Trains to Los Piedaos

It's surprisingly easy to travel from the UK to Spain by train. Take an afternoon Eurostar from London to Paris in just 2 hours 20 minutes, then the excellent overnight trainhotel from Paris to Madrid or Barcelona, with onward train connections for Alicante, Malaga, Valencia, Seville or Granada. The trainhotel has cosy bedrooms, a restaurant and a café-bar, see the photos below. The Gran Clase bedrooms even have a private toilet and shower... It's affordable, too, as fares start at £59 return for Eurostar from London to Paris plus £51 each way for the trainhotel from Paris to Madrid or Barcelona including a bed in a 4-berth sleeper for the night. Better still, how about £110 each way per person in a 2-bed Gran Clase sleeper with private shower & toilet, dinner with wine and breakfast included in the fare..? This page will tell you train times, fares, and how to buy tickets.

In the middle of a train tour of Spain and beyond, train enthusiasts can take a week or so restful break at Los Piedaos. Granada has a Main Line terminal station with connections to Malaga and the high speed network to Sevilla, Madrid, Barcelona and France. The high speed connection to Granada is under construction.
