The train occasionally emerges from the tunnel along the way and there are quick glimpses of the Mediterranean sea.
Trains are usually ½ hourly, but some services skip certain towns, so it pays to check the timetable. For little over 4 Euros, it is possible to spend 12 hours hopping between the towns, which are only 3 – 4 minutes apart. It is possible to see all the towns in one day – briefly. In truth, each town deserves a day to itself.
