During our stay in Seville, we chose to visit Cordoba for a day. A look back at a very simple journey from Seville.

As a reminder, here is the booked itinerary:

Purchase and booking

I made our reservations at the very beginning of our stay in Majorca. So it was an early departure and a return to Seville at around 6pm, for €64 return for two in Turista class.

Boarding

We take an Uber from the Alfonso XIII hotel to the Santa Justa train station. The station is quite far from the historic center, about a 40-minute walk.

In Spain, a security check is compulsory before boarding the train: a simple X-ray check of luggage. No metal detection for passengers.

The train will take 15 minutes to set up after we arrive at the platform, and then we’ll be able to access it after the cleaning operations.

Cabin

The cabin is fairly new, but quite basic. There are no Turista Plus or Preferente classes on board this regional high-speed train.

The train’s progress can nevertheless be followed on screens.

Service and catering

On these rather short trains (4 cars), there’s no bar car, no mobile vending, and even less service included.

Arrival and disembarkation

We arrive in Cordoba after a 50-minute journey, and perfectly on time. Disembarkation goes smoothly.

Bottom line

A very simple journey, but with unrivalled comfort and speed.
