Between the three there is a train most hours from morning until late evening. The quickest trains run non-stop and take about 1 hour 40 minutes. Trains that call at Lleida and Camp de Tarragona take about 2 hours, and the Alvia a little longer. Choose a non-stop train if the time works. You gain about 20 minutes. Most of these trains start in [Madrid](), and some carry on past Barcelona Sants to [Girona]() and Figueres Vilafant. Sants is your stop for the city. Since 28 October 2026 high-speed trains between Madrid and Andalucía have been suspended after an accident, so trains that normally run through from [Seville](), Málaga or [Granada]() to [Barcelona]() 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 regional trains from Zaragoza-Delicias over the old line via Caspe, Móra la Nova, Reus and Tarragona. They take over five hours. Before leaving Zaragoza they call at Zaragoza-El Portillo and Zaragoza Goya, and in Barcelona they stop at Sants, Passeig de Gràcia and Barcelona França. They make sense only if you want to stop along the way. ## Stations at each end All the high-speed trains leave from Zaragoza-Delicias, the city's main station, where Cercanías commuter trains and city buses connect. In Barcelona the high-speed trains arrive at Barcelona Sants. It has Cercanías and metro connections, buses and a taxi rank. From there the rest of the city is easy to reach. ## Tickets and fares Tickets are sold by each company for its own trains.
