Renfe, the spanish government national rallway, offers discount to anyone over 60 years of age. All you have to do is to buy a yearly golden age card (pensioner discount card) called tarjeta dorada for 5.15 euro. You can renew this card yearly. This card will entitled you to discount on the renfe lines and also on the cercanias line (suburban trains). The discounts are as follows:
Monday to thursday: 40%
Friday, saturday, sunday and holidays: 25%
On the same subject, i think 4 people travelled together are entitled to 60% discount. The stipulation is that they will have to sit facing each other???
If you need more info, go into the renfe website.
On a different subject, some intercity buses have discounted tickets if you are over 60. If you look older, they will sell you the discounted ticket. It is always worth asking. Ask in spanish, "tienes descuento para jubilados?".
The discounted ticket does save you money.
