Travel by train for free in Spain
Imagine exploring Spain by train, admiring stunning landscapes without spending a dime on transportation. This is not a dream, but a reality possible thanks to the Recurrent Abono, a Spanish government program. This extraordinary benefit allows travelers, including tourists and international students, to enjoy unlimited train travel on specific routes, making the exchange experience even more enriching and accessible.
How does the recurring allowance work
The Recurring Pass is an innovative program that offers free train travel in Spain. This benefit is available to everyone, including tourists and international students, making it an excellent option for those who want to explore the country economically and sustainably.
To take advantage of this unique opportunity, you must request the Recurring Pass through the official channels of Renfe, the main railway operator in Spain. The process is simple and can be done online, through website or Renfe's app, or in person at self-service machines or train station counters.
Requesting and using the recurring allowance
The Recurring Allowance application process is fairly straightforward. Here are the key steps and some important information:
- Access the Renfe website, app, self-service machines, or kiosks.
- Select the “SUBSCRIPTION” option and fill in your personal details, including name, email, and passport number.
- Choose the two stations (origin and destination) that you plan to travel between.
- Make the payment of a security deposit of 20 euros.
- With this benefit, when study and work in Spain you can explore different regions of the country and practice Spanish in various cities.
Recurring allowance benefits and limitations
The Recurring Ticket offers a unique opportunity to travel extensively around Spain at a minimum cost. With this pass, you are entitled to unlimited travel on the chosen route during the validity period, which is four months.
One of the great advantages of this program is the possibility of refunding the deposit. If you make at least 16 trips on the chosen route during the four-month period, the 20 euros of the deposit will be automatically returned at the end of the period. This means that with frequent use, your train trips will be completely free.
