DISpain has the second-largest high-speed rail network in the world — only behind China.
With over 3,800 kilometers (2,360 miles) of high-speed track, Spain’s AVE trains connect most major cities across the country, often cutting journey times in half. Trains regularly reach speeds of up to 310 km/h (193 mph).
This puts Spain ahead of countries like France, Germany, and even Japan — the birthplace of high-speed rail.
Despite its relatively small population, Spain made a major push in the early 2000s to invest in rail infrastructure as a sustainable and efficient alternative to flying or driving.
