Madrid to Sevilla Route Overview

The Madrid to Sevilla route was opened for the 1992 Seville Expo and marked the start of Spain's modern high-speed network. South of Madrid the line crosses the plains of La Mancha, passes the Sierra Morena area, and reaches Andalucia through Cordoba before entering Sevilla. A distinctive feature of this route is the mix of competing high-speed operators on the same corridor, giving travelers a choice between full-service AVE, low-cost Avlo and Ouigo, and Iryo. Most tickets on Spanish high-speed trains are for reserved seats only, so passengers should board the exact train printed on the ticket.
