I took this route a few years ago when I visited Spain. It is decades ahead of ANYTHING we have in the United States.
Great service for a reasonable price! It's really cool that you can afford prices between 10-30€ for high-speed train in that distance. In US and Japan minimum starts from 100$. Also, really clean, fast and comfortable! It is said that high-speed trains in Spain and Italy are underestimated. Mostly, when people hear about those trains they usually think about Japan, France or sometimes China, but not Spain.
AVE is really great, Avlo is good value, Ouigo is an utter disaster - fortunately the network is designed to allow other trains to speed past them when they're stuck broken down.
I came back to Barcelona two days ago from Alicante. Train arrived 15 minutes late and I got a 50% refund. You’d never get that in the United States 😂
I traveled to Madrid from Alicante in January just before covid on my way to Melbourne Australia from Barajas airport, I went Preferente and the service was superb. I later found out that by paying preferente that I would have got full valet parking at Alicante for the duration of my journey also free airport transfers to and from Barajas and also a inclusive meal and drinks service on the AVE from Alicante to Madrid and the same on the return. I think the price of the ticket was no more or not much more than 50-00€ each way. Amazing service and amazing value, oh and the train departed to the second and arrived on time!! ❤️🇪🇸
Can't imagine any UK operator offering such generous compensation for late arrivals😂😂
Years ago in my youth [1973] I traveled by train [2nd class] from Lisbon-Madrid-Paris and Vienna. The compartments held 6-8 people. Certainly different from today. Vendors came onboard at some of the stops selling snacks. 2nd class today looks heavenly. Now I am old enough and wealthier 1st class all the way! Great video. I travel with you. 🙂
How anyone can still prefer flying over trains is beyond me.
Beautiful train with all the style the Spanish are famed for. But Barcelona Sans station is a bit of a pit, good to see it’s finally finished but it’s really badly designed when it comes to getting to and from trains, narrow escalators leading to the platforms get very crowded and I have seen some people injured. The other much much bigger problem with the station is it’s riddled with pick pockets and I mean riddled. I know several people who have been robbed there so make sure all purses and wallets are hidden away and securely fastened. I know one person who has put razor blades on the outside of his wallet so fed up was he with getting robbed. Enjoy your journey through there but be safe and careful
This kind of trains services several lines in Spain and covers great part of the country.
What an amazing service! Will definitely be trying this route out when I come to Europe. Thanks for sharing. Always love your vids ❤️❤️❤️ keep up the fantastic work mate
Another trip to add to my list! Great trains and a wonderful station at Madrid. Happy New Year!
A very interesting video! - I enjoyed a lot traveling Barcelona-Madrid city. Thanks, Renfe!
The views got scenic after passing the tunnels. It's in my bucket list to travel on high speed trains...till then travelling wid u. Love from India😍♥️
Well done. Makes me want to travel internationally again. Thank you!
Probably one of the best trains that Renfe bought up to day.
Great review!! Love the luxurious ambience, quiet ride and speed.. Love that familiar whine when the train accelerates. The LIRR and Metro North commuter trains make the same whine. The fare structure reminds me of airline pricing. Thank you Max for sharing😀😀♥️♥️
Puerta de Atocha is stunning! So many hst!
These are fantastic trains, they look very comfortable, clean and are fast. It's obvious that you enjoyed the ride 👍🚄
