-The train journey on the Renfe AVLO 02109 from Seville to Málaga was highly recommended! Boarding at Sevilla Santa Justa station went smoothly and without any hassle. The train itself had a pleasant atmosphere: everything was clean, the seats were comfortable and the modern design made a very good impression. The large windows offered a wonderful view of the varied Andalusian landscape, which was a real highlight of the journey.
I was particularly impressed by the direct connection without changing trains. This meant I could enjoy the journey without having to worry about connecting trains. The price-performance ratio is excellent: you get a fast and comfortable connection for a low fare. The staff were friendly, the air conditioning ensured pleasant temperatures and the sanitary facilities were also clean. Wifi and power sockets at the pitch rounded off the positive experience.
I arrived in Málaga relaxed and rested and would choose this connection again at any time. If you want to travel between Seville and Málaga comfortably, cheaply and without changing trains, the Renfe AVLO 02109 is the best choice!

Nevertheless, there was fast internet and power sockets. There were also tables to work at. The staff were very friendly and I was able to reserve a seat.
