As tactic to attract publicity it was definitely successful: they were on RTVE and TV channels 3, 5, 6 and 7. Whether it actually helps in the longer term to draw in new inhabitants or tourists is a different question... but it's nothing if not inclusive:

Starting a new long distance travel by train, from the empty Spain through Europe. From Teruel to Berlin. Two days, three trains and a bus, with a night in a hotel.

I think that the train I take today afternoon will be the last one of the line Madrid - Marseille. If I am not wrong, from tomorrow there will be no direct train connecting the Spanish capital with any other country. The direct line from Madrid to Lisbon was also removed.

Though I created this account some time ago I haven't started to use it more actively till recent events.
As #introduction, I am from #Teruel, part of the #EmptySpain (#EspañaVaciada), but I live in #Berlin. I craft software for a living, being an enthusiast of #FOSS (the one that protects user freedom). I enjoy #BirdWatching and playing board and videogames, specially #Netrunner.
I am interested on #ClimateCrisis topics.
Whenever I can, I #travel by #train.
