Spain is a country underestimated in many respects, we have great toll-free highways, train lines running all over the country, great prospects in its big cities and much more intangible resources

I had the opportunity to travel with all high-speed train brands aside from Avlo when I visited Spain at the end of last year. I celebrate every little bit of progress Spain makes in making the country more accessible 🙌

I traveled around Spain last September, largely on high speed trains, and only Renfe. I was lucky enough to be able to go first class, so I had lunch on the trip from Madrid to Barcelona, and breakfast from Barcelona to Seville. My only complaint is I could not find the first class lounge in Barcelona, and none of the train station staff had a clue where or what it was. Very enjoyable trips, quiet and smooth. One amusing anecdote: on the Madrid to Barcelona trip I had to enter on Car #1 to get to Car #2. The Renfe employee addressed me in French! Luckily I speak a fair amount of French. He later told me he assumed I was was continuing on to France.

Great video Tony, VERY informative & enlightening. We shall definitely travel this way more often. We've already done the Valencia - Madrid fast train & that was simply amazing! Many thanks, keep up the great work amigo...

Great train video!! Your videos were soooo helpful when we visited Spain & Portugal last fall!! Thank you for bringing such content to your channel. My husband & I love it!! 😁👍🏼

[bethm]

Thanks for all of your wonderful information!

[fredcookerly]

Thanks for the update! We have used Renfe trains exclusively so far but will take our first trip on iryo to Valencia in March. Looking forward to seeing what they are like. Heading over to watch video #146 now.

My wife and I thank you for all of you work to provide all of your information on travel to and within Spain. We are traveling to Spain for our granddaughters university graduation this May in Madrid. We will be spending 2 plus weeks making Madrid our home base while we take day trips and also travel for overnight stays in other cities like Seville and Granada. We would like to hire local guides in each city and would appreciate your input on how to find, contact and hire qualified personal guides.

An excellent and ultrainformative video!

[artmann]

Another informative video. Thank you. We've done many Renfe trains in the past and on an upcoming trip we're going to try Iryo for the Madrid-Malaga and Malaga-Valencia (changing trains in Madrid) trips.

You always outdo yourselves! Ten minutes of video that guarantee a complete trip. I loved it!❤

[andychan]

I am so glad that your channel exists because I am currently planning my trip to Spain! Do you have plan to add videos for the Basque Country? I saw a couple from your Spanish channel (with auto-generated subtitles and English translations), and I would love it if you can make them for this channel as well. Thank you!

Hi Tony! We are so lucky to come across your channel! Your videos are informative, full of useful tips and are of such high quality! Thank you for being so meticulous about details and for your hard work.
We have a question about AVE speed train by Renfe. Particularly about their luggage. The information on the website says they allow 3 pieces of luggage with the largest being 85x55x35 and total weight of 25 kg. We will be coming to Spain by plane and travelling with the standard airline allowance for each of us - 1 large suitcase of 23 kg + carry on of 10kg . This is more than 25 kg, even though the measurements are within the limit. We are wondering, do they actually weigh the luggage at AVE?
And what happens if we are over the limit - nowhere on their website it says how much we would have to pay. It is only with AVLO and OUIGO that they mention extra fees for extra luggage.
Thank you so much for your advice in advance!

Is there a train from Madrid to Andalusia? If so, how long does it take? Thanks so much for all your videos! They are so informative and helpful!

[JudyChu-ew]

Hi Tony, thanks a lot for producing these very practical high quality videos! I have a few questions about buying high-speed train tickets:
1) what are the pros and cons of getting a Renfe Spain Pass for travelling by train in Spain?
2) I noticed that the Trainline website charges more than the Renfe website for the same train. Is it true that Trainline charges more than Renfe?
3) I cannot find the AVE train posted on Trainline's website when I went to Renfe's website. Why is this the case? Am I missing something here?
4) On Trainline's website, I see trains operated by Renfe and Renfe AVE. What is the difference between Renfe and Renfe AVE?
Thanks a lot in advance for helping me understand how to find train tickets in Spain.

[GinaCastano]

Thank you for your time/talent/sharing! I'll be in Toledo and want to attend the Lumina Cathedral and the only tickets available has the program ending at 8:50 pm. The last train back to Madrid leaves at 9:26 pm. How much time do I need at the train station to get back to Madrid? It appears to be a 10 minute drive from the cathedral to the train station.

[napster]

Actually, Spain is the well conected country in the world.

[samkelley]

Hey Tony love the channel! I’ll be in Spain later this year and wanted to know what the best way to travel from Barcelona to San Sebastián to Oviedo would be. Thanks for any suggestions!

[Mike-mzw]

Very helpful video. But I was puzzled why you say there is no plan to link Madrid with Badajoz and ultimately Lisbon by high speed. As far as I understand this project is very much underway and that part of the line is already operating (although not yet at full high speed). Please can you say why we should not believe any of the reports of these developments?
