CONNECTIONS TOWARDS THE SOUTH<\/h2>\n

Madrid-Seville line<\/strong>
\n<\/strong><\/span>
\n<\/strong>Madrid, the capital, is also connected by high-speed train with Seville<\/strong>, in the very heart of Andalusia. In under two and a half hours you can go from the most famous of cosmopolitan Madrid’s monuments, such as the Royal Palace and Prado Museum, to enjoy the gastronomy and charm of Seville’s most beautiful spots, like the Giralda and Torre del Oro towers.<\/p>\n

That same line makes various intermediate stops. The first stop is Ciudad Real<\/strong>, a land that is famous because it was immortalised in “Don Quixote”, by Cervantes. The second stop is Puertollano<\/strong>. And the third stop is Cordoba<\/strong>, whose historical centre is a World Heritage Site, and where you’ll be able to find famous monuments such as the Great Mosque.<\/p>\n

Barcelona-Seville line<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can get from Barcelona<\/strong> to Seville in just over five hours on the AVE high-speed train. Imagine the possibilities! For example, wake up next to the Sagrada Familia Church in the morning and enjoy a walk round Mar\u00eda Luisa Park in Seville in the evening. The train also stops at Camp de Tarragona, Lleida, Zaragoza, Ciudad Real, Puertollano and Cordoba.<\/p>\n

Madrid-Malaga line<\/strong>
\n<\/strong><\/span>
\n<\/strong>Also in Andalusia, just 150 kilometres from Cordoba, AVE trains take you from Madrid to Malaga<\/strong>, where you will be amazed by the Roman Theatre. Sometimes, Renfe (the company that runs the high-speed trains) offers promotions such as a reduced rate visit to one of the most famous museums in Malaga – the Picasso Museum – by presenting the train ticket.<\/p>\n

That same line makes various intermediate stops in Cordoba<\/strong>, Puente Genil <\/strong>and Antequera<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Barcelona-Malaga line<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can also get to Malaga<\/strong> from Barcelona on the high-speed train. This will enable you get practically from one tip of the Spanish Mediterranean coast to the other in just over five hours and a half. Other stops on this line include Camp de Tarragona, Zaragoza, Cordoba, Puente Genil <\/strong>and Antequera.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
