Arriving & moving on

Your own way in and out.

The route carries the story; the rails carry everything before it and after it. These are the stretches our travellers most often take on their own — never a rival to the route, the road out of it.

RailMadrid → CórdobaRenfe AVE · ≈ 1 h 45Direct, city centre to city centre — the busiest corridor, trains all day.
RailMadrid → ToledoRenfe AVANT · ≈ 30 minThe city of the first coach stretch — an easy day before the trip or on the return.

Times are approximate, compiled from operator timetables (Renfe, ONCF, Eurostar, SNCF). Always confirm current schedules before travelling — and send us your arrival; the welcome is arranged.
