Cordoba to Granada Route Overview

The Cordoba to Granada route links two major Andalusian heritage cities without requiring travel through Madrid. The distinctive part of the trip is the turn through Antequera-Santa Ana, where trains leave the Madrid-Seville high-speed axis and continue toward the Sierra Nevada foothills and Granada's branch of the high-speed network. Seats on AVE and Avant services are reserved by default, so your carriage and seat number are assigned with the ticket. Non-reserved travel is not the usual practice on this route.

The train links Cordoba station with Granada station in about 1 hour 32 minutes on the fastest direct services, keeping the trip close to both city centers. Buses between Cordoba and Granada usually take around 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours 15 minutes, depending on stops and road traffic. Flying is not practical for this city pair because there are no regular nonstop flights and airport transfers would add more time than the rail trip itself. Electric high-speed rail also has a lower carbon impact than making the same Andalusian trip by car or plane.

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