As a travel correspondent based in Spain, I am in the perfect position to learn about new trends and openings, anniversaries and events. Through my contacts at Renfe, I learnt that the iconic Al Andalus train was about to turn 40, ahead of the British media. I knew this would be a perfect article for The Times with its focus on train travel and the romance of heritage journeys, as well as readers’ consistent interest in Spain as a destination. The resulting article was the first to be published in the UK media about the anniversary.
