They are absolutely not cheap and mostly slow rather than fast.

Well, that depends.

2 adults from Valencia to Madrid and with return for 70€ at a max speed of 300km/h.

We should also take in consideration that planes are cheap because they have become the main mean of transport for long distances for the last decades.

I can't see why we couldn't do this with trains. Invest in infrastructure and use it as much as we can.
