The journey was completed in a little over two hours

The AVE high speed train has completed its first journey from Antequera to Madrid. The train, which reached speeds of 300 km an hour, completed the journey in just 2 hours and 5 minutes.

It left Antequera’s Santa Ana station early on Wednesday, on a special charter by businesses in the tourism sector for a promotional event organised in the Spanish capital. Some 200 representatives from the sector in Madrid have been invited to attend, as well as the Mayor of city, Alberto Ruiz-Gallardón, and Development Minister, Magdalena Álvarez.

I am one of those people being left completely in the dark abut the development of the high speed rail link from Antequera to Malaga. Why does it matter to me? I don't have a business that will benefit from this development but I do have a property and a lifestyle that may well suffer, depending on the route that is chosen for the line. It would seem that one option is to have an elevated section going through my garden and naturally that does not fill me with deep joy, particularly as I would not be compensated realistically for my loss. That aside, does anyone out there know what is happening? All the enquiries I have made have come to nought and I am intrigued to know what the next steps of the project are and if my life is to be changed by them.
