Expert in Spain train schedule

Any "expert in reading the Spanish train schedule" want to figure out our itinerary? I certainly would appreciate it. It might not be too difficult or time consuming for someone who knows what they are doing. For me, it's impossible! I trust the following cities are connected by train. I know that days of the week and preferred times ultimately matter. If you're willing to help, I'll give more specifics. Thanks!

Madrid to Toledo
Toledo to Cordoba
Cordoba to Granada
Granada to Sevilla

I have been using the petrabax agency site for planning purposes (select the train tab)....not sure that you don't pay a premium if you actually buy on it, but still very useful.

Easily the best site for European train schedules is bahn.de - you certainly don't need to be any kind of expert to use it. And if you want general info on trains in Spain (or anywhere else) use seat61.com

for any European train schedule I always use the Wunderbar German Railways online schedules that covers all European trains and is the easiest to use I have seen - does not give pricing but for schedules like you wish - for a good link to the English schedule page go to: http://www.budgeteuropetravel.com/ and on the home page click on the link 'best online timetable' or some such wording and this brings you to the English schedule page - the reason I give this site link because besides the link it gives you several valuable tips for using the bahn.de site - things that may not be apparent at first glance.

And RailEurope USA now sells Spanish tickets at www.renfe.es - Spanish Railways online site - same prices with a $7 surcharge only - so if you get frustrated with renfe.es as many do and wish to get the tickets without hassle go to www.seat61.com and click on their commercial link to RailEurope or thru the site I reference above as well.

And all you cities are easily connected by train as you will see on bahn.de - but buses are a viable alternative to Granada to Seville as the train takes a round-about routing there and buses are often faster and cheaper - plenty of buses.

Madrid-Toledo.. one every hour for 10.60E

Toledo-Cordoba you have to back track to Madrid.

cordoba-granada.. there are two trains daily. ( the fake date I put in)

Why can't you see these on the website?

www.renfe.es It can be in english also. good luck.

Lin is right,, Renfe is easy to navigate.
The date has to be within 60 days.
