Vaso d’oro near the Museum of Catalan history, and Alt Heidelberg by the University metro stop.

I’m sitting in the station at Perpignan, waiting for my train to Barcelona. It’s just after four o’clock on a Friday afternoon in February.
My train is in just under an hour, and the surprising thing is that between now and then, there is only one other train going out.
It’s true what they say, that Ftench TGVs are great, but the frequency of service on the wider network leaves a lot to be desired.
Perpignan is the local regional capital, and not small. Think Truro or even Exeter, except with the whole of Spain lying beyond it rather than Cornwall.
I can’t imagine that Exeter gets by on two trains an hour on a Friday afternoon. God help anyone who wants to commute by rail into Perpignan.
