Journey Features
Good to Know
The first departure of the day isn't scheduled to leave Barcelona until 12:00 and is due to arrive in Murcia at around 19:00
It isn't possible to arrive in Murcia sooner by taking earlier trains from Barcelona and making connections.
As these trains begin to leave Barcelona behind they spend around 30 mins travelling along the coast, so there are sea views from the left hand side of the train.
Though we departed in the early morning, so hazy sunshine meant the images we captured aren't our finest pieces of work - but they give an idea of what to expect.
The train will reverse direction on departure from Valencia and Alicante.
