Spain's state railway is notamenable to understanding. The ticket prices here do not depend on the range of the passenger, but on the type of train. In appearance, the cars in the train are not much different from each other - everywhere are the seats. But trains are divided by type: long distance, medium or short. The latter are called “cercanes”. With our trains, they have only a common name. The rest is beauty, comfort, softly playing classical music, soft seating and, most importantly, speed. The train "Salou-Barcelona" is in no way inferior to the express train, unless it makes a little more stops on its way. The price of a ticket depends on the season, but in general it varies somewhere around eight euros. If you say the words "Ida and Huelda" (back and forth) in the box office window, then save yourself the trouble of standing in line for return tickets in Barcelona.
