Adif has given no reopening date. Every train that runs through to Madrid is out: Renfe's AVE, Avlo, Alvia and Intercity, plus all [iryo]() and OUIGO trains on the line. OUIGO has cancelled its Andalucía trains up to and including 15 November 2026. Between [Seville]() and Córdoba you still have two Renfe options. The Avant uses the high-speed line south of the closure. Media Distancia trains take the older conventional line and stop at smaller towns on the way. For a day trip, take the Avant. ## Journey time and timetable pattern The Avant takes 42 to 48 minutes. Media Distancia trains need 1 hour 34 minutes to 1 hour 43 minutes, roughly twice as long. Trains leave Santa Justa from early morning until late evening, but Avant departures can be two hours or more apart, in late morning and again in mid afternoon, so check the time of the next one before you set off. Coming back is easy, because the last Avant from Córdoba to Seville leaves in the late evening. ## Tickets, fares and passes Renfe sells both trains. Avant tickets start from €22.30 one way in Turista and Media Distancia tickets from €14.00. On both, the first change is free, later changes cost 10% and cancelling costs 15%. Seats are limited, so buy your day trip tickets before you reach the station. Interrail pass holders can use Renfe trains, but most Spanish trains need a seat reservation on top of the pass. Book Avant and Media Distancia reservations through Interrail's reservation service or at the ticket desk in Santa Justa. ## Stations at each end Trains leave from Sevilla Santa Justa, Seville's central station, which links with Cercanías trains and buses. In Córdoba, they all arrive at Córdoba-Julio Anguita, the city's main station, open from 06:00 until midnight with bus and taxi connections. ## After the high-speed line reopens In the normal timetable, AVE and Avlo trains from [Seville to Madrid]() call at Córdoba after about 41 minutes, and Alvia trains take about 1 hour 5 minutes. Renfe already has AVE and Avlo seats from Seville to Córdoba on sale for mid-December dates, after the timetable change on 13 December 2026. Adif has given no reopening date for the line, so treat any AVE booking as provisional until it does, and keep the Avant as your fallback. ## Where to book ![]() ### Book with Omio Find times and prices for Seville → Cordoba.
