Once upon a time, Spain had one of the most backward train networks in western Europe.  Now, they have one of the best, indeed, one of my favourite rail systems.  High-speed AVE trains (Alta Velocidad Española) link major cities at up to 300 km/h (186mph), and if you book in advance online you can find some great cheap fares.  This page will give you a heads-up on how to travel cheaply around Spain by train.

A guide to taking the train in Spain

International trains to & from Spain

Other train travel information, useful country information, spain by train, the key things to know.

Avlo is a lo-cost subsidiary of Renfe which runs Barcelona-Madrid, other routes planned.  Their trains are one class only, with no-catering.

Ouigo Spain is a lo-cost subsidiary of SNCF (French Railways) which runs Barcelona-Madrid, Madrid-Valencia & Madrid-Alicante, other routes planned.  Two class, with basic catering.

Elige (Choice) = A semi-flexible fare, you can choose between Elige (2nd class seat) or for a higher price, Elige Confort (1st class seat).

Now for the catch, and it's some catch that Catch 22:  You can only buy a Tarjeta Dorada in person at a Renfe station when you get to Spain.  You cannot buy it online.  But you can't buy tickets online in advance with the Tarjeta Dorada discount until after you've bought the card because you need to enter the card number to get the discount.  So if you're planning a trip to Spain, it's better to forget about being senior and just buy a normal adult advance-purchase ticket now for perhaps €30 without any Tarjeta Dorada discount, than to wait until you get to Spain to buy a Tarjeta Dorada to get 25% off a fare which by that time (on or close to departure date) might have risen to €90.  Just let that sink in...

How to buy tickets & check train times

You can buy tickets at any Renfe station or online at www.renfe.com , but see the advice on using Renfe.com below .  There's no booking fee, but Renfe.com is a pain to use with some confusing translations and quirks, it's also known for sometimes rejecting overseas payment cards.  It's far easier (and quicker!) to buy tickets in plain English using www.thetrainline.com (in €, £ or $, small booking fee, works for anyone from any country) or www.raileurope.com ( various currencies, small booking fee), Omio.com (various currencies, small booking fee) or www.petrabax.com (in US$, with a small mark-up).  These websites all connect to Renfe's ticketing system and sell the same trains at the same prices with no payment problems and the same official Renfe print-at-home tickets.

Real time information

You can see whether a train is on time and which platform it will leave from, if you download thetrainline.com 's app and run an enquiry for today. Trainline's app show real time information for all operators, Renfe, Avlo, Iryo & Ouigo.

Combinado Cercanias : Free suburban travel with a long-distance ticket

When you buy a ticket for one of Renfe's long-distance trains (AVE, EuroMed, Alvia, Intercity) of any fare type in any class for a journey within Spain, you get free travel from any Renfe suburban station at the start of your journey and free travel to any Renfe suburban station at the end of your journey, in the following cities:

Asturias, Barcelona, Bilbao, Cadiz, Madrid, Malaga, Murcia/Alicante, San Sebastian, Santander, Seville, Valencia and Zaragoza.  You also get free travel from/to any FEVE local station in Asturias, Santander, Bilbao & Cartagena.

If your ticket includes this, it will say Combinado Cercanias in the corner with a reference number.

At your starting city, you must use the suburban ticket within 3 hours of your long-distance train departure, and at your destination you must use the suburban ticket within 4 hours of your long-distance train's arrival.

You can travel to or from any suburban station within that city's numbered zones, but not outside the zones (so longer routes such as Barcelona to Portbou or Latour de Carol are not included).

Different cities have slightly different processes:  To access the suburban ( cercanias ) platforms in Madrid or Malaga, place the QR code of your long-distance ticket against the scanner on the automatic ticket gates and they should open.  In Barcelona, you must show your long-distance ticket at the information desk and ask for a ticket to open the cercanias ticket gates.

Add a snack box to your booking in Elige Confort on AVE & EuroMed .  You can add a snack box to your booking if you buy an Elige fare for Confort class on an AVE or EuroMed train at Renfe.com.  You can add it when you book or afterwards, at least 12h before the train leaves its origin station.

Railpasses for Spain

Option 1, eurail & interrail passes.

Unfortunately, Interrail & Eurail passes do not offer hop on, hop off convenience in Spain because all Spanish long-distance train and even some regional trains require a reservation, for Interrail & Eurail passholders this costs around €10 for AVEs and similar front-rank trains or €7 for lesser trains.  This must be factored into your budget.

The next issue is that Interrail & Eurail reservations for Spanish trains often can't be made online.  Passholder reservations for most front-rank high-speed AVE trains can now be made online using the Interrail/Eurail reservations service and some Alvia and Intercity trains can also be booked this way.  However, others can't be booked online at all and most Media Distancia trains can't be booked online either, you have to go to a station when you reach Spain.  More about how to make Interrail/Eurail passholder reservations in Spain .

Option 2, Renfe's Spain Pass

Renfe offer its own Spain Pass to anyone resident outside Spain.  This can be better value as it includes all reservations, no hidden costs.  However, unlike Interrail & Eurail passes it does not give unlimited travel.  One journey = 1 train ride, if you change trains, that's 2 journeys.

You can buy a Renfe Spain Pass giving either 4, 6, 8 or 10 individual one-way train journeys of any length in a one-month period on all of Renfe's long-distance & medium-distance trains, including AVE, EuroMed, Alvia, Intercity, Media Distancia & Avant. 

With the Renfe Spain Pass, reservations can be made for free and there are no extra fees or quotas - if there is an empty seat on the train, you're entitled to it with your Spain Pass, although be warned that Spanish high-speed trains can indeed get fully-booked close to departure date.

How to buy a Renfe Spain pass

You can buy a Spain pass online at www.renfe.com/es/en.../renfe-spain-pass (has a few quirky translations and sometimes struggles with some credit cards).  The passes are completely electronic.  After setting up an account and buying your own pass, you can buy passes for your travelling companions as separate transactions.  They will also appear as passes in your account.

You have up to 6 months to make your first trip after you buy the pass, then one month to use the remaining trips after that first trip.

You can make reservations to go with a Spain pass either at stations as you go or at www.renfe.com , but the online method isn't obvious.  Here's how to make Renfe Pass seat reservations using www.renfe.com ( feedback appreciated ):

1. After buying your Renfe pass, go to www.renfe.com and switch it to English by clicking the globe logo at top right and select Ingles .

2. Log into your account and select the tab called My passes. You should see each Renfe pass you have bought for you and your companions. 

3. At the top of that page is a from and to field, like the journey planner used to book tickets on their home page.  Use this to make reservations, the price will be shown as €0.

You can only make reservations for one person/pass at a time.  But if you click Choose seats you can select your seat from a seat map and can use this feature to select seats next to each other.

Important:  When you make your first reservation, Renfe assumes that this is the first train you want to take with your pass and automatically starts the one-month pass validity from that date.  This now prevents you from making reservations on an earlier date.  So make sure that the first reservation you make is for the day you intend to start using the pass!

Spanish train fares & classes explained

In July 2021, Renfe introduced a completely new fares structure for all its long-distance trains including the high-speed AVE, and also changed the terms it uses for 1st & 2nd class.  It's easy to get confused between what's a class of accommodation and what's a fare type, so here's a run-down of Renfe's new classes & fares.

Standard & Comfort class

Básico, elige & premium fares.

Elige (Choice).  A semi-flexible fare.  If you select this you get a choice of Elige to travel in Standard (2nd) class or Elige Confort at a higher price to travel in Comfort (1st) class but without any included food or access to lounges.  Elige & Elige Confort tickets are refundable & changeable for a fee.

What are Spanish trains like?

AVE or Alta Velocidad Española is Spain's front-rank high-speed train.  Reservation is compulsory, and all trains have a cafe-bar.  AVEs are now being fitted with free WiFi.  If you pay the Premium fare, an airline-style hot tray meal with wine is included although on some departures you get a snack box instead, see the food & drink section above .  AVE trains come in various types.

S100 :  The original French-designed AVE used between Madrid & Seville and also now used into France, see the photos below.

S102 & S112 :  The Spanish Talgo-designed AVE used between Madrid & Malaga, Barcelona & Malaga/Seville, a classy train indeed, see S102/S112 photos here .

S103 :  The German-designed AVE used between Barcelona & Madrid plus some Madrid-Malaga trains, see S103 photos here .

Alvia & EuroMed trains

These S130 trains operate the EuroMed services linking Barcelona with Valencia & Alicante, as well as Alvia trains from Madrid to Cadiz & Huelva.  They consist of little articulated coaches built by the Talgo company sandwiched between two duck-billed power cars.  There are other Alvia services operates by similar trains with a diesel power-car added, and a few Alvia trains (including Barcelona to Bilbao, Pamplona & San Sebastian) operated by the wedge-nosed S120 type, of similar high quality.  All Alvia trains have a cafe-bar.  On EuroMed services a hot meal with wine is usually available in Comfort class on weekdays & Sundays if you buy a Premium ticket or add the meal to an Elige ticket, see the information above .

Intercity trains

These run on many long distance routes, including Madrid-Ronda-Algeciras, Madrid-Granada, Madrid-San Sebastian.  Most (including Madrid-Algeciras) are former Altaria trains, little articulated trains built by the Talgo company and hauled by a separate locomotive, they have adjustable axles so they can run at up to 200 km/h on the high-speed AVE lines (which are standard European gauge) then go though a gauge-changing shed to emerge on traditional Spanish broad gauge to complete their journey on the classic Iberian gauge network.  A few Intercity trains have been created by rebranding former Alvia trains built by CAF, for example on the Madrid-San Sebastian route, which also have gauge-changing wheels.  All Intercity trains have a cafe-bar.

Avlo, Iryo, Ouigo...

Spain's high-speed lines have been opened up to competition.  Renfe now has a lo-cost brand called Avlo , and competitor operators Iryo & Ouigo now operate on key routes including Barcelona-Madrid , Madrid-Valencia, Madrid-Cordoba/Seville/Malaga.  See the Barcelona-Madrid page for a run down of these 3 operators .

How to buy train tickets for Spain

When does booking open?   Anything between 15 days and 11 months, Renfe is a law unto itself when it comes to booking horizons, see the introduction .

What can these sites sell?   They can sell Renfe's mainline trains and sometimes competing high-speed trains run by Avlo, Iryo or Ouigo.  They can't sell tickets for Renfe's suburban (cercanias) routes including Latour de Carol-Barcelona or Cerbère-Portbou-Barcelona, nor can they sell tickets for Euskotren (Hendaye-San Sebastian-Bilbao) or the former FEVE routes (Bilbao-Santander-Gijon-Ferrol).

Option 1, buy at Raileurope.com

The quickest & easiest way to buy Spanish train tickets is at Raileurope.com with cheap advance-purchase fares & print-at-home or collect-at-station tickets.  You can choose to pay in €, £ or $. There's a small booking fee.

Raileurope.com links directly to Renfe's (Spanish Railways) ticketing system and charges the same price as Renfe themselves with the same print-your-own ticket delivery.  Unlike Renfe's own site it's in plain English without any of Renfe.com's quirky translations and no credit card rejection problems.

Raileurope.com can book the lo-cost Barcelona-Madrid Ouigo Spain trains as well as the normal Renfe trains, but cannot book lo-cost Avlo trains

Anyone from any country can use Raileurope.com as international credit cards are welcomed.  It can also sell international trains between Spain and Portugal or France, as it links to the French, German, Italian & British ticketing systems.  Who are Raileurope.com?

Important:   If you have a baby or infant, remember to add them as a child and enter their age, they'll still go free but will get the free infant ticket which is now necessary in Spain.

Option 2, buy at Thetrainline.com or Omio.com

www.omio.com & www.thetrainline.com also connect to Renfe's ticketing system to sell Renfe tickets at exactly the same prices as Renfe with the same print-your-own or collect-at-station tickets, very easily, all overseas credit cards accepted.  Both charge a small booking fee.  They can also book Ouigo Spain trains & Avlo trains .  Who are Thetrainline.com?

Option 3, buy at Petrabax.com , easy to use, in US$

If you'd rather pay in USD, use www.petrabax.com .  This is a US-based agency which also links directly to the Renfe ticketing system to sell the same trains as Renfe.com with the same print-at-home tickets.  They add a small mark-up, but it's easy to use in plain English and it avoids the English translation and credit card acceptance problems people can experience with Renfe.com.  Anyone from any country can use Petrabax, including the United States, Canada, Australia, India & Singapore.

Option 4, buy at Renfe.com

How to use www.renfe.com, before you start, step 1, use the journey planner, step 2, select a train, step 3, select fare & class.

Basico and Elige fares both get you a Estandar (2nd) class seat.

Elige Confort and Premium fares both get you a Confort (1st) class seat.

Basico is non-changeable, non-refundable.  Elige fares are semi-flexible, semi-refundable.  The Premium fare is fully changeable, fully refundable and includes Sala Club lounge access and a meal served at your seat.  You'll only see a Premium fare on AVE & EuroMed trains.

Step 4, passenger details

Step 5, customise trip, step 6, pay & print tickets.

Print your tickets or download the Renfe app

After you've paid, a confirmation screen appears, with a link to download tickets and save them to your PC.  Or you can download the Renfe app onto your phone, sign into your account and your tickets will appear.  You can now board the train.

Hotels in Spain

Backpacker hostels.

www.hostelworld.com :  If you're on a tight budget, don't forget about backpacker hostels.  Hostelworld offers online booking of cheap private rooms or dorm beds in backpacker hostels in Paris and most other European cities at rock-bottom prices.

Environmentally aware, actively ethical adventures in Spain:  www.wildsideholidays.com

For environmentally-aware guesthouses offering walking, hiking, riding or nature-watching in the Spanish countryside and national parks, try www.wildsideholidays.com , a new site listing independent, environmentally-aware properties across Spain.  It was started by British ex-pats Clive Muir and Sue Eatock, when they found nowhere to advertise their own wonderful property deep in the heart of the Sierra de Grazelema near Ronda in Southern Spain.

Custom-made tours of Spain

Railbookers, railbookers.co.uk.

If you want to tour Spain by train, with all your train reservations and hotels sorted for you to your own specification, contact train tour specialists Railbookers and they'll create the best rail holiday for you, hassle-free.  They take good care of their clients and get a lot of repeat business.  In particular, check out their Ultimate Barcelona, Madrid & Seville tour on their US & Canada site, or a top seller on their UK site, Madrid & Andalusia.  They have offices in the UK, USA & Australia.

Tailor Made Rail, tailormaderail.com

Tailor Made Rail can arrange tours of Spain by train based on your own requirements, they welcome complex itineraries.  As it's a package, they'll take care of you if anything happens on one part of the trip, for example, a national strike.  They're TTA-protected - like ATOL, but not only for agencies that sell air travel.

Car hire comparison:  www.carrentals.co.uk

The award-winning website www.carrentals.co.uk compares many different car hire companies including Holiday Autos, meaning not only a cheapest price comparison but a wider choice of hire and drop off location.

Travel insurance & other tips

Always take out travel insurance.

You should take out travel insurance with at least £1m or preferably £5m medical cover from a reliable insurer.  It should cover trip cancellation and loss of cash & belongings up to a reasonable limit.  These days, check you're covered for covid-19-related issues, and use an insurer whose cover isn't invalidated by well-meant but excessive Foreign Office travel advice against non-essential travel. An annual policy is usually cheapest even for just 2 or 3 trips a year, I have an annual policy with Staysure.co.uk myself.  Don't expect travel insurance to bail you out of every missed connection, see the advice on missed connections here .  Here are some suggested insurers, I get a little commission if you buy through these links, feedback always welcome.

Get an eSIM with mobile data package

Don't rely on WiFi, download an eSIM with a European mobile data package and stay connected.  Most newer mobile phones can download a virtual SIM including iPhone 11 & later, see device compatibility list .  There's no need to buy a physical SIM card!  Maya.net is a reliable eSIM data retailer with a 4.5 out of 5 Trustpilot rating and a range of packages including unlimited data .

Get a Curve card for foreign travel

Most banks give you a poor exchange rate then add a foreign transaction fee on top.  A Curve MasterCard means no foreign transaction fees and gives you the mid-market exchange rate, at least up to a certain limit, £500 per month as I write this.  The money you spend on your Curve card goes straight onto one of your existing debit or credit cards.  And you can get a Curve card for free.

How it works:   1. Download the Curve app for iPhone or Android .  2. Enter your details & they'll send you a Curve MasterCard - they send to the UK and most European addresses.  3. Link your existing credit & debit cards to the app, you can link up to two cards with the free version of Curve, I link my normal debit card and my normal credit card.  4. Now use the Curve MasterCard to buy things online or in person or take cash from ATMs, exactly like a normal MasterCard. Curve does the currency conversion and puts the balance in your own currency onto whichever debit or credit card is currently selected in the Curve app.  You can even change your mind about which card it goes onto, within 14 days of the transaction.

I have a Curve Blue card myself, it means I can buy a coffee on a foreign station on a card without being stung by fees and lousy exchange rates, just by tapping the Curve card on their card reader.  The money goes through Curve to my normal debit card and is taken directly from my account (in fact I have the Curve card set up as payment card on Apple Pay on my iPhone, so can double-click my phone, let it do Face ID then tap the reader with the phone - even easier than getting a card out).  I get a little commission if you sign up to Curve, but I recommend it here because I think it's great.  See details, download the app and get a Curve card , they'll give you £5 cashback through that link.

Get a VPN for safe browsing.  Why you need a VPN

When travelling you may use free public WiFi which is often insecure.  A VPN encrypts your connection so it's always secure, even on unsecured WiFi.  It also means you can select the geographic location of the IP address you browse with, to get around geoblocking which a surprising number of websites apply.  See VPNs & why you need one explained .  ExpressVPN is a best buy with a 4.7 out of 5 Trustpilot ranking which I use myself - I've signed up as an ExpressVPN affiliate, and if you go with expressvpn.com using this link you should see a special deal, 3 months free with an annual subscription.  I also get some commission to help support this site.

Carry an Anker powerbank

Tickets, reservations, hotel bookings and Interrail or Eurail passes are often now held on your mobile phone.  You daren't let it run out of power, and you can't always rely on the phone's internal battery or on being near a power outlet.  I always carry an Anker powerbank which can recharge my phone several times over.  Buy from Amazon.co.uk or Buy from Amazon.com .

Touring cities?  Use hill walking shoes!

One of the best things I've done is swap my normal shoes for hill-walking shoes, in my case from Scarpa.  They're intended for hiking across the Pennines not wandering around Florence, but the support and cushioning for hiking works equally well when you're on your feet all day exploring foreign cities.  My feet used to give out first and limit my day, now the rest of me gives up before they do!

What To Expect on Spain’s Renfe AVE Trains—Tips from My Travels

I’ve enjoyed AVE and love high speed trains generally in Europe. They offer an excellent, comfortable, low-carbon alternative to flying. For example, the Barcelona-Madrid trip on AVE is just 2.5 hours, which makes it much faster than flying when you figure in the time for getting to the airport and waiting in lines. Plus, it’s fun to ride when you’re near a highway to see just how much faster you’re going than the cars you speed past.

There are some differences to be aware of however between AVE and flying or taking conventional-speed trains. And there are now some important competitors to Renfe’s AVE service to be aware of, particularly if you want to save some money and are travelling light with bare necessities (as we minimalists always encourage)—if you don’t have a large suitcase the budget high-speed trains discussed below may be a better choice.

This article was first published on July 4, 2019. It went through minor updates during the pandemic. We did a major update on April 4, 2023 reflecting new information and competing options.

What is Renfe’s AVE?

Spain’s national rail operator Renfe offers its premium high-speed train service, AVE, on routes between a few French cities, Barcelona, and Madrid and other major destinations throughout Spain. AVE trains reach speeds of 310 km/hr (193 mph), while still offering a very smooth ride.

AVE stands for Alta Velocidad Española (Spanish High Speed) and the acronym also means “bird” in Spanish.

Renfe also offers a high-speed Avant service, which is similar to AVE but runs slightly slower at 250 km/h (155 mph) and takes you on trips between in or between regions (“medium distance”).

At conventional speeds, Renfe offers local (“ cercanias “), medium, and long-distance services.

How to Book Renfe AVE Tickets

Tickets can be booked directly with Renfe , but as we’ve reported before that official Renfe website doesn’t work very well for Spanish train ticket booking . There are a lot of errors and bad translations, though with patience you can certainly get it to work.

The website Trainline offers the same prices as the official Renfe site for AVE fast trains at any given time while avoiding such problems. It has full coverage of all AVE trains. If you’re taking a complex trips with several stops to change trains, it generally comes up with better routes than Renfe.

Perhaps even more importantly, Trainline allows you to compare AVE trains alongside the competing high-speed train companies that now run in Spain , each of which we have reviewed: the French budget train operator Ouigo , Renfe’s own budget Avlo , and the private Iryo . All of these options are fast and comfortable (though Ouigo and Avlo have much more limited baggage restrictions unless you pay a supplement). We tend to just go with the cheapest one on the day and route we’re seeking, which Trainline allows us to find in a single search.

RailEurope is another way to book AVE tickets, but RailEurope generally lost out to Trainline in our comparison and doesn’t show the competing Spanish high-speed options.

Routes on Renfe AVE Trains

Here is the current route map from Renfe (click to enlarge) for its AVE service as of April 2023; the hot pink represents high speed AVE lines and the grey represents conventional long-distance trains. Renfe’s claim of the Lisbon-Salamanca connection is perhaps aspirational, as no such option currently exists.

The AVE network branches out from Madrid to cover most major cities, and connects to France through Barcelona/Figueres, where it can get you to Marseille, Paris, Lyon, and Toulouse.

Note that you can also get to plenty of other cities in Spain, Catalonia and France that are not served by AVE by combining these high-speed routes with medium-distance, high-speed Avant trains, with standard-speed trains, and with buses. The options are endlessly complex, and Trainline (mentioned previously) does a pretty good job of finding you the best ones. Trainline is also the only way to buy combination trips between various operators, like Renfe+Iryo+SNCF, which is especially useful for crossing borders or going to out-of-the-way places.

What Renfe AVE High Speed Trains Are Like

Aside from getting you quickly around some of the greatest cultural spots and most beautiful sites in this corner of Europe, Renfe AVE trains are a treat to ride in and of themselves.

Noise level: In spite of the high speed, AVE trains are quiet when you’re inside them; the Spanish countryside whizzes past at a low hum. The experience is much quieter than being inside a car, plane, or standard train. That said, Spaniards are not exactly the quietest bunch; conversations are sometimes held at nearly shouting levels. First class tends to be a bit quieter; there you can expect more people on business trips who are quietly pecking away at laptops.

Toilets: The toilets are chemical toilets and there are sinks for handwashing (no drinking water), soap, and a weak hand-dryer that doesn’t do much good. There is an outlet for an electric razor that offers both 110- and 220- volt options.

Luggage: While generally not measured nor weighed, you are in theory limited on AVE trains to three pieces of luggage which shouldn’t exceed 25 kg. / 55 lbs. and 290 cm. / 114 in. in total. Each piece shouldn’t measure more than 85 x 55 x 35 cm. / 33 x 22 x 14 in. That said, as long as you can handle your luggage yourself and not cause problems for others, you’re unlikely to raise an eyebrow.

You may take small hand baggage, strollers (folded) or baby seats, musical instruments in their cases measuring a maximum of 30 x 120 x 38 cm / 12 x 47 x 15 in., and bicycles and scooters that are folded and carried in their cases and not longer than 180 cm / 71 in.

Note that the luggage limits for Renfe’s Avlo service and for the competing Ouigo service are much more restrictive than AVE. If you’re travelling heavy in Spain (not recommended!) go with AVE or Iryo.

On AVE cars there are luggage racks at the ends of each car for large luggage pieces, and smaller hand luggage and backpacker packs like those we recommend easily fit in the overhead racks above the seating. Personally I like to use a small rolling backpack that I put up top and a daypack that stays with me and fits under the seat in front of me.

Wi-Fi: Most Renfe AVE tickets have Wi-Fi; see our article with complete information on the Wi-Fi on AVE trains .

In-seat power outlets: There is a European power outlet under the armrest; you should prepare with an all-purpose, any-country plug adapter if your device comes from elsewhere.

First Class vs. Second Class on AVE Trains

On AVE, second class is perfectly comfortable with seats four-to-a-row across the train car, and first class is a bit more luxurious, with seating three to a row (two seats together, one separate, aisle in the middle). You’re a bit more likely to encounter loud families and groups of people travelling together and chatting in second class, whereas first class tends to be more business people travelling solo and thus the noise level may be less.

The first class seating looks much nicer, the seats use a (presumably faux-) leather material. I personally think the orange/brown of the second-class seating is a pretty ugly color choice, but one spends one’s time looking out the window anyway.

Second class has a lower carbon footprint since more passengers fit into a standard second-class car.

Food and Drink Options at the AVE Bar Car

The train bar can be a pleasant place to stop for a drink or a coffee, and there are some basic food options to wipe out hunger — but nothing like a true dining car experience with seating and waiters. There is no seating but some nice places to stand, watch the landscapes race past, and chat with fellow travellers.

The menu below gives an idea of the options but will vary according to the train and time period; not all options are always available.

That’s the basics of the AVE experience! I love and recommend these trains and take them all the time. If you have questions, advice, or feel I’ve overlooked something here, drop a note in the comments and I’ll do my best to update this.

I’m booked on a Renfe Ava train from Barcelona to Madrid in my upcoming trip in May 2024! Thank you for this very useful article. It’ll be my first solo trip and I appreciate all the resources available on the net! After all more is less as far as research goes!

thank you for the great article. i travel with a large suitcase and one thing i am concerned about whether there will be space to store it on the train. i have read contradictory information regarding this as well as how early i will have to arrive at the station in order to be sure i won’t miss the train. i looked at a Barcelona/Madrid schedule on the Renfe site and one train displayed 3 letters (which of course i don’t remember now) after AVE and i can’t find anywhere what that indicates, possibly a non-stop (“direct”) trip. i heard that the prices keep going up the longer i put off buying the tickets so i was thinking of trying to reserve all our trips before we get to Spain. of course it is impossible to contact Renfe directly and their FAQs don’t address these topics.

The Keys to Riding AVE

• The trains are reasonably  safe ,  quiet , and  comfortable —and quite  fast .
• Realize that there are now  competitors in Spain to Renfe AVE that are just as good and fast, and usually cheaper: Iryo, Avlo, and Ouigo. You can compare all train operators for a given trip on Trainline .

What does Renfe Spain Pass offer?

The Renfe Spain Pass is an electronic pass that entitles you to travel on Spanish trains, for a specific number of days.

This particular pass is only valid for non-residents in Spain. In addition to this, it’s strictly personal, non-transferable.

Therefore, you need to carry your passport with you any time you want to use it. Please note that a driver’s license is not a valid travel document.

You may be fined if you don’t show the proper documents (your passport, your Renfe Spain Pass and your ticket) when required.

So what does Renfe Spain Pass offer?

• Your Renfe Spain Pass allows 4, 6, 8 or 10 one-way journeys on either Standard (economy) or Comfort (business) class of any length in a one-month period .
• One journey equals 1 train ride, so if you change trains, that’s 2 journeys.
• You can use your Renfe Spain Pass on all  the long distance (Larga Distancia) trains (including AVE and Alvia high-speed trains) and regional trains (Media Distancia) and Avant (mid-distance high-speed) with seat reservation.
• You can also use the Combinado Cercanías up to 3 hours before and after your trip. So you don’t need to purchase an extra Cercanías train ticket !
• The Renfe Spain Pass is active for 6 months as from the date of issue, and is valid for one month after your first trip.

How does the Renfe Spain Pass work?

To be able to travel, you must previously validate your trip . That is, purchase the ticket for the corresponding route. This purchase is free of charges.

You can do so online either on Renfe’s website or with the Renfe app, by accessing your personal area in “My passes” and indicating the date and train on which you wish to travel.

You can also purchase a ticket at the ticket offices, travel agencies or by phone, providing your Renfe Spain Pass number.

If you board a train without a previously issued validated trip, you are considered to be traveling without a train ticket and will be charged the established ticket price.

You can easily purchase your Renfe Spain Pass online.

Can you cancel your Renfe Spain Pass?

Here’s some additional information about the Renfe Spain Pass cancellation:

• The pass can be cancelled within 24 hours of purchase with no additional charge. You are entitled to a full refund.
• After 24 hours, and prior to using it for the first time, a 15% cancellation charge applies.
• After your first trip with the pass, you won’t get any refund whatsoever.
• If you have a Comfort class pass and you travel on Stardard class by mistake, you won’t receive any compensation. Pay attention when your book your seat!

Can you cancel your train tickets?

Here are all the details regarding ticket cancellations:

• Train journey tickets can be cancelled free of charge upon request at Renfe’s website, using the Renfe app, at train stations and at authorized travel agencies.
• A ticket can be cancelled up to 2 minutes before the train departs from the origin station.
• Once a ticket is cancelled, the number of remaining journeys will be updated, restoring the non-used trip on the pass.

Renfe Spain Pass vs Eurail Pass or Interrail Pass?

First, let’s start with the difference between the Eurail Pass and the Interrail Pass .

Eurail Pass

• A Eurail Pass can only be used by non-European citizens or non-European residents .
•  You can hop on and off most trains as you please with your Eurail Pass , but most high-speed and night trains ask you to buy an additional seat reservation before you can jump aboard.
• 1st class Passes are valid in both 1st and 2nd class coaches. 2nd class Passes are only valid in 2nd class coaches.
• You need to activate your Eurail Pass within 11 months of the issue date. You can do this online using our free activation service at checkout, or once you’ve received your Pass at a European train station.
• All standard Eurail Passes are refundable or exchangeable if they are returned unused.

Interrail Pass

• European citizens can use an Interrail Pass instead. If you are not a European citizen, but you are an official resident of Europe , you can also choose to use an Interrail Pass.
• You cannot order a Interrail Pass for the country where you live.
• You cannot use the Interrail Pass to travel to or from the country your Pass is valid in. The Interrail Pass is only valid for travel with participating train, ferry and public transport companies in the country covered by your Pass.
• You can hop on and off most trains as you please with your Interrail Pass , but most high-speed and night trains ask you to buy an additional seat reservation before you can jump aboard.
• 1st class Passes are valid in both 1st and 2nd class carriages. 2nd class Passes are only valid in 2nd class carriages.
• All standard Interrail Passes are refundable or exchangeable if they are returned unused.

Renfe Spain Pass vs Eurail Pass or Interrail Pass

• The Renfe Spain Pass includes all reservations, there are no hidden fees, and no quotas. So if there are empty seats on the train, you’re entitled to get one with your pass.
• With Renfe’s Spain Pass it’s all included, reservations are free.
• With either a Interrail or a Eurail pass every Spanish long-distance train requires a reservation and payment of a passholder fee, around 10€ for AVEs and other front-rank trains or 7€ for lesser trains which you should take into account.

So both Interrail & Eurail passes have lost their convenience factor in Spain.
