EUR 1.80, a two-zone single. A return is EUR 3.60 — two singles, valid the same day only. Children under six travel free, up to two per adult ticket. Buy at the machines or ticket office, to use within two hours; a contactless card or phone also opens the gates, but you must tap out as well as in, or the card is charged the five-zone maximum.

Worth knowing

From the airport toward the city: 06:44, 07:19, 07:54, then every 20 minutes at :14, :34 and :54 until 22:54 (weekends: 07:54, 08:34, 09:14, 09:54, then every 20), then 23:24, 23:54, 00:24 and a last train at 00:54, every night. 52 trains a day Monday to Friday, 49 on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.

EUR 1.80 is the two-zone single: the airport is in zone 1 and the two city stations are in zone 0. Do not buy more zones than that for the center.

Paying at the gate with a bank card means tapping out at the other end too. Renfe charges the maximum for the whole network — the five-zone fare — to any card that enters and never exits.

A return is EUR 3.60, the price of two singles, and the return half must be used the same day; there is no saving in it.

Every train calls at María Zambrano before Centro-Alameda. Get off at the first for the AVE, the metro and the bus station; stay on for the Alameda and the old town.

No EMT product is needed or valid: this is Renfe's fare, bought at the station.
