any thoughts/suggestions/tips on best way to get from barcelona to madrid? we are thinking AVE train but wondering if flying is a better option. our thoughts are airport hassle/check in/etc would make it probably longer or just as long as AVE ... also, is anyone familiar with renfe?
thanks!
Train wins hands down. Don’t even think about flying, it’s a major hassle and will save you no time. In fact, given all that’s involved, it’s probably longer or a wash. Sit back, have a drink, watch the world go by and arrive in downtown Madrid.

Have to agree the train is the way to go. We did the opposite route and enjoyed the convenience and relaxation.
Train is much faster and the comfort is great.
