AVE (Alta Velocidad Española)

AVE (Alta Velocidad Española) is Spain’s high-speed train network designed for fast and efficient travel between major cities. It operates on specially built, electrified tracks that enable trains to reach speeds of up to 310 km/h (193 mph), significantly reducing travel times. AVE trains offer modern comfort, punctuality, and safety, making rail travel a competitive alternative to road and air transport for domestic trips. Launched in the early 1990s, the AVE network has expanded across Spain, connecting key urban centers and boosting economic development and regional integration through reliable, high-speed rail services.
