Today we took the AVE train from Cordoba to Madrid. AVE, which stands for Alta Velocidad Espanola, is the high speed train that can go up to 310 km per hour. It got us back to Madrid in less than two hours.
The Renfe, or Spanish train system, is known for a difficult website, though the web fares offer a significant discount. We found it not too bad, with some research and preparation. Your best bet is to read this extremely helpful article: A Beginner's Guide to Train Travel in Spain, which has a section on
How to Use Renfe.com
