Hello
First time posting so I hope this is ok.
I have booked a trip to Madrid in October for a week which in hindsight I have decided is too long and as I have already done Barcelona, I thought it would be nice to travel to Seville from the Tuesday to the Friday. Train journey is only two hours and a half so happy days. BUT I looked up Rail Europe to get an idea of prices and times and it would work out at £248 sterling return. Our flights were only half that! Here was I thinking the train to Cork was expensive!
I am kicking myself for not looking into it before booking the return flights to Madrid but too late now.
Has anyone any knowledge of trains in Spain? Or that journey? Are they really that much? Are trains much cheaper buying them in the station? Or alternatively I will look at any other suggestions for midweek. Though to be honest I was looking forward to seeing some country side on the train and seemingly Seville is lovely.
Open to all suggestions to alleviate my mess up, thanks in advance
