Question

Hey how can I get from Madrid or Sevilla to Granada ?

Answer 1

Granada is not on the high speed rail network yet. What happens is a slower train runs down the high speed rail from Madrid to Cordoba, then goes south to Antequera, and then East to Granada. There are only two non-stops per day (as opposed to approx 22 high speed trains).

============================

The morning train leaves Madrid (Atocha station) at 7:40 and gets into Cordoba at 9:49 (half hour longer than the AVE). It continues on to Granada at quarter past noon.

------------------------

It's important not to miss the train since the next non-stop train leaves at 5 in the afternoon (Cinco de la Tarde for you Garcia Lorca fans).

==============================

From Seville there are four trains per day (3 hours). This train is fairly slow (less than 50 mph). If you are returning you may want to rent a car for this leg and visit the city of Antequera midway.

Answer 2

From Madrid to Granada by plane, train or bus...

From Sevilla to Granada there are no direct trains, your best bet is the direct bus (it takes about 3 hrs.).

Or rent a car....

Whichever suits best your schedule AND your wallet!
