Figueres to Madrid Route Overview

Figueres Vilafant sits on the high-speed line toward the French border, but Madrid-bound trains head south through Catalonia before turning inland. Unlike the central Figueres station, Vilafant is outside the town center, so allow time for the local transfer. AVE tickets include an assigned seat; there is no non-reserved carriage. Check whether your search result is direct or requires a change at Barcelona Sants.

Figueres to Madrid Map

From Figueres Vilafant, the standard-gauge high-speed line runs south through Girona to Barcelona Sants. It then joins the Madrid-Barcelona corridor through inland Catalonia and Aragón, passing the Lleida and Zaragoza areas before reaching Madrid Atocha. Station calls vary by train. The view changes from the agricultural plains of the Empordà to drier inland landscapes; this is not a coastal railway.

AVE reaches Madrid's Atocha district without an airport transfer, although Figueres Vilafant itself requires a local transfer from central Figueres. Direct rail departures should be checked for the selected date; connecting trains via Barcelona can add options. Flying requires reaching an airport such as Girona or Barcelona, while a coach itinerary may require changes and substantially more road time. Electric rail generally has lower per-passenger emissions than flying; no verified direct bus or flight quote is supplied here, and zero-valued comparison entries do not represent free travel.
