The Madrid-Valencia AVE high speed train was inaugurated yesterday by the King and Queen of Spain. From this moment, only 95 minutes journey separate the Sorolla station in Valencia from the Atocha station in Madrid.
This convenient means of transport will allow travellers to reach fast and easily the Valencia or Madrid city centre, avoiding luggage check-ins, annoying airport security controls and additional trips from the airport to the city centre.
To celebrate this new route, RENFE has launched a limited offer: tickets bought on internet at least 15 days before the travel day will cost 31.9 EUR. Regular one way tickets bought at the station will cost 79.8 EUR and business class ones will cost 143.7 EUR.
