Hi ,
I am planning to travel alone to Spain this June. I am trying to find out what would be my best option to travel between Toledo and Granada? I checked Renfe.com but there seems to be no connection.
Thanks !

It's going to be by either bus or train, both looping back up to Madrid.
They both would take about the same amount of time. The bus should cost roughly half as much.

You do not have a choice almost all the time -
http://samar.es/ - Toledo to Madrid
www.alsa.es - Madrid to Granada
(but there is one direct bus journey every Sunday with ALSA)

If you look to take the train, on RENFE you need to search from Madrid Atocha Puerta Station to Granada - not from Toledo. It will show you all the train schedules. Then once you select a train (and advance purchase), then plan on leaving Toledo about 2 hours prior. The Toledo-Madrid is just a commuter train.

If you use the DB train schedule link to print schedules, but not to buy tickets, then you can enter a search from Toledo to Granada by train, and it will reflect the connection at Madrid Atocha station (37 minutes to make the connection, e.g., departing Toledo at 7:55 a.m. Mon-Fri and next leg departs Madrid at 9:05). The next schedule with only one connection is late afternoon.
