Having access to high-speed rail lines makes Spain budget travel easier, since train travel is one of the most efficient and affordable ways to travel across much of Europe. A recent deal between different rail lines in different countries promises to make it more efficient and affordable still. Although Spain is not yet one of the countries involved in the deal, it's only a matter of time before it will be added to the attributes that make Spain budget travel one of the best bargains in Europe. According to a recent article posted on the Business Week website, "Last July seven operators banded together to form Railteam, an alliance that is working to create a seamless, high-speed network across a large swath of Western Europe. Functioning much like an airline alliance, Railteam is setting up a common reservation system that's set to begin operations in 2009."
