About Valencia Joaquín Sorolla

Valencia Joaquín Sorolla is the dedicated high-speed railway station in Valencia, built to receive AVE services after the high-speed line from Madrid was extended to the city in 2010. Named after the celebrated Valencian painter, the station sits adjacent to the historic València Nord terminus and is connected to it by a covered walkway, allowing passengers to transfer between high-speed and regional services. The station serves as the main gateway for high-speed travel between Valencia, Madrid, and Barcelona.
