Friday 27th January 2023 Fifth day of the PTG "Costa del Alco" 5-day railtour: Córdoba - Espeluy - Jaén - Espeluy - Manzanares - Aranjuez - Madrid Atocha Cercanías - Madrid Chamartín. Today would be "new track" for me between Espeluy and Jaén (we were supposed to cover the east curve avoiding Espuluy but this was removed, apparently for operational reasons).
