-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!

SNCF OUIGO
About
SNCF OUIGO is a low-cost train service launched in 2013 by SNCF, the French national railway company. It offers budget-friendly travel on both high-speed (Ouigo Grande Vitesse) and conventional (Ouigo Vitesse Classique) lines in France, and also to Belgium and Spain. OUIGO trains are characterized by a \no-frills\" approach, featuring a single class of seating and minimal onboard amenities to keep ticket prices low. While the high-speed services utilize specially reconfigured TGV trains, Ouigo Vitesse Classique uses older locomotive-hauled rolling stock for even cheaper fares on slower routes."
