The winner of this edition will be awarded a trip for two people on daytime trains to any destination on the peninsula, including an overnight stay in a double room with breakfast at the Parador de Alcalá de Henares.

The second-place winner will also receive a trip for two on the Cervantes Train, with an overnight stay in a double room and breakfast at the same Parador de Alcalá. The full terms and conditions of the contest are available on the Cercanías Madrid section of the Renfe website.
