I drove this route for the first time and was really pleased overall. The view from the window was really nice, especially in rural areas with lots of nature. That made the journey pleasant. There was an on-board bistro, which I found practical, even if the prices were quite steep. It was pleasantly quiet in the compartment, which I really appreciated because I just wanted to switch off. The service on board was friendly and helpful, but unfortunately a little infrequent. Unfortunately, the wifi was not as stable as I had hoped, which is why I'm giving it four stars instead of five.

In any case, the train was very punctual. It was a great relief for me that the staff were very helpful. The staff were able to help me if I had a problem. The train was also very clean and hygienic. The reception and wifi were fast and constant. The price of the ticket was reasonable. I can only give it five stars and my recommendation.

I would like to start by saying that there is nothing negative about this connection. The train was very punctual and the staff endeavoured to make the journey as pleasant as possible. Another advantage was that the toilets were very clean and I didn't have to worry about getting sick or anything like that. In conclusion, I can only give it five stars and my explicit recommendation.

Disadvantages
Icon20 minutes late
Firstly, I would like to mention the toilets, which were exceptionally clean. The rest of the train was also very clean and the comfort was excellent. Unfortunately, there was a delay of 20 minutes on the journey from Malaga to Granada. This meant that the journey took an hour and 40 minutes. I travelled in the A 8855 and have to say that it was very good value for money. The service was very good.

I was able to switch off on this journey. My compartment was almost empty and I used the time to simply relax. I had a very comfortable seat, which I could even recline a little. This gave me more legroom and allowed me to relax. It was very clean and the necessary comfort was available. Of course, this also includes punctuality. It took 1 hour and 18 minutes.

My journey from Málaga to Granada on the MD 13922 train and subsequent transfer to the Avant 13062 was unexpectedly positive. The total journey time of 1 hour and 50 minutes was impressively short for this route with a change of trains. The first train left Málaga on time and the staff were friendly and helpful. The seats were comfortable enough for the short journey. The change went smoothly as the connecting train was already waiting on the platform and was well signposted. On the second train, I was pleasantly surprised by the modern facilities. The wifi worked perfectly, so I was able to use the time to work. The scenery between the two cities was breathtakingly beautiful, especially as we approached Granada. The train crew on the second train were particularly attentive and regularly offered drinks and snacks. The punctuality was impressive - we arrived in Granada exactly at the advertised time. The only slight downer was the changeover itself, which could be a little stressful for travellers with a lot of luggage. However, the transfer time was sufficient.

I could easily book my ticket in advance. There were power sockets.

Guaranteed comfortable and easy travelling. A direct train connection takes you to Granada in just under 1:30 hours. The journey was very good value without changing trains. We travelled in the Renfe Avant and would do so again and again. It is clean, comfortable and you even have enough legroom. The train was also very punctual. I can only recommend this mode of transport.
Advantages
IconVery punctual
The train was very punctual. I travelled on train number 2184 and didn't have to change trains. The journey took about 90 minutes. The toilets were very clean and I had a small table to fold out at my seat. The price-performance ratio was right and I would recommend the connection.
