Is the train from Seville to Madrid Scenic?

The train ride from Madrid to Seville does have scenery, but this swatch of Spain is no Ordesa Valley. You'll certainly have lovely landscape views whizzing by your window and it's a much better view than what you'd get at 31,000-feet in the sky. Basically, this train journey was built for speed, not sightseeing.
