From Granada it calls at Loja, Antequera AV, Antequera-Santa Ana, Puente Genil-Herrera and Córdoba before Sevilla Santa Justa. You keep one seat all the way. The line swings north to Córdoba rather than heading straight west. That is why the trip takes longer than the distance suggests. Journey planners also show connections with a change at Córdoba. One or two are a few minutes quicker on paper, but each uses a train to or from [Madrid](), [Barcelona]() or [Valencia]() that runs over the closed line (see below). ## Journey time and timetable Direct trains take about 2 hours 45 to 2 hours 50 minutes. In the timetable running to 12 December 2026 there are usually four a day from Granada: one very early, then early afternoon, late afternoon and early evening. Miss the first and the next direct one is hours away. The early train is the useful one for a full first day in [Seville](). It gets you to Santa Justa by mid-morning. Avant times from 13 December 2026, when the new timetable starts, are not yet in Renfe's timetable, so if you travel later, look at your own date nearer the time. ## The Madrid line closure The high-speed line between Madrid and Andalucía has been shut since a collision near Urda, in [Toledo]() province, on 28 October 2026. On 6 November Adif still listed it as closed, with no reopening date. The Granada to Seville Avant does not use the closed section and is still in the timetable. The catch is the change journeys. They pair a train from Granada towards Madrid or Barcelona with a train into Seville that has come from Madrid, Barcelona or Valencia. Those trains run over the closed section, so do not rely on them while the line is shut, even if a planner still shows them. ## Tickets and reservations Renfe sells Avant tickets in one class, Turista, and every seat is reserved. A standard single costs €47.20 on every direct Avant (November 2026). A return bought together is 20% cheaper on each leg. A single can be cancelled for a 15% fee. With an Interrail pass you still need a seat reservation for the Avant. Book it through the Interrail reservation service or at a station ticket desk in Spain, and expect a fee on top of the pass. ## Stations Granada has one station for these trains, open from 06:00 to 23:15 with a metro stop outside, so the early Avant leaves soon after the doors open. In Seville you arrive at Santa Justa, which connects with every Cercanías line in the city and has a taxi rank. ## Where to book ![]() ### Book with Omio Find times and prices for Granada → Seville.

Yes. Renfe's Avant runs direct from Granada to Sevilla Santa Justa, usually four times a day, via Antequera-Santa Ana and Córdoba. Other connections need a change at Córdoba. ### How long is the train from Granada to Seville? About 2 hours 45 to 2 hours 50 minutes on the direct Avant. Some journeys with a change at Córdoba are a few minutes quicker on paper, but they depend on trains using the closed Madrid line. ### Is there a high-speed train between Granada and Seville? Yes. The Avant is Renfe's high-speed train for shorter routes and uses high-speed lines for the trip. It is not branded AVE, but it is the fast direct option. ### Is the Madrid to Andalucía line closure affecting Granada to Seville trains? Not the direct Avant, which avoids the closed section and is still running. Connections with a change at Córdoba use trains to or from Madrid, Barcelona or Valencia, and those can be cancelled while the line between Madrid and Andalucía stays shut after the 28 October 2026 collision. ### Can I use an Interrail pass from Granada to Seville? Yes, Renfe trains are covered, but the Avant needs a seat reservation. Book it through the Interrail reservation service or at a station ticket desk in Spain, and pay the reservation fee on top of the pass. ## More routes [![Seville Cathedral and Giralda tower at sunset]()![SNCF Voyageurs]()![Renfe]()![Ouigo]()Barcelona to Seville by trainDirect trains from Barcelona to Seville take 6 to 7 hours; around 4 run on many days between Barcelona Sants and Sevilla Santa Justa.]()[![Plaza de España in Seville with its canal, bridges and brick towers on a sunny day]()![Renfe]()Cordoba to Seville by trainRenfe Avant trains run from Córdoba to Sevilla Santa Justa in about 55 minutes, Media Distancia in about 1h40.
