They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but what that looks like depends on where you wake up! In Paris, it's a buttery croissant with a café au lait 🥐. In Japan, a traditional morning meal features miso soup, rice, and grilled fish 🍚. Meanwhile, in Mexico, spicy chilaquiles add a flavorful kick to the morning 🌶.

Where would you love to start your day? ☀️

Since Spain has the largest high-speed rail network in Europe, I recommend A+R to my clients since they’ve embraced this sustainable style of travel in first class with reserved seats. You can relax, enjoy the sights, stretch your legs, or even enjoy the dining car while you travel from city center to city center. Rail travel is both nostalgic and very modern. It’s well worth a try.
