Just like the previous day, I returned to Sant Pol de Mar to photograph the Estrella Costa Brava.
To the surprise of those present, it was hauled by the 252-023, the last locomotive to wear the UN livery of Renfe’s Grandes Líneas, which was the icing on the cake.
Another photo worth including in this post is of the international service that, early in the morning, connected Barcelona - Sants station with Figueres Vilafant via conventional tracks, allowing passengers to transfer to the TGV Figueres - Paris. The reason for this service was that the high-speed line to Barcelona was not yet operational.
