The Ave product belongs to Renfe,the Spanish Passenger and Freight Railway Transport Service dependent on of the Ministry of Development.

The first passenger trip occurred on 21 April 1992 between the cities of Madrid and Seville. This milestone led to the commissioning of the high-speed railway in Spain.Since then,the Ave has transformed the lives of many people offering a new, faster, safer, more comfortable and environmentally- friendlier way of traveling.

Renfe’s high-speed train has not only improved the connections and traveling time among over a dozen locations countrywide, but it has also carried millions of people.

Our service highlight is punctuality.Our annual on-time percentage has never been below 99%. This holds a direct relation with the company's 1994 undertaking, whereby we are committed to refund the ticket full price in case of delay above five minutes for reasons attributable to the company.

Today we operate the following high-speed routes: Madrid-Ciudad Real-Cordoba-Seville,Madrid-Zaragoza-Camp de Tarragona and Madrid- Zaragoza-Huesca. Coming soon is the start-up of the route connecting Madrid with Barcelona,Valladolid and Malaga.
