Rail travel in Spain at the click of a button

International Rail, who offer the world's largest selection of rail tickets and passes, are appealing to travellers to remember the train when planning any forthcoming trips to Spain.

With planned air strikes threatened to last throughout the Easter and summer holidays, plus the new restrictions on highway speed limits, British travellers could feel that Spain isn't a viable option for their holidays this summer. However taking the train is a viable option as indicated by Rod Maton, Chairman of International Rail who comments, "Whilst most travellers think of Spain in terms of flying and driving, actually Renfe (Spanish Railways) is absolutely fantastic and offers great flexibility and value for individuals and families alike. You can travel to Spain from the UK by train and once you have arrived in the country why not use the train to explore and travel between the different regions, cities and towns."

Train fares from London to Spain start from just £89* per person. Sleeper train options are also available from just £210** per person, allowing visitors to enjoy the romance of the railway and marvel at the spectacular scenery and landscape of Spain.

International Rail, as Renfe's appointed UK agent, has direct access to the Renfe booking system which allows them to give travellers an efficient, up to date and fast booking service for all rail travel within Spain. The service also allows UK travellers to find the best fares, train timetables, and availability.
