  AVE Trains  
The original AVE trains of Spain operate on the Madrid-Cordova-Seville route, covering the distance from Madrid to Seville in just 2h30. The service has reached such a reliable level that the operators guarantee arrival within 5 minutes of the advertised time or your money back!
In 2003 the first phase of a new AVE track from Madrid to the French border was completed linking Madrid to Zaragoza via high-speed trains. The speeds on this line were improved over the next 3 years to reach 250km or 155 miles per hour.

Which routes are covered by the AVE?

The service also takes you from Madrid to Seville, Malaga, Toledo and nearly to Barcelona. See AVE Routes in Spain, including details of travel times and links to buy direct.

Guided Tours by AVE
With such an efficient train service available to you, it makes sense to take advantage of it by making day trips that would normally be off limits due to the distance between the cities. Take a look at some Guided Tours by AVE to Toledo, Cordoba & Seville.
