Starting on 20 February 2008 a new train special of AVE (
Alta Velocidad Espanola), offers its clients a round trip ticket for only € 96.- Barcelona - Madrid - Barcelona or the other way around. The advantage of going by train is that you go from city center to city center in only 2 hours and 28 minutes, which is almost two hours less than the train took in 2004. This new service has a daily capacity of around 13 000 passangers, which is equal to 91 airplanes. This might worry the airline companies, but the Spanish people and the thousands of tourists are happy for being able to explore Spain and get from the capital of the country to the sunshine capital of Catalunya. The Spanish train has improved over the last years and will continue to improve to the advantage of its passengers. You can book your high-speed train tickets online, on the
Renfe Homepage.
Now, where you do not have to worry about how to get from A to B, it is time to find a
Barcelona accommodation and an
accommodation in Madrid. There are plenty of nice and charming
hotels in Madrid and the same is true for
Barcelona hotels. It would also be an option rent your own cosy
Barcelona apartment for the duration of your stay. BarcelonaPoint will most certainly help you to find the
accommodation in Spain you are looking for.
