Spain has launched a new low-fare, a high-speed rail line that connects passengers from Madrid to Barcelona with prices starting from just €10 (US $11) each way. The new line is known as AVLO, from the national rail company Renfe, and tickets will be priced between €10 and €60 (US$66) per journey, depending on the route and time of travel. The high-speed AVLO service will offer three daily trains each way between Madrid and Barcelona, Spain’s busiest travel route. Travellers under the age of 14, who are accompanied by an adult, will pay just €5 (US$5.51). Commencing services in April, the rail line is offering passengers an average discount of 60% on fares between Madrid and Barcelona compared to the cost of the existing high-speed AVE trains (whose one-way tickets start from €32.30/US$35.60).
