Hello:
I am planning to visit Sevilla this summer as part of my Via de la PLata hike. As a side trip I may visit Granada. I would like to know what kind of transportation exists between Sevilla and Granada: trains? buses? What is the fastest way to commute between both cities? Thank you.

Hi Julio
Both bus and train options are available from Sevilla to Granada.
Have a look at the site www.rome2rio.com Then key in your ‘from’ and ‘to’ places. Eg Sevilla & Granada.

Search this site to give you most options for anywhere. Drill down for more details.

This one shows bus option to come out on top - A bit over 3 hours. You’ll get to see some of the terrain too.

The train is similar as far as Córdoba & runs 4 times per day - but then., you’ve only got 1 per day from Córdoba to Granada. So you’d have to time that one.

Buen camino.

Edit: if you choose to travel by train in Spain (and you’re over 60 I think the cut off age) ..then…> before you purchase your ticket …. Buy a ‘tarjeta dorada ‘ card first (approx 7 or 8 euros?) and then buy your ticket. The card entitles you to a good discount on the normal fare. This may be a factor in your choice of travel. The ‘card’ is valid for at least a year.

Try alsa.es for buses, renfe.es for trains
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
I recall doing the Seville to Granada by bus a few years ago and the Granada bus station is quite a distance out of town depending on if and where you stay. I walked in with a pack but we taxied back out as had met with friends and we were starting Camino Mozarabe in Pinos Puente.
 
Try Google map direction to get idea on routes and cost, and then go book your tickets direct with the carriers.
 
The quickest way is to drive but it is a long journey (from experience). Locals recommend and use BlaBla car and if you check it out say next Monday, there a more than 10 offers at €15.00 pp and taking 3 hours. Alternatively hire car

Not tried BlaBla myself but others here have.

 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
