Have you considered hiring a Car to do AGP>Concert>AGP And then fly to MAD.
However, if an extra day is not a problem, do the extra day.
I decided that spending an extra day in Spain is the best thing to do. I need to get back from Sevilla to Madrid (MAD) Sunday afternoon. Now, the train looks appealing because of the price, however, If I use
http://www.raileurope.com/index.html
because I reside in the USA, The only option is to have the train ticket ($84) delivered to me which is going to cost me an extra $18.00, plus an extra $9.00 for insurance for a total of an extra $27.00. Brings the total of the train ticket closee to that of the airfare from SVQ to MAD. Kind of defeats the purpose of taking the train to save some money.
http://www.renfe.es/ wont even give me the option of home delivery since I reside in the USA. Anyone have a way around my train delimna?
Edited to add:
It almost looks like the fares are the same no matter when you book it, 30 days out, 3 days out. I am wondering, does anyone know if you can walk up to the train station in Seville the day before and Purchase a train ticket for your destination at reasonable rates? (In this case, the $84.00 it would cost me if I bought it today)?
Last, Getting from malaga to Seville, best way seems to be by bus. Can I buy a walk up bus ticket once I get into Malaga airport? Or, do I have to get to the city center to buy the ticket and get the bus?
Many thanks!
