Oviedo/Uvieu to Madrid Route Overview

The Oviedo/Uvieu to Madrid route is one of the main rail links between Asturias and central Spain, using the Pajares Base Tunnel to cross the Cantabrian Mountains south of Pola de Lena. This tunnel, opened for passenger service in 2023, is the defining feature of the route because it cuts the mountain crossing that historically made Asturias rail trips much slower. Alvia trains use variable-gauge technology, allowing the same train to run from Iberian-gauge tracks in Asturias onto standard-gauge high-speed sections toward Madrid. Long-distance seats on this route are reserved, so each ticket is tied to a specific train and seat rather than open boarding.
