An accurate transportation advice (only if you know)

Hi, here is my final schedule and I want to ask for help of exactly what train to take from one side to other, just asking to the people that knows. ( I know I can find this info in many sites, what I want the info from someone who has done it ) if you can take the time to pass me that info THANK YOU!!!

Spanish side:
MADRID TO SEVILLA
SEVILLA TO MALAGA (maybe staying in Benalmadena O Marbella)
MALAGA TO VALENCIA (this is a car rental)
VALENCIA TO BARCELONA

French side:
BARCELONA TO MONTPELLIER
MONTPELLIER TO BORNES-LES-MIMOSAS
MONTPELLIER TO MARSEILLE
MARSEILLE TO NICE
MARSEILLE TO LYON
LYON TO PARIS

HOW I CAN DO THIS??

Thank you so much!!

I'm not sure I understand your question. Which "exact" train to take will surely depend on your departure date and time you wish to leave (or arrive).

But, for what it is worth, there are about 20 highspeed, direct (no change needed) trains from Madrid to Sevilla every day. They are operated by Renfe, Iryo and Ouigo, They all take roughly the same time and cost similar prices between the operators (price differences are more based on date and time, and how far in advance you book, not the company running the service). The start and end railway stations are the same (Madrid Atocha and Sevilla Santa Justa), and the onboard experience isn't that different. You could look at each operator's website for details or use "trainline.com" to get information on all three and then book with the one you prefer.

By "Exact Train" what exactly are you looking for? You do not give dates or times, so train number/schedule can't be given. For Madrid to Seville for example, as many as forty trains run that route each day, and, I believe, a couple different operators. Trains operated by Renfe, the Spanish train operator would be the most common. What other info do you need?

Seville to Malaga is much the same, except there are only a few direct trains, most options would have you change trains in Cordoba.

Valencia to Barcelona is a direct train.

A little precision would be helpful. As someone who has done, maybe a hundred or more trains, I seldom worry about precise trains so not sure what you are asking.

Think of bus as a very reliable, fast, cheap, clean, modern, safest and very comfortable option for some of these itineraries. So frequently ignored by US visitors, not sure why!
