Snow on the Meseta en route to Madrid - by train
The Meseta plateau at the heart of Spain is scorching in summer, but can get very cold in winter.
As we climbed up towards the highest points on the route, the fields and villages were covered with snow.
We may have been going south, but the altitude meant it was far colder here than on the north coast.
Madrid is in fact the highest capital city in Europe - at 660m, it is 2/3 the height of Snowdon.
