Pedro Morata

Over the past five years, Pedro Morata has made Spain's rail network his playground — racking up 20,000 kilometres and 240 tickets across Renfe, iryo and OUIGO. He knows which operator to pick for each route, when to book to snag the best price, and how to turn any train journey into a great one.

He brings that hands-on knowledge to Trip.com through guides that are practical, honest and straight to the point — built for travellers who want to explore Spain by rail without the hassle. When he's not writing, chances are he's on a train somewhere, deep in a good book. Which, he'll tell you, is the whole point.
