But there is also another type of service on the route: Alvia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alvia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is the second-fastest train. It takes about 2:55h to complete the route<\/strong>. It is a perfect option if the train times and prices match your expectations. The prices will wildly vary depending on Renfe’s prices algorithm. Sometimes it can be less than 30\u20ac and sometimes more than 80\u20ac; on a weekday two weeks ahead, it started at 21.85\u20ac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alvia trains<\/a> have an optional fee for travelling in first class. All passengers can use the cafeteria coach where you can buy some food and snacks. The trains are adapted for passengers with reduced mobility. The Alvia trains can reach a speed of 155mph (250km\/h)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AVE trains<\/a> have business class, and a cafeteria and are adapted for passengers with reduced mobility<\/strong>. AVE trains are the most frequent type of service during the day.

On a weekday two weeks ahead, AVE fares were 26.65\u20ac\u201356\u20ac, and the cheapest train, a Ouigo, cost 13\u20ac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
