Granada to Valencia by trainMy Journey from Granada to Valencia by Train with Renfe AVE
By Nancy Sevilla
I planned a culture-to-coast day and booked a seat on the Granada to Valencia train. If you’re set to travel from Granada to Valencia, Renfe’s AVE train links Andalusia and the Levante with simple boarding and an arrival close to the old town. Even in the AVE’s Estándar class, it was a comfortable ride. If you’re wanting to know what to expect, I tell you all about my trip and give you tips on how to make your experience even better.
Route overview
This trip runs from Granada to Valencia Joaquín Sorolla. The distance is about 380 km, and typical journey times take around 6 hours. You usually change once at Antequera or Madrid. Granada Station is close to the city center, which makes it easy to start your trip. With good legroom and plenty of onboard facilities, the AVE train avoids the stress of airport lines and taxis. For me, it's the best way to travel from Granada to Valencia.
Transportation experience
I booked my Granada-Valencia train ticket on Omio. The process was easy: I chose Renfe AVE, selected the day and time, then paid online in minutes. I saved the QR ticket to my phone, which made the check-in process hassle-free at Granada Station. I considered taking the bus from Granada to Valencia, but it can take around 8 hours to 9 hours and 30 minutes.
Departure station
I reached Granada Station on foot from the center, then followed the signs to security and platforms. It was easy to navigate with signs in English and Spanish. The hall has ticket machines, a café, toilets, and clear wayfinding. I grabbed a mid-morning coffee and croissant for €6.50 at Café Continental, which also serves muffins, bagels, and sandwiches. I like to arrive 20 minutes early, and I recommend the same for you to ensure a smooth check-in and platform call.
In València, the train arrived at Joaquín Sorolla, the AVE station south of the city center. There are no lockers inside the station, but there are several nearby options if your hotel check-in is later. I’ve used them before, and they usually cost about €5 for the day. The local bus stop is right outside the station, but I took a taxi instead, which cost around €15 to my hotel in the center.

Schedule & frequency
Train timings between Granada and Valencia vary by season, but there are usually three to eight Renfe AVE and other trains per day, all requiring one change. The first train departs around 6:00 AM, and the last one around 6:30 PM. I chose a mid-morning departure at 10:00 AM from Granada, which stopped once in Antequera and arrived in Valencia at 4:00 PM, just in time for dinner. Always verify the exact schedule in the Omio app close to your travel date.
Onboard experience & services
I rode Estándar Class on Renfe AVE, which is essentially the same as Standard on other operators. The seats have a 2x2 layout with good legroom, fold-down tables, and power sockets, which I used to keep my phone topped up. The PlayRenfe Wi-Fi worked well, just as it has on other routes. I used the onboard Wi-Fi to check maps and pin cafés near Ciutat Vella (Old Town in Valencian) before arrival. The air conditioning kept the coach cool throughout the trip, and the train ride was smooth and quiet through the countryside. Restrooms were located at the coach ends and stayed clean the whole way. Luggage fits on overhead racks or at the coach ends. On Renfe AVE trains, you can bring up to 3 items (total weight of 25kg), which was more than enough for my carry-on and small daypack. For food, I had already grabbed a croissant at Granada Station, but since it was a long ride before dinner time, I picked up some chips and cookies from the bar car on board. About an hour after departure, the train stopped at Antequera, then continued across Spain before arriving in Valencia around 4:00 PM. The highlight views along the way were the olive groves between Granada and Antequera. After the train pulled in at Joaquín Sorolla, I took a quick taxi to my hotel and arrived just in time for dinner in the city.
Ticketing advice & budget breakdown
I booked my Renfe AVE ticket 4 weeks in advance on Omio and paid €80. I considered taking an overnight bus, but the train was faster and more comfortable for the price. Fares sometimes cost over €100 for this route, so try to book as early as you can.
| Item | Cost (eur) |
|---|---|
| Ticket price | €80 |
| Food & drinks | €6.50 |
| Travel to departure station | €15 |
| Travel from arrival station | €15.00 |
| Total | € 116.5 |
Top tips & recommendations
- Arrive early: About 20 minutes gives you enough time for security and platform checks.
- Choose your seat: Sit on the left side of the train leaving Granada to see the olive groves after Antequera.
- Pack smart: Renfe allows three pieces of luggage with a 25 kg total limit, which keeps boarding quick and easy.
- Use lockers: Find luggage services near Joaquín Sorolla if you want to explore before hotel check-in.
- Carry ID: Always keep your passport or national ID with you for ticket checks.

For comfort and city-center arrivals, the Granada to Valencia train on Renfe AVE is a smart choice. I stepped off the train, ready for horchata and evening light near the Turia Gardens.
