Strawberry Train 2006

I completely forgot to write about the Strawberry Train (Tren de a Fresa), which leaves Madrid's Atocha Station and travels to the beautiful Royal Palace of Aranjuez. Luckily, seeing some strawberries on Ben and Marina's site reminded me! The price includes:

• A 'historic' steam train which takes around 50 minutes to get to the town of Aranjuez
• Strawberries served on board by stewardesses dressed in period costume
• Bus to the Royal Palace
• Free entry to the Royal Palace  (with a tour guide - though probably in Spanish)
