Spanish authorities are extending a popular free rail ticket scheme in conjunction with operator Renfe.
Launched by Spanish authorities last year to help tackle the cost-of-living crisis for residents, the free train travel period was due to end this spring. However, authorities extended the program to December 2023, meaning travelers visiting Spain can now take advantage.
To travel for free on Renfe’s Cercanias/Rodalies and Media Distancia services this winter, you will need to register for a multi-trip season ticket and pay a deposit, which will be refunded to you if you make the minimum 16 journeys
Here’s how to obtain your free multi-trip ticket:
- Step 1 Register with Renfe either online at Renfe.com, or using the Renfe or Renfe Cercanias app.
- Step 2 Subscribe for a multi-trip pass and pay a deposit to get your ticket. The deposit is between €10 and €20, and it’s recommended that you pay by card as it’s easier to refund.
- Step 3 Make at least 16 journeys
Anyone can snap up the free tickets as long as they select multi-journey tickets. Multi-journey tickets include a minimum of 10 return trips. To be eligible for the offer, you must travel on commuter and medium-distance services operated by Renfe.
Play your (rail)cards right, and you could save money while you, ahem, Basque in the glow of San Sebastian and Bilbao, exploring great cities at your leisure.
Or, perhaps you’ll want to zip between the coast of Barcelona and the Catalan countryside to maximize a short city break. There are plenty of ways the free train rides could boost your next adventure.
Just be careful with how you plan your itinerary. Many major train routes, including those high-speed journeys between Madrid and Barcelona, won’t be part of the scheme. It may take a little longer than usual to reach your preferred destination.
