Pros

Service was nice

Cons

Hygiene was terrible

I travelled to Seville on the AVE 02070. I have to say right from the start that the journey was not a very good experience. The hygiene inside the train was really not good and I felt disgusted several times. The rubbish bins weren't emptied and it stank like the toilets. At least the service was quite nice and made the journey a little easier. After a good 2 hours I arrived reasonably satisfied.

Pros

Good wifi

Plenty of storage space

Cons

I needed an alternative way of travelling from Madrid to Seville as my car was in the garage. I decided to take train number 6127 to Seville on 13 July. The journey went without changing trains and without any delays. I set off at 12:25 and arrived at 15:07. The journey took around two hours and 40 minutes. The train was clean and the service was very friendly and helpful. There was fast internet and the seats were very comfortable. There was also a lot of space for luggage.

Pros

Good service

Delicious food in the bistro

Cons

Expensive in terms of price

I travelled from Madrid to Seville on the so-called AVE 02070. As I didn't buy my ticket via the local train website, but days before my journey, I think I paid a lot of money for the journey. The service was worth the price, but there wasn't much else that stood out. The hygiene was normal and the train arrived just about on time. All in all, I have no complaints

Pros

Fast arrival

Cons

Expensive

The negative aspect of travelling from Madrid to Seville was that the ticket was quite expensive for such a short distance. Nevertheless, I liked the fact that I arrived at my destination very quickly. What I liked best was that I didn't have to change trains once during the journey. I also liked the fact that I could book my ticket very easily online and that the wifi worked perfectly during the journey. The train was very tidy, as were the toilets.

Exploring Seville: A Journey Through History and Architecture

Seville Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is the largest Gothic cathedral in the world and was built on the remnants of a mosque after the Reconquista. Its significance lies not only in its architectural grandeur but also as a symbol of Seville's rich history and religious transformation; it houses Christopher Columbus’s tomb, making it an important pilgrimage site for many. Unique features include its stunning bell tower, La Giralda, which offers breathtaking views of the city and showcases intricate Moorish design elements.

The Alcázar of Seville is another UNESCO World Heritage site that exemplifies Mudejar architecture—a blend of Islamic and Christian styles—reflecting centuries of cultural exchange in Spain. Originally developed as a fortress by Muslim rulers in 913 AD, this royal palace continues to be used by Spanish royalty today for official functions. Visitors are captivated by its lush gardens filled with fountains and exotic plants alongside intricately decorated rooms like the Hall of Ambassadors.

Metropol Parasol stands out as one of Seville's most modern landmarks; completed in 2011, it's known locally as "Las Setas" or "the mushrooms." This wooden structure provides shade to Plaza de la Encarnación while offering panoramic views from its elevated walkway—an innovative addition that contrasts beautifully with historic surroundings. The unique honeycomb design not only serves aesthetic purposes but also incorporates archaeological remains beneath it into an engaging visitor experience.
