Which is the train station to get the AVE train from Barcelona to Madrid? Saying at Hotel Granvia located on Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes.
Barcelona-Sants
In attempting to make AVE train reservations online, several Barcelona stations appear in the list besides Barcelona Sants. They are Barcelona* (don't know what the asterisk means), Barcelona L Sagrera Meridiana, and Barcelona Estacio De Franca. Does anyone know which is the one to choose?
Marsha, I sent you a message on this. But the short answer for others reading this is the asterisk choice ( can't duplicate it on my iPad but that should be clear.)
Nearly every train winds up in Barcelona-Sants, the main station. It would be the safest and easiest to choose that.
AVE trains only stop at Barcelona-Sants. If you pick any of the other Barcelona stations they will sell you a ticket from there, but you will have to get a local train from there to Sants.
