FEVE
Ferrocarriles de Vía Estrecha (FEVE) (meaning "Narrow Gauge Railways") is a state-owned Spanish railway company, which operates most of Spain's 1,250 km (775 mile) long system of metre-gauge railways. The company was formed in 1972 when all of Spain's narrow-gauge railways were brought under unified ownership.
Most of the narrow gauge railways operated by FEVE are located in the north-west of the country (Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria, and the Basque Country), where they form a large system.
The most important line operated by FEVE is a 650 km (400 mile) long line, the Transcantábrico which runs along the entire length of Spain's north coast, and connects the cities of San Sebastian, Bilbao, Santander, Oviedo and EuskoTren - operates in Basque Country
The main railway operator in Spain is RENFE (Red Nacional de los Ferrocarriles Españoles = Spanish National Railway Network).
