Andalusian itinerary

Charm, local colour, high spirits, culture and art are just a few of the terms used to describe the cities along this seven-day route in two directions (Seville to Malaga and vice versa). Passengers can also explore these places on specially arranged guided tours. One example of a typical stage, on the route from Seville to Malaga, the train departs Seville (known for its Giralda, Cathedral and Alcázar) towards Jerez (make sure not to miss its wine and its traditional horse shows) and Cadiz (with its unique Barrio de la Viña and La Caleta Beach). The third, fourth and fifth days include stops in Ronda (with spectacular views), Córdoba (with its Mosque-Cathedral and its wonderful historic centre), Úbeda and Baeza (World Heritage Cities) and Granada (with its impressive Alhambra and the opportunity to enjoy flamenco). After a sixth day spent entirely getting to know Granada, the seventh day ends in Malaga, capital of the famous Costa del Sol boasting an outstanding old quarter and lively port. The plan for the Malaga-Seville direction is very similar, but in reverse.
