Barcelona to Valencia by train

There are three options for taking a train from Barcelona to Valencia:
1: The fastest, most frequent, but typically most expensive option is taking a Euromed service.
2. There are also slower, but typically cheaper alternative express trains available (and they can plug some gaps between the Euromed departures).
3. If you will be travelling with a Eurail or InterRail pass, or buying tickets last minute at the station, you can save money by taking the Regional-Express train.
