Easy to get wrong
Barcelona-Valencia journey-time figures vary widely between sources because some blend in the slower Euromed or connecting services -- the fastest direct AVE is closer to 2h47-3h09, not the 4-hour-plus averages some trip planners quote.

Status
This is the one Renfe AVE corridor in this set with genuine open-access competition -- Ouigo and iryo also run Barcelona-Valencia, alongside Renfe's own AVE service, so fares and schedules are worth comparing across operators rather than assuming Renfe is the only option.
