This page is under construction.

In the meantime, you can check the page dedicated to cycling on the RENFE website (main railway operator). For other railway operators, see the Iryo and OUIGO España pages. See also the post Taking Bikes on Trains in Spain by Cycle Fiesta, which covers more train categories and operators.

Until a more complete guide is written, you’ll find here a non-exhaustive glimpse of what some trains look like in Spain. See also the VagonWEB photo gallery page for Spain.

High-speed terminal

A luggage scan is mandatory before boarding high-speed services. It’s not clear whether bicycles have to be scanned, but I’m happy to report that a packed bicycle fitting within a width of 80 cm (e.g. with the front wheel removed and the saddle removed) successfully went through these scanners.
