Company History
Renfe was founded in 1941 as the Spanish National Railway Network (Red Nacional de los Ferrocarriles Españoles) after the nationalization of Spain's private railway companies. In 2005, the company was split into Renfe Operadora (the operator) and ADIF (the infrastructure manager), and Renfe has since expanded its high-speed AVE services and international operations, including routes to France.
