So I needed to book our train tickets from Valencia to Madrid. Especially because Valencia's population swells by a million people during Falles so a lot of people will be trying to scurry out shortly after the festival.
So I was about to click purchase on raileurope.com . . .
When I, rather uncharacteristically, thought "Hey. Maybe I should look at a couple of different sites first." After another stop or two, I searched on the very similarly named raileurope-world.com and found the exact same tickets for a fraction of the cost . . .
The difference is just over $125.
Now I think my MUCH cheaper tickets are etched in stone but I am okay with that.
Also let me give a shout out to seat61.com which is the extremely useful website that led me to the second, cheaper tickets. I really can't overstate how useful this site is in gathering info about and navigating European rail systems.
