Train tickets to Sevilla - purchase at Madrid airport or Atocha?
I am scheduled to land at the Madrid airport at 7 on a Friday morning in terminal 4S. I plan to purchase train tickets to Sevilla. I know there is a Renfe office in terminal 4. I thought I would take what appears to be an underground rail from 4S to 4, purchase my tickets and then take the Renfe cercanias C1 line to the Atocha station. Is this my best option or should I head directly to Atocha? Thanks

The morning departures to Sevilla do sell out. I would buy as soon as possible after landing rather than waiting until Atocha. If you are on your dime and can estimate the time you can get to Atocha, you can get a significant discount by buying online WEB ticket from www.renfe.com (if you can coax it to accept your CC. It is not that straight forward...) or via Raileurope with little premium.

There is now a direct bus service from Barajas airport to Atocha and that is the way to go. Details here.
