WJ spent a full day in Granada visiting the Alhambra
Palace in Granada and devouring as much local tapas
as possible in the area near the Granada train station.
So, by the 10 PM train departure time that evening we
were good and tired and looking forward to the
overnight train to Barcelona, which would arrive at 7 AM.
As we didn't want to waste an entire
day sitting on a train (when we'd rather
be out exploring), the overnight train
from Granada to Barcelona was the
perfect solution.
We made a reservation for a double
cabin that had lower and upper bunks
and a sink.
Fresh sheets and pillowcases were
found on the beds and a light blanket
was clean and relatively new. A few
coat hangers were available for use at
the foot of the bunks, but there was no
other storage.

The lower bunk was easy to access and where we both sat until we were
ready to call it a night and get into bed.
The upper bunk was a challenge to reach. We're not sure if we missed
finding a ladder, but it took some strength and maneuvering to get up and
down.

The upper bunk was a challenge to reach. We're not sure if we missed
finding a ladder, but it took some strength and maneuvering to get up and
down.
Each bunk had a cubbyhole for storing small items (watch, book, water
bottle) and a reading light.
We only travel with carry-on luggage and a small daypack, and finding
enough storage in the cabin was a challenge for that. If you travel with
larger luggage, you will find it difficult to move in the cabin.

Above the sink was a medicine cabinet containing the following: 2 bottles of water; 2 amenity
kits; two hand towels; 2 plastic cups.
The amenity kit had ear plugs, comb, tooth brush & paste, bar soap, hand wipe, sewing kit.
We would have enjoyed the trip much more except for two problems:
1. A conductor and other travellers were having a party in the hallway until very late - even after
we asked them to refrain.
2: The air-conditioning wasn't working and there aren't any windows in the cabin that open. So,
after a couple of hours, when the temperature was unbearably hot and we thought we would
suffocate, we opened the door to the hallway to get fresh air.
Bottom Line:
We endured a very disturbed night with little sleep due to the above mentioned issues. Will we
take another overnight train in Spain. Heck yes! We can't wait to try it again. Was the
RailEurope pass useful in booking this train trip? Yes! Even though we did have to pay extra for
the overnight cabin, it still saved us a lot of money.
