We’re excited to announce that, starting April 1st, iryo, Spain’s first private high-speed train operator, will be joining the Pass network! With iryo, you’ll be able to explore even more of Spain, with increased flexibility and convenience.

 

Who Is iryo?

Welcome to the future of high-speed train travel in Spain! iryo is a partnership bringing together the expertise of:

🚄 Trenitalia – A European leader in rail transport and high-speed innovation.

🌍 Globalvia – Experts in infrastructure and mobility services.
✈️ Air Nostrum – Spain’s leading airline.

iryo provides travellers departing from Madrid, Zaragoza, Barcelona, Valencia, Alicante, Córdoba, Málaga, Seville, Albacete, Cuenca, and Camp de Tarragona with more frequent, comfortable, and high-speed service.

iryo operates the same state-of-the-art Frecciarossa 1000 trains as Trenitalia in Italy. These trains are completely silent and eco-friendly, designed with advanced aerodynamics and energy-saving technologies. They can reach speeds of up to 300 km/h while remaining highly sustainable, with 98% of the parts being recyclable!

  • Safety First: State-of-the-art air filtration systems refresh the air in each coach every three minutes, ensuring a safe and clean travel experience.
  • Onboard Amenities: High-quality Wi-Fi, restaurant areas, and spacious seating designed for your comfort.

Great that this is now possible! 😍
Will it be possible to book reservations for trips in May with the IRY from Barcelona to Madrid before the beginning of April? Or can reservations for a trip, for example, on April 1st, only be made on April 1st?


Based on this post and the app message, I indeed expect reservations to only be available from April 1st for travel from April 1st. If you want to ensure you get to Madrid, there are plenty of Renfe trains on that route, though for a trip in May waiting until April 1st should be okay.
