The Renfe Arco services used to run on the following routes:

Until 2 May 2008, the trains were operating on the Mediterranean corridor, between Barcelona, Alicante and Murcia. There was also an Arco train service from Porbou / Cerbere (France) and Valencia Nord.

On 10 September 2011 the Arco service on the route between Barcelona and Granada/Málaga/Sevilla/Badajoz (García Lorca) was replaced by the Alaris service. [1]

On 2 March 2020 the brand Arco was permanently retired when the last remaining service on the route Camino de Santiago ceased operations. [2]

Technical data

Arco fully renovated and refurbished Renfe's B11x-10200 series of passenger trains. New bogies, capable of working at 220 km/h, were added. The bogies are modified versions of model GC-1 by CAF, also known as GC-3, allowing a higher degree of comfort at higher speeds.
