Rating

Rail travel on the AVE provides a direct city-center connection, avoiding the long transit times required for airports in Malaga or Seville. Buses are available but the journey takes over 13 hours, significantly longer than the train. Flights require a trip to Malaga airport and security checks, making the total travel time comparable to the train while being less environmentally friendly.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
