Euromed (train)

Euromed is a high-speed rail service operated by Renfe along the Spanish Mediterranean coast.

Euromed entered commercial service on June 16, 1997, along a 523 km (325 mi) Mediterranean corridor, between the cities of Barcelona, Tarragona, Castellón de la Plana, Valencia and Alicante.

Since January 2020 the Euromed service connects the city of Barcelona to the city of Valencia in 2 hours and 35 minutes and Barcelona to Alicante in 4 hours and 20 minutes while some services are extended to Girona and Figueres.

The service started using series 101 EMU rolling stock with bogies adapted for use on the 1,668 mm (5 ft 5+21⁄32 in) Iberian gauge track.

In 2020 all the TGV based rolling stock was converted to standard gauge and since January 2020 replaced by the new RENFE Class 130 trainsets, capable of reaching speeds up to 250 km/h (160 mph).
