What to know about Intercity Transport in Spain

Renfe is the primary official app and website for Renfe's high-speed, long-distance, Avant and many medium-distance services. It is not a complete Spanish rail marketplace: iryo and OUIGO sell their own trains on selected high-speed corridors, and local rail information may use Renfe Cercanías or a regional operator instead. Search the exact route across the relevant official operators before choosing solely by brand. The Renfe website is a valid fallback when its app or a foreign card fails, and Renfe says direct web and app purchases avoid its administration fee. Alsa is the strongest official coach app for an extensive Spanish and international network. BlaBlaCar can help on weakly served routes, but a private rideshare is not the safest connection to a flight or other fixed departure. Enter passenger details exactly, carry the passport or accepted photo identification required by the operator, and save the ticket offline. Review luggage, seat, change, cancellation and missed-service rules before paying. Stations with similar names can be far apart, and large cities have multiple terminals. Confirm the departure station and allow time for security or boarding controls. Buy direct when the price and terms are equivalent because an intermediary can complicate changes. Popular holiday, festival and weekend departures can sell out, and disruption should be checked again shortly before travel.
