Welcome to "Phil's Loco Photos"

I flew from Sofia - Madrid to assist in running a large group charter for a group of New Zealand tourists. I joined the northbound Alvia from Alicante - Gijón at Madrid Atocha Cercanías which meant I got in the new gauge changing machines just north of Chamartín and Valladolid. I got off at Oviedo to join the week long cultural tour using the FEVE narrow gauge which had 1912 on the front. We went from Oviedo - Arriondas where we went to the top of some mountains in a local National Park and then we continued to down the rarely used branch to Ribadesella Puerto. Next day we continued via Cabezon de la Sal and Torrelavaga to Santander. Next couple of days took us to Bilbao and then to León. After a free day it was then to Madrid and back home
