Buses replacing Trains

Granada has not had a rail connection with any Spanish city since March 2015, when conventional train services were interrupted to start working on the high speed network for AVE trains.

The trains have been replaced by a bus service that connects Granada with Santa Ana train station in Antequera.

High speed trains started operating in Granada from 26 June 2019 but this bus service will continue to operate for Seville and Algeciras, since these destinations will continue to be without a rail connection with Granada.

Eight daily buses take passengers from Granada to that station, so they can get on high speed trains coming from Málaga.

You can check the schedule for those buses on RENFE web page. Simply type your destination on the search box and a list of AVE-BUS or WITH SCALE will appear on the screen with the bus schedules for the trains that will connect you with your desired destination from Antequera.

All buses depart from Granada Train Station and arrive to Santa Ana train station.
