Eco-friendly train trips in Spain are sustainable tourism routes that connect the country’s most iconic cities using the high-speed rail network. By choosing the train over the plane or car, you reduce your CO₂ emissions by up to 90%, arrive in the city center, and contribute to a model of responsible tourism. At EcoJourney Spain, we take care of all the planning: tickets, sustainable accommodations, and support during the trip.
Our eco-friendly train trips in Spain have three price categories according to the level of service. The Backpacker option starts from €340 per person, the Premium Route from €510, including 3- and 4-star hotels with all transports included, and the Luxury Route from €860 with higher category hotels and train in Preferente class. All prices are starting prices and vary by route and season.
We offer five sustainable train routes across Spain: Capitals of Spain (Barcelona → Madrid, 4 nights), Spain from North to South (Barcelona → Madrid → Sevilla, 6 nights), North of Spain (Madrid → Valladolid → A Coruña, 6 nights), South of Spain (Madrid → Córdoba → Sevilla → Granada, 8 nights), and City and Beach (Madrid → Sevilla → Cádiz, 6 nights). Each includes a minimum of 2 nights per city.
Yes. While we offer five standard routes, all our routes are customizable. You can extend or shorten the number of nights per city, add or remove destinations, or combine elements from different routes. Contact us through our form, and a personal advisor will prepare a quote tailored to your dates, group, and preferences with no commitment.
Yes, all our eco-friendly travel packages across Spain include accommodation. Depending on the chosen category, you will stay in central hostels and lodgings (Backpacker), 3- and 4-star hotels (Premium Route), or luxury hotels (Luxury Route). All accommodations have been verified by our team and are located near the city center to facilitate walking transport and further reduce environmental impact.
For most routes within Spain, the train is a better option than the airplane. The Spanish AVE connects Madrid with Barcelona in 2h30min, with Sevilla in 2h30min, and with Valencia in 1h40min. Adding in the time taken for airport transfers, check-in, and baggage pickup, the train is equal to or faster than the plane door-to-door. It also generates 90% less CO₂ than flying and takes you directly to the center of each city.
Absolutely. Train trips are especially recommended for families with children. The AVE cars provide ample space for luggage, are quiet and comfortable for several-hour journeys, and children under 4 travel for free. The routes we include are designed to enjoy cities at a leisurely pace, with a minimum of 2 nights per destination, allowing enough time to visit family-friendly attractions without stress.
Yes. EcoJourney Spain is a legally registered travel agency in Spain with CIF B26794602, complying with all current regulations in the Spanish and European tourism sector. We have the mandatory traveler insurance and consumer protection required by law. We are available from Monday to Sunday from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM and respond to any queries within a maximum of 8 hours.
