Gijon/Xixon to Madrid Route Overview

This route links the Asturian coast with the Spanish capital by crossing the Cantabrian Mountains through the 24.6 km Pajares Base Tunnel, opened to passenger traffic in 2023. North of Leon, trains run through mountain and valley sections; south of Leon they use faster high-speed infrastructure toward Valladolid, Segovia, and Madrid. Seats on Renfe long-distance trains are reserved by default, so each ticket includes a specific train, coach, and seat rather than open boarding. Alvia trains use gauge-changing technology, allowing them to connect Asturias with Spain's standard-gauge high-speed network without requiring a train change.
