Is the Eurail Spain Pass Good Value for Money?
The ticket costs $78(60€) per day of travel for first class travel and $60 (45€) for second class travel, though adding additional days brings the cost down.
A long journey in Spain (for example from Granada to Barcelona or Valencia to Santiago de Compostela) will cost about 50€-90€ ($65-$118).
If you are considering the first class version, note that some trains in Spain don't have a first class car. Night trains have standard 'turista' cars and first-class sleeper cars, which cost extra. Also, remember that you have to pay more to reserve your seat (essential in Spain) when traveling first class (when there are meals included) - this will cost you 23€ each time.
This is a good value pass if you plan on making just a few long distance journeys, but be careful about adding extra days just to cover your shorter journeys - it may be cheaper to buy them separately.
A popular route for tourists is the Madrid-Seville AVE express train which covers 535km in 2h30, costing 70€ for second class and 105€ for first class. If you are planning on taking this train, it is worth getting the pass.
