Cheap train travel coming to Spain
Looks like the French are bring the 'Ryanair' of the train world to Spain - meanwhile the low-cost AVE service is on hold!

Renfre do a Tarjeta Dorado which was 6 euros but this might have gone up. All you have to do is take your passport and residency card or paper and a passport sized photo to your local station. A form is completed, they send the paperwork and photo to their main office who will produce a plastic card for you to gain your discount. I have not used the tram so not sure whether this card works for that. The discount is very generous.

I found it a waste of time as most fares are available with a discount but you cannot use the card with these fares. The best discounts are obtained by timing your purchase the same as the cheap airlines.
