RAIL tickets on Spain's high-speed network costing just €7 and €19 one way are up for grabs from now until Monday (March 8) to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the transport system.
The National Network of Spanish Railways (Red Nacional de Ferrocarriles Españoles), or RENFE, launched in 1941, two years after the end of the Civil War, although its express service is rather more recent.
With the AVE (Spanish High-Speed) network, passengers can reach their destination in as little as a quarter of the time it would take to drive – but this is one of the more expensive services.
For those who want to get from A to B as quickly and cheaply as they can and are not bothered about creature comforts, RENFE has recently launched its no-frills version, the AVLO – although at present, as it is still in its infancy, the only available connection is between Madrid and Barcelona, in either direction.
