Spain has recorded at least five fatal high-speed rail accidents in 2026, according to a widely shared tally. Among them is the Adamuz rail disaster of January 18, when a high-speed Iryo train derailed on the Madrid–Seville line near Córdoba after a fractured rail weld, with a southbound Renfe train striking the wreckage moments later. The list has prompted criticism of rail maintenance and safety oversight on the Spanish network.
Why now: A high-profile compilation of deadly rail accidents in a single year is drawing attention to safety standards on Spain's high-speed network.
