High-speed rail travel on the AVE provides direct city-center connections, significantly reducing total travel time compared to flying, which requires airport check-in and transit. Buses are a budget-friendly alternative but take over 8 hours to complete the trip. For those prioritizing speed and a central arrival at Madrid Atocha, the train is the superior choice for the Girona-Madrid corridor.
