The first AVE service was inaugurated in 1992. AVE is an abbreviation for "Alta Velocidad Española," which means "Spanish high-speed." These trains are renowned for their speed, comfort, and modern features, connecting major cities in Spain such as Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, and Valencia. There are now high-speed AVE trains that travel to France. Below are three routes for AVE and a map to see where these Renfe high-speed AVE trains stop.
