Renfe Train network in Spain
The Spanish rail network is known as RENFE and it operates a fairly complicated schedule. The express trains have 4 different levels of speed and luxury and are called Electrotren, TER, Talgo and Pendular. Always try to make an advance reservation on RENFE trains if possible or purchase a RENFE railpass in Spain (where they will cost you less than if you purchased them outside of Spain). RENFE tickets may be purchased at the railway stations or travel agents with a RENFE sign. We would recommend that you reserve a seat on longer trips as the trains can get fairly crowded.
To help you with your research into using the RENFE rail network in Spain, we have found a series of maps on the RENFE website and added them to this website for your reference. The RENFE Maps Index
