It leaves Sevilla Santa Justa and calls at Córdoba, Puente Genil-Herrera, Antequera-Santa Ana, Antequera AV and Loja on the way. No change, one seat. Expect to head north-east to Córdoba first. The route turns south from there, which explains why a trip of this length takes well over two hours. Planners also list connections with a change at Córdoba. One or two are a few minutes quicker on paper, but each relies on a train to or from [Madrid]() or [Barcelona]() that runs over the closed line (see below). ## Journey time and timetable The direct Avant takes about 2 hours 40 minutes. In the timetable running to 12 December 2026 there are usually four a day from Santa Justa: early morning, mid-morning, around midday and in the evening. Two of them get you to Granada by lunchtime. The early morning train arrives around mid-morning and the next one around midday, which leaves the afternoon free. 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 Since a collision near Urda, in [Toledo]() province, on 28 October 2026, the high-speed line between Madrid and Andalucía has been closed. Adif still listed it as shut on 6 November, with no reopening date. The [Seville]() to Granada Avant runs south of the closed section and remains in the timetable. Change journeys are where it bites. They use a train to or from Madrid or Barcelona for one leg, such as an AVE or Alvia from Córdoba that started in Madrid, and those can be cancelled while the line is shut even if a planner still offers them. ## Tickets and reservations Avant tickets come in one class, Turista, with a reserved seat on every journey. A standard single costs €47.20 on every direct Avant (November 2026). Buy the return at the same time and each leg is 20% cheaper. Cancelling a single costs 15% of the fare. Interrail pass holders also need a seat reservation on the Avant. You can book one through the Interrail reservation service or at a station ticket desk in Spain, and it costs a fee on top of the pass. ## Stations Santa Justa is the station for these trains, open from 04:30 to 00:30 and linked to every Cercanías line in Seville, so even the first Avant is easy to reach. Granada has a single station, with a metro stop and a taxi rank outside. ## Where to book ![]() ### Book with Omio Find times and prices for Seville → Granada.
