November 8, 2009 Next Stop Alto Alentejo, Unsung but Not for Long By ROBERT GOFF IN 2002, Doug Smith was bored. Korakia Pensione, his Mediterranean-style boutique hotel in Palm Springs, Calif., that attracted a celebrity crowd like Annie Leibovitz, Gore Vidal and Brice Marden, pretty much ran itself. Mr. Smith was looking for a new project — a grand fixer-upper in an exotic locale — where he could show off his well-honed style and settle into a life of rustic ease with his new wife, Josie.... more »

Joe,
1. The AVE doesn't travel from Madrid to Segovia, only a regional train. You
