Madrid to Oviedo/Uvieu Route Overview

This route changed significantly after the Pajares Base Tunnel opened to passenger trains in 2023, cutting the former mountain crossing between Leon and Asturias by more than an hour on many services. South of Leon the train uses Spain's high-speed network across the Castilian plateau; north of the tunnel the line descends into the Nalón and Caudal valleys toward central Asturias. Long-distance tickets on this route are seat-specific, so passengers board the train and coach printed on the ticket rather than using open seating. The approach into Asturias is the route's distinctive feature, with tunnels, viaducts, and green mountain valleys replacing the older winding Pajares pass for most Madrid to Oviedo services.
