Tarragona to Antequera Route Overview

This route links the Mediterranean high-speed corridor in Catalonia with Andalusia by using Spain's cross-country AVE axis through Madrid and Cordoba. A distinctive feature is that the arrival station, Antequera-Santa Ana, sits outside the historic town and also functions as a junction for trains toward Malaga, Granada, Seville, and Cordoba. AVE tickets on this long-distance route are seat-reserved; there is no non-reserved boarding practice like on regional commuter trains. Camp de Tarragona is also outside central Tarragona, so allow time for the local bus, taxi, or car transfer before departure.
