Known as the "Strawberry Train" because fresas (strawberries) are handed out by hostesses dressed in period costumes, this 50-minute trip from Atocha station to the town of Aranjuez is on an old steam train. This not only offers a relaxing and atmospheric way of travel, evoking an era of bygone days, but also gives you a full day out to visit Aranjuez palace and gardens and enjoy a lunch beside the Tagus River. It is particularly popular in spring.
