============================================
ABOUT TRAINS: For a substantial discount, you can ONLY buy your tickets in person when you get to Spain.  You will need to get a "Tarjeta Dorada" - Gold Card for over 60 years old - 25% to 40% discount, depending on the day. On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, there is a 40% discount. On other days the discount is 25%. This can be bought at Atocha station in Madrid ticket office for 5 euros. People who are not Spanish citizens or residents need to bring passports with them to buy the Tarjeta Dorada. We suggest buying this Tarjeta Dorada (Gold Card) at any point during your stay in Madrid, but before purchasing any train tickets. You can purchase the Tarjeta Dorada AND all the train reservations at one time. (You must purchase the Tarjeta Dorada in person, and cannot purchase it on-line from the US.) See the complete listing of trains (specific scheduled trains) that you'll need to purchase on the "Itinerary" on this blog (click here).
