In recent decades, Spain has built an extensive high-speed train network. We’re talking about the second largest network on the entire planet and number one when compared to the size of the Spanish population. And there’s an almost total political consensus regarding this infrastructure. The AVE, which is the Spanish network, is almost a source of national pride.
However, economic data tell us a very different story.
After an investment of almost 60 billion euros, the Spanish network is one of the most underused in the world. What does this mean? Why did Spain embark on a frantic race to master high speed? What role are they playing?
In this video, we’ll answer all these questions and bring you closer to the reality of this infrastructure, beyond what Spanish politicians say.
