Interiors of a Preferente-class "Superasiento Reclinable" (Sleeperette) A8lv-10500 car. These cars were rebuilt from B11x-10200 compartment cars in the early-90s, to run on the Diurno "Miguel de Unamuno" Barcelona-Hendaye/Salamanca (not to/from Bilbao). The conversion of the "Miguel de Unamuno" into a Talgo III service on 4th August 2001 has displaced them to the Estrella "Picasso" Bilbao/Gijon-Malaga since 27th January 2002. July 2003.
