The AVE high speed train link between Córdoba and Málaga is now 95% complete and will be ready by the autumn.

Work continues on the tunnel which will take the new service into the centre of the new RENFE station in Málaga city centre. Work on platforms there is now underway.

The new link has cost 2.1 billion € and that amount does not include the cost of the trains.

The line will have a top commercial speed of 300 km/ hour.
