AIRPORTS In most Spanish airports there are air line companies offering connections to major cities all over the world. The airports offering the greatest num ber of international connections are Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas , El Prat (Barcelona) , Palma de Mallorca , Malaga , Gran Canaria , Alicante and Tenerife Sur. The seven Canary Islands all have their own airport, whereas in the Balearic Islands there are airports on Mallorca, Ibiza and Menorca. TRAIN The Spanish National Railway Net work (RENFE) links all the country's main cities and regions. The unques tionable stars of the system are the AVE high-speed trains which serve over 30 tourist destinations, with Ma drid as their main hub. To give you an idea: you can travel from Madrid to Valencia in only 95 minutes, or from Madrid to Barcelona in two and a half hours. As a tourist we recommend the Renfe Spain Pass , valid on all the long- and medium-distance AVE routes. The AVE network also has a Renfe-SNCF service that links Madrid and Barcelona with the main cities in France.
