Trains

Since 1992 communications to and from Andalucia have been revolutionised by the introduction of the AVE, a high-speed train with speeds of up to 350kph/220mph, linking Madrid with Cordoba, Seville and Malaga.

The AVE's infrastructure has also had a beneficial effect on the region's high-tech Talgo, a train with a top speed of 200kph/125mph which connects several Andalucian cities (Malaga, Algeciras, Cadiz and Huelva) with the capital in just a few hours. From Ronda it is possible to catch a direct Talgo service to Cordoba or Madrid.

The local train service in the Guadiaro Valley - as well as taking you through some of the most amazing scenery is very comfortable and reliable and is ridiculously cheap.

Whilst not a very frequent service (three local stopping trains a day in each direction on the Algeciras - Bobadilla line), you will have a great time mixing with the Andalucian village people on the railway and with a little forward planning can have a great day out for next to nothing and without concerns about parking.
