Why Choose Travel by AVE Trains

video
AVE high-speed trains are operated by Renfe and connect over 10 major Spanish cities, including Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Malaga, and Seville. Plus, it is a top choice as traveling on AVE trains from Madrid to Barcelona and other popular railway routes in Spain is very convenient. All Renfe trains are fast, but the modern AVE train is the "superstar" among them, reaching the top speed of 350 kph (217 mph)! The name of the train is exceptionally fitting, although it stands for "Alta Velocidad Espanola" (meaning "Spanish high-speed"), as luck would have it, the word "ave" in Spanish can also be translated as "a bird'. Apart from quick AVE train speed and short travel times, the trains offer 3 travel classes as well as many routes and departure times to choose from. All coaches are air-conditioned and equipped with comfortable seats, have power outlets, TV screens, radio, as well as generous luggage space. Drinks and snacks can be purchased in onboard cafeterias, available on most trains. Plus, passengers can also enjoy entertaining multimedia, the audio system, newspapers, and magazines during the trip. For your convenience, we have put together answers to some often asked questions about this Spanish train.
