Travel Info

Located in the South of Spain, Seville is the capital city of Andalusia and one of the largest cities in Spain with over 700.000 inhabitants. It is possible to fly directly to Seville (San Pablo Airport) or one of the nearby cities such as Jerez, Malaga or Faro from certain departure cities. However, it is most likely that you will arrive either to Madrid (Barajas Airport) or to Barcelona (El Prat Airport). Seville airport is in the way from Seville to Carmona (10 km. to Seville and 20 km. to Carmona).

In addition to take a connecting flight to Seville, another way to get Seville from Madrid or Barcelona is by the Spanish high speed AVE train operated by Renfe, the Spanish national railway (www.renfe.es).

These AVE trains cover the distance Madrid‐Seville in two hours and a half from the Atocha Railway Station, and Barcelona‐Seville in five hours and a half, from Barcelona Sants Railway Station. Both railway stations are reached from the airports easily by metro, bus or train. However, there are also other slower and cheaper trains from Madrid or Barcelona to Seville.
