or normal, as opposed to "valle," which is off-peak.
**There appears to be a discrepancy here re the term "llano"

http://www.transitionsabroad.com/publications/magazine/0107/...
Spain’s fastest train, the AVE (Alta Velocidad Española), whisks travelers between Madrid and Sevilla in less than three hours. AVE is 85 percent covered by the Eurailpass (Madrid to Sevilla costs Eurailers about $9). Point-to-point tickets for long-distance trains are priced differently according to their time of departure. Peak hours (punta) are most expensive, followed by llano and valle (quietest and cheapest times). Overnight trains (and buses) are usually less expensive than the daytime rides.

Punta, pico, punta alto, punta pico, **llano, valle** y supervalle
Traducción al inglés:Peak, peak, high peak, high peak, **flat, off-peak**, super-off-peak
Explicación:
These are just different times for electric meters that invoice according to time of use, normally pico and punta are synonims, but if you need them separate one could be top and the other peak

HTH!
