Train between Madrid (Atocha station) and Granada

Posted by on

Hello- I am traveling to Madrid, Granada, and Seville in early April 2026.
I am planning to go from Madrid to Granada to Seville (and then back to Madrid) by train.

I cannot find any train tickets from Madrid to Granada right now. I have tried several ticket sites (Rail Europe, Iryo, Renfe).

Does anyone know why I can't find tickets to purchase? Am I trying too far in advance?

Also, is this the correct order to visit these three cities or should I go to Seville first and then Granada?
Thank you-

Train schedules are generally released 90 days in advance, sometimes less than that. Start checking 90 days prior to the date you want to take the train.

Thank you. I'm at about 60 days out and there are no schedules that I can see.
Is it correct that there is a high speed train between Madrid and Granada? What I am reading says there is but getting concerned.

I tried a random date in the middle of April (4/16) and the IRYO site is allowing me to buy tickets for that date.
Trains from Madrid to Granada on IRYO seem to all require a change in Cordoba.

One of several options on that date in April leaves Atocha at 11:15, connects ion Cordoba, and arrives Granada 16:49.
So this is a rather long ride....maybe RENFE has direct routes.

Using the Renfe app, I looked at 23 April and there are four departures listed; three (Ave) you’d be interested in. Each takes about 3.5 hours. Their departure times were 07:20, 13:35, 19:50. The last two had the fewest stops. The times were the same for each day I looked at.

The schedule goes out through the entire month.
