The ‘low cost’ AVE is here. The AVLO’s first trip, the new Renfe service, was launched today. A high speed with more competitive prices that will allow you to travel between Madrid and Barcelona from 7 euros each way.

AVLO will travel this route four times a day, for a total of 16,000 seats per day. Each train will have 438 seats and its top speed reaches 330 kilometers / hour, which allows traveling between the two capitals in one approximate time of about 2 hours and 45 minutes.

The first AVLO train left the station today from Figueres-Vilafant at 5:35 a.m. to Madrid. Equivalently, a little later, at 6:20 a.m., another train left from Madrid-Puerta de Atocha to Barcelona.

This new high-speed service will have stops in Madrid, Guadalajara, Catalayud, Zaragoza, Lleida, Tarragona, Barcelona, ​​Girona and Figueres.

Initially the first trip was scheduled for April 6, with the intention of launching the liberalization of the railway sector in Spain. However, due to the pandemic, according to Renfe, the first AVLO journey has been delayed until today. That has caused that on May 10, the Ouigo service was released in an equivalent route. A Renfe competitor with tickets starting at 9 euros.
