Has anyone heard of a company called Blablacar.com and how safe are they? It is hiring a driver and takes about 4-5 hours to drive to Seville. Looking for a faster way as train takes about 8hrs - prefer not to fly. Thanks.

There's a direct bus twice per day (one daytime and one overnight); see www.alsa.es.
I would choose this over Blablacar, which I understand to be more like hitching a ride with someone who says they're going your way.
An all-train route doesn't take 8 hours. It's closer to 14 hours with the Lisbon-Madid night train and a morning connection in Madrid.
