move. If we wouldn’t have windows, we wouldn’t think that we are on the way. Even the speed didn’t look that fast until you passed something that was really close. Like a station, there you could see what’s going on. Just great.

The speed was just unbelievable!

Some pictures are shot by Tomáš (http://mocicka.net/ – he should make some web site, I tell it all the time! [-; ), usually those who start with underscore. Have a look at his small gallery at flickr.

Spaniards are really crazy. They don’t even have more constructions than France, UK and Germany together, but they also gut everything inside the buildings, keep the walls, and rebuild it from new.

Port

Typical Spanish cities nowadays are surprisingly quite clean. However, mostly their houses are just rubbish. I’m not talking only about the quality, but also the facades are dirty, but you know what? It doesn’t matter in some situations. Like in the next picture.
