Altaria Train

If you are planning to travel from Spain's capital, Madrid, to the southern cities of this sun-kissed country, taking an Altaria train is the best choice. Operated by Renfe, these trains are equipped with gauge-changing technology that permits them to run on both high-speed and conventional lines, allowing to make the most out of any railway route Altaria trains happen to run along. In addition to fast travel times, the long-distance Altaria trains also offer a broad departure schedule and great onboard amenities, including 2 travel classes (Turista and Preferente), air-conditioning, comfy and spacious reclining seats, audio/video entertainment systems, and an onboard cafe/bar, serving a wide variety of snacks and drinks. Recently the trains were renamed and are currently known as Intercity.
