Train Versus Plane

Hello, forum members. I need your help. I am still making plans for my trip in Spain.
I have checked Ryan Air from Madrid to Granada and it appears the only flight on a Sunday is 6:20 in the early evening. I arrive at Madrid Airport at around 7:30 AM on a Sunday. I want to go to Granada that day. I will be tired but want to go directly to Granada.
I priced Iberia and it would cost 210.00 or so 1 way. Any suggestions for other
airlines from Madrid to Granada or train schedule with change-over in Cordoba
The fast train goes to Cordoba but not to Granada. I would rather get there by plane. I have very limited time in Spain.
I can't change my flight reservations from Boston to Madrid.
Any advise would be most helpful

1) Spanair has a flight but involved a change of planes. It leaves at 6:00 PM and arrive at 9 PM into Granada.

2) Ryanair's flight leaves at 6:20 in the morning, not evening. (Eruope uses the 24 hour clock, notAM & PM)

If you would tell us the exact date, we could help more. Just saying "a Sunday" could mean June, July, NOvember, 2011.

Hi Virginia,

I just took a look at the Deutsche Bahn website and there are multiple train trips per day - even on Sundays - that do not require you to switch trains. It appears as though it is just over 4:30 from train station to train station.
