I’m brand new to this forum. A few days ago, I asked for suggestions traveling from Portugal to Spain. I received some helpful feedback, but was asked to be more specific. So, I’m trying again! In Nov 2024, I will be in Elvas, Portugal and would like to get to Madrid, Spain without flying! I was told we could take a train. (Thank you to the person who suggested looking at Rome2Rio!) I’m interested in your experience with the train systems and if there are restrictions as to number of bags that are allowed. We’ll be exploring Spain for 15 days before doing a transatlantic. Suggestions for safe travel through that country would also be appreciated! Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!!

I am cruising to Portugal in October, then exploring Portugal and Spain for 18 days on land before taking transatlantic back to US. What is the best way to cross from Portugal to Spain that doesn’t include flying??
