Renfe alone runs up to 22 trains a day, so there is a departure most hours from early morning into the evening. Non-stop trains take about 1 hour 25 minutes to 1 hour 35 minutes. Others call at Camp de Tarragona and Lleida and need around 1 hour 45 minutes, while the Alvia takes about 2 hours. Pick a non-stop train when the times suit you. It saves about 20 minutes. Most of these trains run on to [Madrid](). Zaragoza is a stop of only a few minutes, so have your bags ready before the train pulls in. Since 28 October 2026 high-speed trains between Madrid and Andalucía have been suspended after an accident, so trains that normally run through between [Barcelona]() and [Seville](), Málaga or [Granada]() via Zaragoza are affected until the line reopens. Times may shift with the timetable change on 13 December 2026, so look at your own date if you travel later. ## The slow regional train Renfe also runs a regional train from Barcelona over the old line via Tarragona, Reus, Móra la Nova and Caspe. It takes about five and a half hours. Before ending at Zaragoza-Delicias it calls at Zaragoza Goya and Zaragoza-El Portillo. Take it only if you want to stop along the way. ## Stations at each end All the high-speed trains leave from Barcelona Sants. The regional train starts at Barcelona França and also calls at Passeig de Gràcia and Sants. You arrive at Zaragoza-Delicias, the city's main station. Cercanías commuter trains, city buses and a taxi rank are all at the station. Getting into town is simple. ## Tickets and fares Each company sells tickets for its own trains, and the cheapest fares go to people who book early. | Company | Fare options | Good to know | | --- | --- | --- | | Renfe (AVE, Alvia) | Básico, Elige or Prémium | Básico allows a change for €10, made at least 24 hours before departure | | iryo | Four fare levels | The top level adds meal service at your seat | | OUIGO | Adult fares from €9 | One small bag and one cabin bag are included; extra luggage costs more | Renfe's Elige ticket includes one free change, and Prémium allows unlimited free changes.
