The much-anticipated high-speed rail connection between the Region of Murcia and Madrid will get underway on Tuesday December 20 with four new daily journeys in each direction.

And to celebrate the launch, Renfe is offering 30,000 standard tickets for the bargain price of just 19 euros each. The cut-price tickets will be on sale between December 14 and 29 and can be used for travel until December 2023.

The new AVE service will ferry passengers from Murcia to the Spanish capital in as little as 2 hours and 45 minutes, although other journey options will be available that include stops in Alicante, Elche, Orihuela, Villena, Albacete and Cuenca.

In addition, the current intercity services between Murcia-Albacete-Madrid and the weekend connection from Águilas to Madrid, will continue on as normal.

As part of its commitment to its customers, Renfe will also offer refunds of 50% if trains are delayed between 15 and 30 minutes and 100% on services that are more than 30 minutes late.
